    Had such a wonderful dinner at Portuguese Tavern last night with my husband. From the minute we walked in, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They start you off with a complimentary salad that was so fresh and delicious, such a nice touch. We ordered the grilled octopus appetizer and it was honestly one of the best we’ve had… perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. For dinner, we had the Chilean sea bass and the porterhouse steak. Both were absolutely outstanding. The sea bass melted in your mouth, and the porterhouse was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Every single thing we ate was excellent. And then dessert… the orange cake with Grand Marnier was AMAZING. Light, moist, and the perfect ending to the meal. The food, the atmosphere, and especially the service made this such a great night out. We would highly recommend Portuguese Tavern and truly cannot wait to go back again soon!
