   Authentic Portuguese food. Very small restaurant with unique and delicious food and wonderful service. Try the Feijoada, my personal favorite (a Portuguese stew of sausages, pork ribs, etc) or the Caldeirada, a seafood stew. Don't forget to take some pastries home, after all, this is a pastry shop.

   I love Portuguese sausage. The only place I know to get them is Hawaii do I was delighted to have a delicious sandwich on Portuguese sweet bread. The pastries were great too. Are too much. Glad to find this remarkable and adorable space. My partner loved her egg and sausage breakfast sandwich and kids loved the Nutella and banana crepes. Will be back soon!

    Natas used to be good. It recently changed and this last time was the worst experience ever. To summarize, I had an Open Table reservation requesting a table for 4 (where I have always sat with 2 people to be comfortable) in the back where the a/c works and the noise is less as I have a bilateral hearing loss. This was in my instructions. The female server sat us there but came back and said the other male RUDE server insisted the owner’s rules were that both back tables had to be reserved for 6 EVEN if they had no tables reserved. At 11:45 there were a couple of tables filled and it remained that way for over an hour. The male was surly, nasty and not interested in what we had to say. The female server said she was new and didn’t know the rules. She has been there for a bit because she’s waited on me. Orders were taken and 2 crepes and a chopped salad took over a half hour to receive. There were just a few people in the restaurant. The cook and the service were obviously unacceptable. Then the plates just sat on the table. Wanted water refills which we had to ask for and got the water warm because they were out of ice.

    Four of us enjoyed the charm, the food and the most attentive and warm service. This is our third time here and it is always worth of a 40 minute drive. This time we celebrated a dual birthday with a special bottle of wine and found a corkage fee of $15 to be reasonable. A bite of nata pastry was satisfying!

    The restaurant was lovely looking, decorated with Portuguese tiles. The server was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I love when they bring you tastes of different wines to help choose which you would like to drink. And the dessert I chose was a perfect way to end the meal - a delicious Nata , espresso and port.

    The caldeirada was delicious. It’s a seafood stew that had a nice balance of fish, shrimp, and mussels. Of course the natas was also good!

    I have eaten at this restaurant before with good experiences I went with two 93 year old people on a Saturday night, in part because it is small with a lower noise level. We were in the restaurant for over an hour before the appetizer was served - a cheese plate with three types of cheeses, sliced and a few pieces of fruit. How long can it take to put this together? We had ordered this was prosciutto which was omitted and we had to remind the server. Kindly the restaurant "comp'd" us for this dish. I might mention the restaurant was half empty. The entrees were large and served hot. They had run out of several desserts as well. Not sure that I will return.

    It had great waiter service, nice decor, lovely dessert and New york steak was excellent with a very appealing and tantalizing and tasty cognac sauce with mashed potatoes or French fries. Definitely will go back next time with my grandparents for dinner.

    This was a lunch time visit. It is a small, personal restaurant, decorated like other restaurants in Portugal, making liberal use of the famous Portuguese tiles. A limited breakfast menu is offered, but the long list of inventive salads and sandwiches proved irresistible. Their version of a club sandwich may have been the best I have ever had. It comes with kettle potato chips and a salad with an excellent dressing. My only problem was that I had no room left to eat one of their beautiful Portuguese pastries. Maybe next time.

    Food was great- but since we went on Mother's Day, we waiting over 45 minutes for our food. I would think they may expect it to be busy, and probably should have had more help on hand. Also, I had reservations, and had requested indoor seating, but had to sit outside which wasn't the best.

    After an absolutely awful experience at this "restaurant" I contacted the owner through the website and said that I would not write a review. However, since the restaurant never bothered to write me back, I have decided to share my experience with others. I decided to try this neighborhood café on a Friday night. They should be embarrassed for the awful experience they provided. The server, who clearly was inexperienced and did not know the menu, refused to write our order down even though we asked him repeatedly if he understood everything (since he had no knowledge of the menu). This was our experience: 1. We never received any water; 2. We ordered an appetizer that never arrived; 3. When they brought the entrees and we asked about our appetizer, they only thing they said was that "I guess we'll take it off the bill" - no apology, no offer to bring the appetizer, nothing; 4. One main course was supposed to come with a side salad that never arrived; 5. We finished our drinks while waiting for the appetizer that never arrived and were never offered another drink (including not receiving any water); 6. After we received our main course, no one ever came by our table and asked us if everything was alright or if we needed anything. When we complained to the person who appeared to be in charge, she apologized and discounted our bill. She also offered us pastries that had been in the counter case all day and were stale and tasted bad. Thank goodness they only have about 10 tables. A wasted evening. Very disappointing.

    We enjoyed another fine dinner at Nata's featuring great food served with great service. We both ordered the Caldeirada served over rice (seafood stew) and it was delicious. The house white wine complemented our entrees as well. We'll be back soon. Highly recommended.
