This was everything I hoped to find, a restaurant to give me a taste of Portugal. I was travelling alone, so I chose to sit at the bar for my meal. I asked for a recommendation on a Portuguese wine and was not disappointed. There was a lot of choice on the menu. I decided on tuna with pineapple and a garlic aioli sauce. The chocolate mousse dessert may not have been Portuguese, but it was truly the best chocolate mousse I have ever had. I would go back for the dessert alone!

The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food is so delicious and was served in a good portion. I love eat "bitoque" a especial meat... But you can't move on without eat the stuff salmon Portucale!! Have two big parking for the guest, a great area to make some event. And the good deal for the week is a promotion they have for 14,95 and you can eat and drink, including one coffee!!

Loved my experience here. Everything from the food to the service was great. They have an outdoor Patio in the back with a waterfall. For apps. we ordered the octopus in garlic sauce & it was FANTASTIC. For the entree I chose the stuffed Salmon with Crab meat, it was a great portion and cooked to perfection. I will definitely come back again !

I like the bar and the outside hangout spot to have a few drinks by the waterfall. Nice dinning options and drinks. Excellent value I used a GROUPON to go 1st time and try to see what they got and offer.

We had the appetizer platter ($20) with melt in your mouth octopus, shrimp, smoked sausages and potatoes. Very substantial servings! Also had the bacalao ($21) and a glass of wine for only $4.50. I would go back for the octopus over and over!
