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.

First time here, we saw on the restaurant on Open Table and decided to give it a try. We waited by the hostess stand but no one was there. After a few minutes the bartender told us someone would be right there. We were seated and the rest of the dinner was very good. Our waiter was very nice and took our drink order while we decided on apps. The food took a while to arrived but was very good. My only downfall was the Picadinho that I ordered had very fatty and chewy pieces of pork. The rest of the meal was very good and the Sangria was delicious. Would definitely go back but have a different entree.
