| - This is one of those interesting restaurants that has reviews all over the place. Interestingly, I agree with most of the comments from all of the reviewers!
First, the good - we have had some great meals here. Many of the dishes we have tried are really quite good, and representative of authentic Portuguese cuisine. We appreciated the hospitality the wait staff demonstrated, and everyone treated us and our daughter very well. Try the octopus with gorgonzola - not cheap, but WELL worth the price! Anything with cod or seafood is delicious. I am told their steaks are quite good as well, but we have enjoyed the seafood items so much that we haven't ever ordered it!
Of course, there are also some areas for improvement. The comment one reviewer had about the size of their menu and the number of specials offered is as true as can be. It would be really nice if they would rotate dishes in and out of the menu, to offer some variety and reduce confusion. Personally, I like seeing 5-8 appetizers, 6-8 main courses, and 3-4 desserts on a typical menu. It would likely be best to have 3-4 specials in addition to the menu for variety.
Read a little about Portuguese cuisine, and then order accordingly - they are definitely adept at this niche area of cuisine!
More to come as we continue to explore their offerings...
