The essence: A warm inviting atmosphere and interesting Portuguese cuisine options.
The food: While the food was pleasant, it wasn't special.
The experience: The service was slightly glitchy all evening. The acoustics and seating somehow made it hard to hear my wife, but everything said at the neighboring table was clear as a bell.
The summary verdict: I'd have no problem eating here with you if you wanted to give it a try, but I'd probably be a bit more excited to explore other options before coming back.
