    The place was quiet with only about another 5 or so tables occupied. The service was great. Waiter and others very attentive and friendly. Food was pretty good. The restaurant was a bit dated inside, but that was fine. Would go again and try other dishes. Nice of the staff to sing a song for our anniversary and the free slice of cake.

    Our server was friendly, attentive and concerned about our wellbeing. The food was delicious and ample. We appreciated the complimentary bread and amaretto. The Portuguese wine was so good! The mussels and clams were wonderful. All in all a great dining experience and we will be back.

    What a lovely restaurant! The meal delightful and the wine was delicious. My friend and I loved the bacahlao, the calamari and the pasteis de nata. Thanks to our server offering the dessert with a shot of amoretto, I won’t eat dessert any other way. My friend and I will be back very soon!
