About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
From the moment you enter, tones of old world yellows, stone fireplaces, wrought iron cellar gates and sconces, soft candlelight, coves with upholstered sofa seating and friendly staff, it's an undeniable inviting space, nothing short of extraordinary. Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.



The cuisine truly upholds the name of Fine Portuguese/Spanish Dining, seafood and fish, organic meats, the freshest ingredients and to maintain the tradition, huge portions are to be expected. The menu is seasonal and in addition to a varied selection of delectable dishes to satisfy any palette, daily specials are always featured. The wine list with over 180 selections is an ambitious one that keeps growing, but sure not to disappoint the discriminating connoisseur.

    Loved the tilapia piccata and Portuguese sausage. The desserts were awesome. Dri (the waiter) was excellent. The only issue was we had a reservation but were seated in the bar area, not the main dining area. That should have been noted when we made the reservation.

    This restaurant is great, nice bar scene, private dining rooms, good location close to Penn Station and the Prudential Center. The food was very good, definitely try the flambé sausage, the steaks were very tasty. Excellent Newark option.
