From the moment you enter, tones of old world yellows, stone fireplaces, wrought iron cellar gates and sconces, soft candlelight, coves with upholstered sofa seating and friendly staff, it's an undeniable inviting space, nothing short of extraordinary. Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.The cuisine truly upholds the name of Fine Portuguese/Spanish Dining, seafood and fish, organic meats, the freshest ingredients and to maintain the tradition, huge portions are to be expected. The menu is seasonal and in addition to a varied selection of delectable dishes to satisfy any palette, daily specials are always featured.

    Service was great! Fast, friendly, upbeat, and attentive! The food was amazing! We had 3 appetizers (Beef Samosas, Firecracker Shrimp, and Sweet Chili Wings), and all had the Rasta Pasta with Shrimp as our entree. All so yummy! The drinks were really good as well! The place offers Hookah for $45 dollars, which was good too! Will definitely be going again for another girl’s night!
