Our waitress was so serious & didn't even introduce herself. Very unpleasant experience. My drink was very sweet, I guess you can't get both be sweet. After paying for my bill I asked our waitress is this their style in this place to be very serious & she blamed her eyes & sun… please teach your staff to be nice to your customers!

We had a fantastic night at Helena. The appetizers were incredibly generous & delicious, even better than my main course. The lively ambiance, despite being a bit loud, made for a great Thursday night experience. The friendly service added to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend Helena!

Outstanding experience ! Felt like I was back in Portugal. The fish were fresh (Seabass) & the starters were absolutely delicious (Grilled octopus & Asparagus salad)
They have a great wine selection & the staff was very kind & professional.

Obrigado !
