Great Portuguese restaurant with tasty & fresh food. Overpriced at 100+$ per person for high quality but classic dishes at 1/3 the price in Portugal. Paying for bread? Is it necessary? Service is nice & efficient, but not at level of what is expected for top rated restaurant.View more

A beautiful & stylish Portuguese restaurant! The black cod was absolutely delicious, & the churros melted in my mouth. I also loved the rich taste of the red wine'Dona Maria' .. it was the perfect pairing for me. I'll definitely be coming back!View more

We tagged along with a friend & his wife, who are regulars at this highly acclaimed fine-dining Portuguese eatery. The decor features modern elements & classic Portuguese charm; I was particularly captivated by the stunning ceiling. My friend's wife gave "carte blanche" to the waiter to bring a selection of dishes for us to share, & he brought a few items from the Tapas Quentes: Pasteis de Bacalhau, Sardinhas Assadas, & Lulas Grelhadas. The sommelier paired a privately imported white wine with these tapas, a perfect match. Then, we were served Sela de Borrego along with the catch of the day, accompanied by another bottle of white wine harmoniously paired. Though I'm usually not a fan of white wine, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it, I drank my share & my wife's share. While some nice desserts were offered, I was too satiated to have any. Just before we left, a waitress came with a complimentary Porto. I surely found room for that. The service was top-notch, with multiple servers attending to our table, & the food was phenomenal. The bill was quite steep at the end of the night, but it was one of the most memorable meals we've had in a long time.View more

We had the tasting menu & a bottle of vinho verde. Food was delicious & the restaurant was very accommodating for our family (we dined with our two kids). Everyone was very helpful & friendly. We'd go back again, but with all of that said we felt that the food was not 100% authentic Portuguese (my wife lived in Portugal for many years).View more

Inventive, high-end take on Portuguese food. Beautifully presented. A robust wine list to pair with the scrumptious offerings.View more

Really delicious way to experience Portuguese cuisine. The seafood is fresh & well prepared & the tapas dishes are so creative. Also, one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever seen. & get the Portuguese tart for dessert!View more

I cannot recommend Helena's any more. Truly authentic Portuguese fare but with the sophistication & care of a veteran restaurateur. As a person with Portuguese roots, I was impressed & satisfied. The caldo verde tastes like my grandmothers. It ain't cheap but you do get what you pay for.View more

Friendly staff & great atmosphere. We let the staff choose the dishes & they always bring such great choices. I’ve been here a few times & have always left completely in love with the restaurant. We’ve brought some friends & family & they’re always so impressed by the quality of the food & service. Definitely a great place for Portuguese food!View more

I am never disappointed by Helena.
She runs a tight kitchen that serves up great food which is a combination of traditional Portuguese & some modern touches.
Caldo Verde & Carne de porco a Alentejana were fantastic!

AMAZING! :D I don't normally go to 'higher end' restaurants.. & I didn't pay for this one so i'm unbiased? haha anyhow .. read on…
Gorgeous atmosphere - really cool lighting, & kind of a lit 'mosaic' on the ceiling creates a really cozy & cool vibe
Service - spot on. Water was attentive, explained the various dishes to us, & even kept his cool when a member of my group was condecending - i'm impressed.
Food - mmmmm nomononomnom :) The pan seared scallops were pretty awesome with bacon? on top. Had the steak on top of these tiny little crispy fries.. very tender & delicious meat. Dessert was like a little jar of sorbet very good.. & those little 'flan' like Portuguese pastries. Delicious but wayyyyy too small! the size of a golfball.. I wanna see baseball sized ones next time haha
Overall I was blown away by the level of food & service. I recommended it to a bunch of people since going & will go back myself next time I'm in town!
Obrigado :)
