"It's a quaint corner lot restraunt and bar of the BEST authentic Portuguese food from different meats to seafood cuisine. You can dress casual for lunch/dinner or dine in your best evening attire. Great Portuguese wine selection and servers are knowledgeable of which will be the best to match with your appetizers, entrees or sweet ending. Prices are always fair for the amount on your plates, and desserts are authentic to fulfill your sweet tooth. Monica rules the tables with a flair for each of your course meal. The outside may look small, yet the food is grand! Parking is on street on the side of building or a few spaces reserved for their customers."

"You walk in and immediately want to stay forever. We honored our dearest Avoh here for her celebration of life and the people, service, food and energy were everything to us. The space is cozy and warm. The food beautifully authentic and thoughtfully prepared. The people who work there are generous, hard working and kind. Thank you more than words, you made the experience beautiful and joyful."

"Really enjoyed the food here. The clams were very fresh would highly recommend it. The octopus app was also well done. The tuna was cooked perfectly and also extremely fresh. I got the seafood stew, it had great flavor but the ingredients were mostly long frozen ingredients and you could taste it. Still the broth had a great depth of flavor."

"Hidden gem!! This small hometown restaurant is a local favorite!! The food is absolutely off the hook. Traditional Portuguese cuisine that is spectacular!!! You will find locals always here. The place is small but cozy with generous drinks. Many meals served in the pot they are cooked In. Doesn't get more traditional!"

"First timer who will return again! Arrived on a Friday night around 5:45 or so, was told it would be a 30-minute wait and it was about that, maybe a tad bit longer, so we waited outside on the sidewalk, as there was no space at the bar. But, worth the wait! There may be about 10 four-tops in the dining space and off to the side, a small bar that maybe seats 10-12? We were seated and ordered an appetizer, which was a fresh deli meat and cheese and pickled cauliflower and roasted red pepper--delicious! For dinner I had the seafood stew with potatoes and it was sooooo good. Monica was a friendly, efficient server. My only complaint pertains to my own hyperawareness, for as we dined and enjoyed dessert--capachino and flan--there was a party of four--likely "regulars"--who were seated/standing at the bar and kept scanning the dining room again and again over the course of our hour-and-a-half there, which made me feel as if I were being watched and rushed. As a visitor to the area and someone who has 0% Portuguese in my DNA, that made me feel a tad bit awkward, but that is not at fault of the owner or manager. That experience wouldn't stop me from visiting again!"

- Jessica D.

"Excellent food. The cod fish was made "lagareiro" style. Well served with many vegetables. Also had stewed rabbit. The meat was falling of the bone and it was well balanced with the added flavor of chourico. Worth the trip."
