A very nice decor restaurant, the ?? Lisboeta taste so good. I liked the portion of their dishes, not too big for one person, and not too shy if sharing between two.In general the cooking is fine, the vegetables, sauteed kind of impressive, full of flavors, cooked perfectly. The beef tongue in tomato sauce a little disappointed, beef tongue cooked fine, but tomato sauce kind of tasteless.Overall, enjoyed lunch, and surely will go back some other time.

The roasted octopus remains my favorite but every dish is good, the only issue is choosing which ones to order.Parking: There is parking behind the restaurant, the access is thru a narrow gates path on the left hand of the restaurant entrance.

Fantastic Portuguese food can finally be yours — merely for the price of a flight to Portugal

Delicious food and wine. They feature a lot of seafood which I love. The most memorable was probably the tuna rolled in avocado and different varieties of bread.

Delicious. The owners are amazing! They are from Portugal and turned the American dream into delicacies!Wheelchair accessibility: Parking all around and doorway and bathrooms are more than enough space.

Urgently get in by NYE 2023, or you will miss your chance at sublime Portuguese cuisine in an hours long experience. A superlative wine list from a sommelier who actually spent time in Portugal will open your mind to surprising wines that compliment each course. Highly recommend doing the wine pairing and seven course tasting meal. You can do the full menu with meat or choose a pescatarian or vegetarian menu, and all were tasted by our table with rave reviews. Multiple servers assist you throughout the meal. Also, pre-order a box of pastel de nata, as these are the best we've had outside of Portugal.Parking: Through a narrow alley behind the restaurant.

This was supposed to be our best and nicest meal of the trip, so there was a bit of hype before going to it. The interior has a nice and inviting feel to it. The meal started out well with the cheesy bread and Jamon (ordered on the side). The service was friendly but not as attentive as I would like it as we had to fill our own waters a few times. Halfway through our meal, the food got more salty to a point where none of us could finish the entree. It was a nice gesture that our server tried to fix the dish and bring it another one for us, but it was more like watering down the broth. We were told that traditionally, the dishes are on the salty side (I normally eat salty foods, but this was very salty). We ended the meal with a few dessert items, with the egg tart being really good. Overall, I expected this experience to be better, but it was good that our group got to hang out together.

This was one of the best experiences I have had in a while. I loved the food, the presentation, the service and ambianceI had gone there for my birthday celebration and they gave us an extra dessert with champagne and a birthday card signed by all the restaurant employees including the chefs … it was so touching. Overall lovely place.I will highly recommend it. Do try out before they close down for good .

I'd give it a solid B. Overall, given the price tag, food was okay. I think for $450 id expect more better taste and flavors. Most of the dishes were bland/non memorable except the OVO (more on that in a second). All the proteins were bland, shrimp gazpacho bland, pork (in the rice dish) was too chewy and not juicy at all. Duck itself was bland (the sauce was flavorful but overall dish was ok). The desert (lemon egg tart type dish) however carried. Unique, great notes, flavor profiles, textures. So that was the only A. They didn't have the wine by glass that I'd selected either. Service was not bad (our server was sweet). But what I didn't appreciate was the tip was preset to 22% and - I thought there'd be a separate page for tip - and basically I'd get to input my own. But I guess in a rush, I just ok and there I was giving a $75 tip. Not saying that I'd tip less or more, just I'm not a fan of this "tipflation, tip entitlement" type establishments. Anyway, all in all, I support local business establishments and I'd want these guys to continue staying in business so that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. But I do feel they could either add more flavor/texture (almost like a fun spunk!) to their food to do justice to Portuguese culture OR lower their prices.

Such a great dining experience! Every course was meticulously prepared. We did the wine pairing as well.
