Chicken is tender yet charcoaled. Staff is adorable. Always good house wine. The vibe is lit what else do you want to go to Portugal? Fine go but I'll go the Chez Doval instead xoxoox

Great little restaurant with all the Portuguese food you would like to have. I had fantastic lamb chops. Service was very friendly. Nice wine suggestion (from Portugal). With a free Porto shot at the end, what more can you ask for?

Always impresses me when a restaurant has stood the test of time. This establishment has been here for what I understand to be close to 50 years. My first visit was almost 40 years ago! This 3rd ownership group continues the fine tradition, & has been doing so for well over 20 years. The grilled spicy chicken is sublime, served with house fries & tangy mixed salad. We started it all off with grilled calamari & octopus. Compliment it with some white wine, espresso with natas, & you can't go wrong. Desfrute de sua refeiçao!

Sardines & octopus are absolutely amazing! The chicken is also very good! Personally, this is the best Portuguese restaurant in town. The waiter Avelino consistently goes above & beyond to provide top-notch service, & the two very friendly owners make you feel like you're part of the family. The cozy ambiance & authentic Portuguese decor transport you right to Portugal. The extensive wine selection perfectly complements the delicious dishes. Keep up the excellent work, guys. You've created a true culinary gem!
