  • É uma casa portuguesa, com certeza! É, com certeza, uma casa portuguesa! Famous lyrics from a famous fado, sung by the incomparable Amalia Rodrigues. The song is a tribute to Portuguese tradition, something I look for in a Portuguese eatery. At first sight, I'm almost convinced I'll be reliving my childhood filled with delicious flavors from the homeland. Sadly, Bairrada left me wanting more. The whole family is here and it's really nice out back on the patio. It's spacious, simple, and reminds me of being a kid again, mostly because my nieces and nephews love the waterfall feature and the ability to run freely. The crowd is eclectic and that makes sense since Bairrada is no frills and no attitude. You can't go wrong with a refreshing bottle of vinho verde, and there's a pretty good selection here. The food on the other hand, makes me sad. I'm not sad because it's bad, the portions are huge and relatively tasty. I'm sad because the food lacks passion. I have fond memories of my mother and her amazing Portuguese shrimp, simmered in a reduction of beer and lemon, and loaded with flavor. Bairrada's shrimp is boring and far too loaded with beer, giving it an acrid and slightly bitter taste on the palette. My Grouper is MIA and while everyone else is enjoying their main course, I'm flagging down our server to find out what happened to my meal. "Oh, I'm sorry! It's coming, give me two minutes." Twenty minutes later, and my grouper arrives; obviously they missed my order. Meh. It's all a very bland affair. They don't take debit here and I'm directed to the ATM machine at the front door. It doesn't work and the waitress doesn't seem to care and redirects me to the sleazy bar across the street. There's nothing more that I love than leaving the party waiting while I figure out how to pay for dinner. Bairrada: please invest in a portable debit machine. You seem to be doing well, and if you raise the bar on your food, you'll do better and the additional revenue will cover the cost of your merchant fees. My advice to you from a Portuguese born and raised guy: this is not the place to go to if you're looking for polished Portuguese food. I've had much better at a local churrasqueira buffet.
