Barra Santos is a tiny gem of a restaurant that serves exceptional food and drinks with a Portuguese twist. The service is quick, efficient, and unbelievably friendly, creating a cozy and casual European restaurant vibe. The menu features delicious dishes such as crudo, including the popular Tuna Crudo, tomato salad special, branzino, and chicken thighs with a flavorful piri piri sauce. The branzino is particularly praised for its perfect crisp skin, and the potatoes served with aioli are a delightful addition. The wine selection is solid, focusing on Spanish and Portuguese varieties. While the portions are on the smaller side, the overall experience and ambiance make it well worth a visit. Desserts are also a highlight, though some guests wish coffee was offered to pair with them. Be prepared for a possible wait, as they don't take reservations, and it's advisable to eat something beforehand if arriving very hungry.
