Excellent food and service. We had to wait for our table to be ready, but oddly enough as we waited we were not told why we were waiting. In any case that experience did not take away that the food was very good and our server went above and beyond.

This restaurant was a wonderful adventure, I had never had Portuguese food before. The shrimp appetizer in spicy sauce was full of flavor, and yes spicy. We ordered the fried cod dish with the mashed potatoes that were heavenly, and the seafood was absolutely fresh and tasty. I am a lover of salt, I believe it makes everything taste even better, especially seafood, and felt like the food was slightly underseasoned, but the salt on the table did the trick. Ambience and the service was great, the port wine to finish. The meal was amazing.!
