We have ordered here many times & in March we had ordered & it was not the same as we remembered…having written a review Paolo the owner was kind enough to reach out & we spoke about the problem & offered another meal well today we ordered & it was absolutely delicious! From the chicken to the salad & fries everything was spot on & how we remembered it. So bravo on customer service & definitely always going to your jarry location!

Je suis allé chercher quelques plats, dont une entrée de pieuvre à $18,95.dans le plat, il y'avait un seul morceau de pieuvre & un petit amas de salade. C'est trop cher payé pour ça
De plus, les morceaux de poulet dans notre demi poulet était calciné. Je suis déçu cette fois-ci car habituellement, on se régale

Great restaurant for dine in or take out. Their chicken is great, of course, but don't overlook their excellent seafood!
I had the grilled sardine appetizer & the grilled calamari appetizer & they both came with a generous & tasty salad. This place is definitely worth more than one visit!

Was there a couple of weeks ago & ordered 1/2 a chicken & a plate of calamares. Chicken was very good, the fries were exceptional, the sauce was top notch. would've wanted cole slaw instead of a normal salad. Cole slaw & BBQ chicken, always goes well together . Calamares was ok, found that the batter was to thick. A lighter batter would've been better. Portions are very generous. Will definitely go back for the chicken.

Succulent poulet portugais! Assiettes généreuses & bon choix d'accompagnements. Coup de coeur pour la salade: laitue fraîche & vinaigrette savoureuse! Délicieuses "pasteis de nata". Accueil chaleureux & service attentionné, bref une bonne adresse!

Dine in. Got the 1/4 chicken thigh plate. Everything was delicious. The salad was fresh, the fries were cooked to order, the chicken was juicy & the rice was cooked well. Service was polite & the place was clean.

Yes ils sont réouvert depuis 1 mois , C'est toujours super bon, le poulet est excellent parfaitement assaisonné. La cuisson est parfaite. Quand on prend 1/4 poitrine il y a comme accompagnement 3 choix donc les portions sont très généreuses & on a de la difficulté à finir notre assiette. Sur la photo j'ai pris le corps poitrine avec riz, frite & salade. J'ai pris un extra sauce portugaise & elle est comme toujours super bonne.
