Grilled sardines were dry & shrimp dish was swimming in oil. Not the best experience.

I found the squid to be rather bland, rubbery & did not taste grilled unfortunately. Not words usually associated with Portuguese cuisine.

I was a regular in the 90s. I returned in September 2024, after 22 years. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. The grilled calamari has nothing to do with what was served in the past. Tasteless slices of seafood. Tasteless. The same happened with the grilled chicken: zero taste. Jano's glorious past is down the toilet today. Bye Jano! Never again.

Really loved this restaurant. Service was quick & great. Price is good & offers big portions. Fries were delicious & chicken was juicy. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the grilled calmari. Other than that everything was great. Will definitely come again!

Walked in here to find a quick place to eat, & I was pleasantly surprised at the fast service & the delicious charcoal grilled chicken platters. I had to come back for more with my family, they all loved it! Great service & great food! Pastel de Nata is the best I ever had
