“So I stumbled on this place and decided to try it because I was starving. I must say the gentleman that helped me had excellent customer service skills, was funny, courteous and helpful, the food came out pretty quickly, the environment and was clean but more importantly the food was great. Definitely would recommend it and would be ordering from here more often. The only thing i would change is having Portuguese rolls instead of sliced bread.“

“Not sure if I should give it 3 or 4 stars because it was good and it’s a really nice restaurant, but for the price … you should not want to eat something after you leave! My husband went to McDonald’s afterwards because he was hungry after spending 300 on dinner. The fact that bread and dessert wasn’t included in that is wild. I never ever finish a meal. I always have food to take home. And I basically licked all three of my plates clean. Nothing to take home. And nothing was really that great either.“

“02.23.24 I was looking for a 'chill spot' conveniently located between work and home. I went on Yelp and this place popped up. I just got off work and I arrived about 10:20pm. This bar/restaurant was still serving food from the entire menu. Andrea made my classic margaritas (5 star). I paired the margaritas with caldo Verde soup (5 star) and clams casino (3 stars). If I get off work early again and I'm not in the mood for typical 'bar food', this is definitely my 'go to' spot.“

They also serve espresso and specialty coffees like Starbucks.“
