| - This place is amazing. You cannot get better atmosphere in the summer.
We revisited, with a couple, an old friend from high school and a sibling. There was no need to worry about the time that would be had by all.
We were warmly welcomed by our server (he recognized us via our reservations) and were instantly treated like family. Before the food even arrived we were making friends with the Portuguese family beside us.
Friday evening the patio was PACKED but they had added a couple more tables and some lovely plant-life.
Group of six, we ordered a full chicken with potatoes (and piri piri), the seafood platter ($65) which on the menu, says it feeds 2. It is enormous. We also ordered (long weekend: wanted to party) FOUR pitchers of beer and TWO pitchers of sangria over the course of the evening. . Extra potatoes, the free bread.
In the end, we were all basically hammered, completely well fed, loving our life, with a phone number for a free stay in Portugal any time we like (not kidding) and covered in Piri Piri sauce. Two and a half hours of catching up on the patio set us back $200 or $40 each once tax and tip was considered.
Completely my go-to when I want to have a great evening in a warm atmosphere with friends, this last visit just elevated to five stars. Love it.
