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

Ieri sera 4 agosto 2024...Esperienza fantastica! Dovevamo andare alla serata di Tango prevista per le 19h ed invece, abbiamo preferito deliziarci e passare più tempo con la fantastica cena e compagnia di Nelson. Wow!!!! Che serata preziosa, è stata fantastica la energia che si è sentita lì nel piccolo ristorante con le portate davvero ottime. Grazie Nelson, certamente torneremo ed è altrettanto certo che ti raccomanderò ovunque e a chiunque. Ti auguro con tutto il cuore di continuare questa fantastica esperienza sulla terra e non smettere mai di arricchire i tuoi commensali con la tua professionalità e passione.

C'était mon resto préféré avant :-( J'y suis allée hier. Le service était pourri. Le personnel non souriant. Le vin blanc chaud & pour couronner le tout, le gars qui nettoyait la table a échappé l'huile piquante sur & dans ma sacoche en cuir Rudsak & ce sans même s'excuser. Un peu plus tard, forcé par ses supérieurs, il est venu s'excuser sans réel sincérité. Le propriétaire qui était sur place aurait pu, ça coûte rien, venir s'excuser aussi au nom de la maison. C'est quand même un souper à près de 200 $ & une sacoche Rudsak, de plusieurs centaines de dollars, scrap 🥹

Payer un extra de 4.00$ pour avoir des olives portugaise en entrée quand c'est gratuit dans les autres resto portugais que je connais, c'est vraiment cheap dans le mauvais sens. On peut manger portugais pour moins cher ailleurs & avec un service plus souriant!
