Service ultra bête. On a mis manteau tellement il faisait froid & lorsqu'on a demandé pour du chauffage, on s'est fait répondre que c'est parce qu'il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde, alors ça restait comme ça. On demande des informations sur les assiettes, un serveur ne savait rien, l'autre répondait comme si on le dérangeait. Nourriture très ordinaire, calmars secs, linguini à peine cuit & durs avec une sauce grasse qui se sépare dans l'assiette, poulet portugais très sec. On n'y retournera assurément pas.
We really enjoyed our food. We ordered the mix of chicken,chorizo,pork quite tasty they all loved it. I ordered which wasn t on the menu stuffed salmon which I read other customers have had it & they loved it so I had to try it,very impressed that the chef made it & I suggested he should put it on the menu to die for, very good & it melted in your mouth, best salmon I ever had so far. We had the best spot in the house the terrace quite cozy. Our waiter was Enzo very friendly & accommodating, fast, he should get a raise. Atmosphere, very nice.
The music was loud but I enjoy loud music, singer was amazing, very good music. Why I gave it 4 stars & not 5 was that the calamari wasn t crispy, but overall 4 stars & enjoyed ourselves.

Les entrées chaudes étaient froide. Pa s de sauce avec les calmars qui étaient d'ailleurs froids.
Assiette de viandes servi dans la plus grande simplicité . Mini morceaux de poulets sans sauce Péri Péri avec la peau même pas croustillante. Mini tranche de porc trop sec & saucisse tiède . Tres déçu .
N'y allez surtout pas . À déconseiller .
First of all it is a BYOB.
Second, Every Friday & Saturday live music & dancing.
Third, Has a great outside terrace.
Fourth,Quality of food is excellent from it's famous calamari to it's Portuguese chicken.Also have many other dishes that are great.
Fifth.They cater to all large & small groups that what to celebrate any & all occasions.
This is a great place to enjoy great food,dance & have a ball.
We went to taste our menu for a party, it was horrible the entrees tasted old nothing fresh at all. I canceled my party reservations . I would not recommend this place to anyone.alsp the owner was snobby didn't even come greet us or ask us how the food was . The floor was slippery, & i think they use the same mop for the kitchen & dining area.
First time there with friends from Italy & have to say we had a wonderful time. They loved the food & happy that they were able to dance , great music. Can't wait to bring another group to this restaurant. Thanks guys for great service.
Bon restaurant & belle terrasse, mais l'expérience avec le gérant est terrible. Nous avons commandé au téléphone afin que le service soit plus rapide. Ça été le cas, toutefois, la facture ne représente pas les prix affichés sur le menu du site internet. Semblerai-t-il que le site n'est pas à jour & les clients doivent en subir les conséquences. 13 clients se sont sentis insultés par la réponse ridicule du gérant & n'y retourneront pas. Pas fort comme gestion...
