Barra Santos is a cozy Portuguese restaurant that offers exceptional food and drinks. 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 focuses on Spanish and Portuguese varieties. Desserts are also a highlight, though some guests wish coffee was offered to pair with them. The service is quick, efficient, and unbelievably friendly, creating a cozy and casual European restaurant vibe. While the portions are on the smaller side, the overall experience and ambiance make it well worth a visit. The restaurant is owned by a nice guy, Mike Santos, and it is always super clean. Customers can make reservations or just walk in, and there is a lot of comfortable outdoor seating. The bread is also highly praised, and the ARROZ DE PATO CONFIT DUCK LEG, with BOMBA RICE, SOFRITO, CHORIZO, and DUCK CRACKLINGS are a must-try.
