I've been coming to this restaurant for years, but tonight was thoroughly embarrassing food presentation. Ordered the Bacalhau a Gomes Sa and not only was it not traditionally made, but it was thrown together with left over ingredients. Sadly the Portuguese traditional food I used to love so much has fallen short here, time and time again. Apparently it seems they have replaced the Portuguese chef with cheaper labor that aren't even Portuguese!! For those who post on here that the food is good, it is, but most of you have NO IDEA what traditional Portuguese food is because you've never been to Portugal! The staff is always attentive, especially the hostess Lara, but the kitchen needs an overhaul. Hope you guys improve, your regular customers deserve better!!

Food wasn’t terrible. But over priced. On top of that, I went to take the rest of my food home. Whoever packaged my food to go did a TERRIBLE job and now my 80 jacket is ruined along with my pants. I’m covered in sauce and now have to shower and scrub my clothes out and pray the stains come out. I literally still smell like the food that left me drenched in condiments spent on an almost 400$ meal. Will absolutely never return.

I was here 2 weeks ago and things were fantastic. I ordered the cowboy steak and it was great. Came back on Valentines day and what a waste of time and money! I ordered the cowboy again which is not cheap to begin with and I ordered it medium. It came out to me well. I sent it back so they could refire a new one. They brought it to me sliced. I didn't ask for it sliced and my first one wasn't sliced. It was like the cook couldn't figure out how to cook a steak and sliced it to be sure he was cooking it medium which came to me medium rare. The wife was done eating as i just sat there with nothing. The waiter said he was taking off a pitcher of sangria. The manager said he was taking the steak off and I got my bill with the steak still on the bill and 2 pitchers of sangria. We had 3. I say something he takes the bill takes the steak off and adds the other sangria on. How pitiful. I was very nice to the waiter and manager not making a scene or anything. I was very understanding with them but this is not customer service. Just know when they screw up and tell you something they go back on their word and pick your pocket one way or the other. We will not be back cuz this was just too disappointing from the money spent to the time wasted and on Valentines day no less.

The food was amazing - our server was Danny. He was great also. Cannot wait to go back.
This place is so great. Great atmosphere. Wonderful fresh food. There is one particular person that always goes above and beyond. Makes us always come back such a delite . Very polite . His name is Jacob.
We had my husband’s 60th party there last night in the banquet room for 80 people and it was wonderful. So accommodating from start to finish, great food, nicest staff, beautiful room. I highly recommend a large party there. See Tony he is excellent.
This restaurant has always been our favorite place, great food ?????, BUT the service needs to IMPROVE, guys need to KEEP AN EYE on the sitting or waiting customers, DO NOT let them feel unattended, PLEASE!, again, just look around, it’s not a big deal. You could get 5 big stars, if not for that really minor issue.

Menu has a lot of good/different options. Food is pretty good, but to me, not as good as some other local places nearby. Service was not the best, but got the job done. All in all, a good place for a good dinner.
Very great food and great service there are usually these boys that work in the room on the side very calm and cozy. Not much noise no TV's. But there's these two young gentlemen. Alex and Jacob I suppose. Very great service would check in on us and always come up to our table with a smile on there faces. Food was amazing didn't take much time to come out. Overall a great place to come eat. If you can reserve a table in that room you wouldn't regret it !

I've been making this a normal spot at least once a month. Staff is always friendly, quality of food is usually consistent and the restaurant has a comfortable ambiance. Love their porterhouse and skirt steaks. Mashed potatoes and potato chips are delicious!
