Portugal: Land of ExplorersIn the 15th Century, Prince Henry the navigator ordered his explorers to bring back to Portugal any exotic fruits, nuts and plants from the new lands. Tomatoes and potatoes are taken to Europe, Brazilian pineapples were introduced to Azores, Brazilian chili peppers grew in Angola, African coffee was transplanted to Brazil.Today the Portuguese fondness for ingredients like cinnamon or curry powder, is also a legacy of his time. The Romans brought wheat and introduced onion, garlic, olives and grapes. Later the Moors were the first to plant rice and introduced figs, planted groves of lemons, oranges and almond trees. Portugal is a seafaring nation with a well-developed fishing industry trading cod since the 15th century.Today, naturally, Portuguese cuisine varies from region to region , but fresh fish and shellfish are found on virtually every menu.

    Exceptional Italian food with amazing options on the menu. Definitely old-school Northeast Italian experience. Not trying to sound wildly left leaning but the patriarchal condescending older waiter did treat my three female dining partners a little like second class citizens. I don’t think it was intentional, but it definitely left a sour taste, despite the wonderful food.

    This is restaurant never disappoints. My wife and I have dined here on numerous occasions, but this was by far the best. We came early so we had the place virtually to ourselves for the first hour. Our waiter George was outstanding. He was attentive and professional while leaving us alone to enjoy our 25 th anniversary dinner. The food was homemade and delicious and paired perfectly with the Quintessa we brought back from Napa.
