    Great Portuguese cuisine without having to drive to Newark. Delicious food, great service and reasonable prices. Parking on the street. Did I mention some of the best sangria as well.

    The food is good and the drinks are great. I always have a good time when visiting with my family. The paella Valenciana is worth every penny.

    grilled fish and vegetables

    I got together with a friend to get some food and drinks. When I arrived I found parking nearby on the street. I walked into a very live bar and grill. I was lucky to find seats at the bar because it was super busy. Fraceli was our bartender, and she was nice. I started with the red sangria mini pitcher, and it was very good. For my meal, I got the whole red snapper. It did take quite a while for it to come out because they said it takes time for the snapper to prep. When it came out, it looked good. I dug in, and it was good, but I did have to add some salt because it was a little bland. The potatoes and mixed vegetables were good. The bill was really decent. All in all I had a good experience!

    Came here for a repast lunch. We ordered from the regular menu. The food is good and they obviously have a happening bar vibe in the evenings. Prices are reasonable and service was good considering we were at least 20 people. There were some hits and misses on some of the dishes but overall a good experience.

    Grilled red snapper

    Visited this restaurant for dinner and I ordered the red sangria and grilled red snapper and stuffed mushrooms. The red sangria was good but the snapper was bland and the mushrooms were average!!! My bf ordered the grilled stuffed lobster tails which was also bland. Pro : good red sangria Con : food & street parking

    Night cap only. I don't know the food. We came after the restaurant closed. The bar service was quick and the drinks were well made. They had a DJ that played a variety of music. A great place to have some drinks and hear great music.

    Sangria Pitcher $21  Amazing!!!

    I will preface this with admitting that I've never met a dive bar that I didn't like. I walked…read moreinto this one and was welcomed by some great music they had playing that was loud enough to enjoy but low enough to effortlessly share a conversation even across the bar. Simply put, perfect volume for me. Call me old, but even in my youth, I just never saw the point nor cared for non-live music being blasted at levels that make it a strain to enjoy a casual conversation. I also never liked being packed into a crowd, and what some might call "dead", I call it "not overcrowded". If I can immediately find a seat, I'm a happy camper. So I walked in to some great classic rock played at a good volume, was able to sit right down at the bar, was greeted by a perfectly cordial bartender, and found myself enjoying a double of Woodford Reserve while making friendly chat with other customers. Not uncommon look/decor for a dive bar, this is one of those that isn't dimly lit. Also this one is obviously kept clean. What stuck out most to me about the place was its vibe. It immediately strikes you as a friendly and comfortable environment in which to sit and enjoy a drink and a nice conversation. I have to say, I've been to dive bars and even... "regular" bars? that run cheaper than this. That's the star drop, and what would keep me from being a regular. That being said, if this place was close or along my usual commute, it's still the kind of place that makes me want to be a regular. It's just that inviting and pleasant. This would be my dive bar Cheers. And let's face it, stocking your own liquor cabinet and fridge is a lot more cost-efficient than going out to ANY bar. When you go to a bar, you're really paying for the experience. This place, to me, is a very pleasant experience. My friend, who arrived a bit later to join me for some drinks and darts and catching up, had the same impression of the place. We both want to go back. If you're looking for a club, lots of people, loud music, flashing lights, pick up some girl and step outside to throw up on each other's shoes and then go someplace to do whatever, then I'd say it's all good but maybe wait and try this spot in 5 or 10 years. If you just want a pleasant spot to sit down, relax, and enjoy a good drink and some conversation with genuinely friendly and polite people, well in that case I highly recommend this place to you. Go and enjoy!

We found parking about a block and a half away. The vibe inside is really cool. Very clean and very upbeat. I loved it. The acoustics for the band was great. Just a real chill environment. Service was very friendly but also seemed very confused. We ordered wings and got the wrong flavor. And then when we got our check at the end of the night, shots from the table next to us was on our bill. Thank God I was drinking soda most of the night or we may not have caught that. We started with the wings and honestly, they were below average at best. No crisp to them and some parts were just oddly chewy. I saw the table next to us had this wedge salad and I was then really craving it. We opted not to get anything else to eat because the wings were really just that disappointing and at the price point, we didn't want to risk it. Not to mention, the first two beers my buddy asked for.... They were sold out. You're having an event, how are you sold out before it even begins? There was a $15 cover to get in. I was ok with that because the band was beyond phenomenal and let's face it, they're not there for free. It has a ton of potential and from reading the reviews, I'm thinking maybe it was just an off night but I have to base this review on my experience.
