About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Fancy
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.

    If you’re a foodie, you should give this place a try and have the filet mignon served on a hot stone with unions and butter. It was amazing.

    Absolutely loved this venue. Started out Tropical Mango Mezcalita and White Sangria followed with fried calamari with a mango sauce......mouth watering. Entrees were baked Bronzini stuffed with crab meat, and grilled Salmon with shrimp....very tasty. Staff was friendly. Definitely two thumbs. Can't wait for our next visit.

    The service at first was great.. but as soon as you turned down the $75 dollar bottle of wine (about $20 in a store) the pompous waiter pretty much ignores you after you place your order. Food is bland and overpriced.

    If you’re looking for a truly Portuguese dining experience you’re absolutely right here. Authentic Portuguese cuisine and a fantastic wine list. We had the ‘bacalhau à lagareiro’ and the grilled octopus, it was delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and did a very respectful service!
