My husband and I stopped by here for after dinner drinks and had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. The bartender Juan was knowledgeable and let us try a variety of port and Maideria wines. It was a great experience and we felt like we were in a wine tasting in Portugal. He was very attentive and made the experience phenomenal. The ambiance was also very nice. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone in the area and don’t sleep on the Port wine!
Excellent food, amazing service with flavors which were out of the world! Definitely get the eggplant, shrimp and the olive oil cake. Huge portions and a very nice wine list. One of the nicest meals I’ve had in Boston.
Just celebrated my friend’s 30th birthday this past Saturday. The ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic, I really felt like I was transported to Lisbon. The menu was very creative and thoughtful, they stayed true to Portuguese dishes and drinks. The wine menu featured all wines from specific regions of Portugal. We tried the tasting menu, where dishes were chosen at random for 7 courses! It was very exciting! The best part was our lovely waitress Martha, she was so helpful...read full review

The food is innovative, with dishes like roast cauliflower and spicy eggplant offering new flavors. Prices are lower than expected, making for a fun dinner experience.
