We were always curious about this restaurant by walking by. Grilled Octopus from appetizer menu was amazing... It was tender and spice they use was wonderful. It was our first Portuguese restaurant experience so we took an advice from the server for what to order. We enjoyed their great service and ambiance.
It was certainly a surprise discovery in our neighborhood.3/10/2013 12:00:00 AMCould not have guessed whatCould not have guessed what a fabulous dining experience awaited us when we walked in to this rather small space (there is another room and a lower level). The bar is an absolute must as one of the partners creates tasty cocktails using the unique wines and brandies of Portugal - along with fresh citrus...delicious and a perfect preparation for the flavors to follow. We followed his appetizer and dinner suggestions and all 3 of us were delighted! Portions were generous and fish dishes were outstanding! Do save room for the lemon custard tarts- they are to die for!!!! If you are splurging (at least for us it was) try a bottle of Parus wine at $85. Did not know that Portugal is 6th largest wine producing country. Will be back!!3/10/2013 12:00:00 AM
