Very nice Portugese restaurant (also a good choice if you like Spanish food). Nice atmosphere. Informal but elegant. Nice family place or place for a date. Price value is very good considering most, if not all dishes can be shared. Portions are very large and people often split them in half/ it is common to ask for sharing plates. Food is great quality, I had the seafood paella and the quality of the seafood was great. Everyone else was also happy w/ their food. Good appetizer selection and good entree selection and good Sangria. Service is good. Authentic Portugese restaurant but many waiters are English speaking and menu is in English. Full bar in back. Will definitely go again. Try it you won't be dissapointed. My only complaint is the desserts have never been good when I've been there. All the other food is such excellent quality and so delicious. Dessert menu is limited and creme brulee was literally the worst I've ever had. Coffee (cappucino/ espresso) is GREAT though.

Slow service and a fishy tasting lobster made me decide not to go back to this place again.

The place is nice looking inside and the menu has authentic Portuguese cuisine. Upon arrival, I sat for ten minutes waiting for water and bread AFTER having to call over the bus boy. Then the waiter came. The bread was okay but that's about where it ended. The red sangria was overly sweet with too much sugar added and the mariscada tasted fishy. The lobster was not fresh. For a restaurant with plenty of seafood on the menu I was surprised. If a Portuguese restaurant can't make decent mariscada then the rest of the meals are probably bad.
