My family & I had an incredible experience at Helena. The Portuguese food was amongst the best we've ever had! Elevated yet true to the traditional preparation & flavors. We loved the Caldo Verde, the Bacalhau a Gomes-sa & petiscos were all fantastic. One thing we've never had before was the choriço butter - amazing!

Well done. & a special thank you to Sara O for the service & recommendations.

Here is my review about this place

1- Decoration 10/10 very nice place with space & modern with a touch of Portuguese vibe.

2- Ambiance 9/10 very nice ambiance not to loud.. good for party of 4 or 6 of for a romantic date. I don't think it's ideal for big party birthday more intimate.

3- food 10/10 very good food & taste. If your a fan of Portuguese this is the place to go. Mediterranean food & healthy.

4- Service 9/10 the service was very goid all of them knew there menu , the only thing is it was a bit confusing wich was our waiter/waitress.

5- cleanest 10/10 now this place was spotless even the restroom was clean & had scoop to rinse your mouth if you wanted.

I definitely recommend coming here 👌

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!
