Ordered the food after my routine workout. the gentleman at the phone was super nice, also went to pick up & everyone was really welcoming, & the atmosphere looked cozy , however when I open the food to eat at home the chicken outer layer was burned.

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!

Sardines were great. Chips were super soggy & oily. Portions were enormous!

We didn't feel like waiting in line at a neighbouring restaurant, so we picked this restaurant right next door. It was after the lunch rush. As soon as we walked it, an employee loudly complained about it never ending. I found it quite rude & shocking but said nothing in the hopes he wasn't referring to more customers arriving. I did check the restaurant's opening hours online just in case they were closed from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., but it said they were open. I even asked an employee if they were open to be extra sure. I hope we weren't intruding. If we were, they could have just pretended they were closed. The restaurant was almost empty save for a table of customers & 4 employees. An employee seated us right away,... next to a container that was catching water from the dripping air conditioner. An odd choice considering that all the other tables were free. After a few minutes, the employee from the beginning came to take our order. He & 2 other employees brought the entrées, main meal, drinks & dessert. The wait staff checked in & made sure we had everything we needed. The chicken was crispy & perfectly seasoned on the outside & tender & juicy on the inside. It paired perfectly with the soft bread from the table basket. I couldn't get enough of the thick, crispy-&-soft homemade potato chips with skins on the edges (portuguese potatoes). They're addictive. The pastel de nata (egg tart) was rich & flaky, & fresh custard oozed out with every bite. The flan was okay, but we were expecting a fully intact wedge like in the picture, & instead it looked as though someone had taken a big bite out of the tip. The kitchen should consider cutting it in a different shape. The decor, music & nature scenes were calming. I think we just caught the staff on an off moment.

I have to say the food & service were both excellent. The dishes were flavorful & well-prepared, & the staff was attentive & friendly, making for a very enjoyable dining experience. Appetizers are nice size & main dishes are fairly priced. However, one drawback is that the tables are quite close to each other, which can make the space feel a bit cramped. While this didn't overshadow the quality of the food or service, it did make the atmosphere a little less comfortable than I would have liked.

Great food - the grilled chicken was moist & has the best spicy sauce. Also enjoyed the sausage
