Nous y avons été pour notre souper de St Valentin 💕. Le restaurant proposait une table d'hôte avec un excellent menu qui offrait des options avec caviar, champagne & huitres. Tout était excellent, j'ai pris le black cod & mon chéri l'assiette de fruits de mer (il a trouvé que son plat pourrait etre plus chaud). J'ai pris un mocktail fait sur mesure qui etait vraiment bon & avons terminé le repas avec du porto. Service 💯 shout out special à Roberto & Amina. Mous y reviendrons sans aucun dout.
Every was perfect from the food to the service!! Impeccable!! But the ladies bathroom has a leaking faucet too short to reach the inside of the sink! Leaking all over & my pants getting wet!! Not so cool. Please change the faucet so that it runs in the middle of the lovely sink you have. It's not expensive to do that & a much better looking for your beautiful restaurant!! I can see a lot of thought & effort has been put into this lovely space. Except this has been overlooked

Tres bon restaurant 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼love their food, service & the atmosphere inside the restaurant. Everybody was enjoying the place & food. I can see the manager managed the restaurant so well. All the staff are so professional. About the food which was c'est magnifique 👍🏼👍🏼🥰Love this restaurant💖
Went here for a birthday dinner. It was my pick because I love Portuguese food & often make some of the dishes at home.
The food & service were outstanding. It is tapas style so we ordered several dishes to share, wine, & dessert. Every dish came out so well plated, down to the smallest detail. The octopus was pure perfection & the port wine tasting on the dessert menu is not to be missed. The caldo verde soup is one of my favoritea to make at home & did not disappoint.
The interior was authentic Portugal & interesting. The service was so well timed that it felt choreographed. I can't wait to come back.
Nous sommes allés pour l'anniversaire de ma mère & avions pris le menu dégustation des fruits de mer. La nourriture était incroyable (surtout la pieuvre). On était tous rempli à la fin de la soirée. Toutefois, je dirais que le highlight de la soirée était l'attention/bienveillance du staff. Tout le monde était extrêmement poli & attentif envers ma mère & du coup, elle a adoré son expérience. Je recommande l'endroit à tous

I honestly didn't expect this to be as good as it was but I can't recommend this place enough, the food is flavourful & fresh & the service is amazing!
Came here with a group of 7 coworkers. Got the tasting menu with wine, port wine, ice wine. Tried the cheese plate & honey. Everything was amazing. Stayed there from 6:30-11
