| - First of all, I became a fan of the awesomely skilled man who attends all the tables (at least 20). He seemed to be the manager/owner&host of all the place. I admire his energy, good vibe, and kind attention. He treated us like if we were invited to a celebration at his home. He must be one of the most professional people I have had the honor of being attended by in this TO city.
I felted even more lucky when I saw that the grill was managed by a woman that could easily be the wife or relative of that amazing character I described.
Have you seen bees on action? Just perfection and inspiration. I want to be like them, seriously!
The wine came after a chat of the flavors we wanted.
The seafood was not only aphrodisiac, perfectly cooked, fresh, or respectfully balanced; it was crunchy in the shells, and easy to peel out... so they must have a good provider, which seems to be difficult to find in the middle of this City.
The attendance: 90-95% Portuguese, so don't feel weird or attacked if all the eyes turn to you when you get in (they like to pass the scanner repeatedly on ppl, more if they feel you different, but don't take it personal), just hang your coat if winter, breath, and don't imagine they look at you cuz you are famous.
They have some vinhos verdes, but get more adventurous than the classical Aveleda...
Don't hesitate. In between 2 of the classics: cod or meat with the fried egg, I hope you'll enjoy more the cod with those chubby chips I wrote about (I still can't forget them, and Ms Vickie's passed to 2nd place). Those chips are chasing me in dreams, so as the whole half of lobster I enjoyed like if it was going to be the last one I'd ever try (at least in this month or with this gentlemen); It had the brains, coral, and all the things a lot of places remove because some Canadian ppl don't like.
Authentic Portuguese or Spanish places just ask you if you would like your lobster to be cleaned (but watch it, the smell, taste, and knowledge about seafood will tell you that things like the heads of fish, lobsters, shrimps, etc., indicates you if it is about to spoil, spoiled, or just frozen (why you think frozen molluscan in bags at supermarkets have no head?).." If they have the head take it (specially on ppl).
I broke a bottle of empty wine, and the magic character came to clean everything and made me feel relieved of any guilt. I just wanted to make a hole and bury my head there... But for him seemed not to be a big deal, so I just behaved fat, chubby, and waved while smiling saying goodbye (I put extra 10 tip tho). Thanks.
