So many Portuguese restaurants in Fall River... it's hard to know where to go! Well, T A Restaurant is a pretty solid option. Compared to some of the other spots I've been to in town, the ambiance was on the nicer/more modern side. They've got plenty of choices in terms of Meat & Poultry and Seafood. Our waitress was really nice and helped me decide on a dairy-free dish. My friend and I both opted for seafood. I got the Bacalhua a Casa (shredded codfish) and my friend got the Bacalhua Assado (salted cod). To be honest, I found my fish to be a bit overcooked, but I'm not sure if that's just because the fish was shredded. I tried a bite of the salted cod and the cook on that was perfect. The plating is also really nice, so I'd recommend for anyone looking for a bit of a more upscale dining experience.

Food was very good I got the octopus special cheesecake and calamari was all very good. The service was amazing very fast and friendly waiter was a good dude. Ambiance is very pleasant there's a lot of people though. Wait was about 45 mins without reservation so if you don't get one be prepared.

Excellent pork and littlenecks, fantastic fish with lemon and the potatoes were out of this world..!! Calm, relaxing atmosphere but I have to let you know it wasn't them, it was me, I was there for a celebration of life for my Uncle who passed away... so the docked star is my fault, NOT the TA's...?

I have yet to have a bad meal there, I recommend the octopus ?Parking: Limited parking in the immediate area. There is a small lot behind the building ? but otherwise it becomes hit-or-miss, the street parking is mostly meters in the front with limited open spaces on the side street.

Food was great, my only caution is their steak knives suck... All 5 of us had to use out butter knives because the steak knife was so dull... Kind of a funny problem to have with such a delicious steak.... O well, good food for sure!

Excellent Portuguese cuisine served with pride. Not my first time here, as a matter, fact that one of my favourite restaurants in Fall River (which there are many, so that says a lot) I took a family member who was here from out of town during this holiday week. She's not Portuguese has been mixed into our culture for the last 23 years, only visit from New Mexico every couple of years. She commented on how nice the restaurant was, and how she felt the professional waitstaff took a lot of pride in their work and in the restaurant. I totally agree with her, and I always feel like that when I dine here. My aunt has soy and seasoning allergies, so she asked for her T-bone steak (t-bone was a special)to be grilled plain with just salt. The waiter wanted to be sure her allergies were addressed, and if there were any other things he should know about her food allergies, very attentive, and her T-bone steak came out to perfection, just the way the chef grilled it. I had the octopus special, which was absolutely to die for! Octopus was great, and the caramelised onions were cooked to perfection. I had a glass of Portuguese, white wine with my octopus, so good. The Portuguese rolls that they serve are the best! They're not served warm or anything, they're just my favorite roll with the crunchy outside and soft inside. Ambience feels authentic, old New England city vibe with corner window store front and checkered floor tile in the bar area, wood finishes and lanterns, it's charming.

Went out with a group of friends and didn't find the service was that great. I asked for water many times and it never came. Food was good, and drinks were awesome.
Just had dinner and we will definitely be back. The food was amazing, but our service was even better. She was the perfect amount of knowledgeable and attentive. I wish we got her name because she was awesome!

I ordered Portuguese kale soup for an appetizer baked stuffed shrimp and a triple chocolate mousse cake for dessert. All the food was excellent and I would eat here again. The reason why I gave the food 4 stars and not five is only because the baked stuffed shrimp came with 3 shrimp and most places come with 4. The reason I gave the service four stars and not five is because the restaurant was not super busy, and I never received my appetizer after I pointed it out they brought it after my main course and I ended up taking it to go. I felt like because it wasn’t that busy. It should’ve been forgotten. regarding the atmosphere. I noticed that everyone had candles on the table but none of them were lit. I feel like that would’ve helped have a romantic atmosphere, and attention to detail is important. All of these things would not be a reason why I wouldn’t go back. I would definitely go back to this restaurant is it just things that I pointed out and observed. The food was delicious and the waiter was friendly..Vegetarian options: They have fish and seafoodParking: I don’t think it has its own parking lot I know it has parking on the street which has meters if you come after five it’s free and I’m not sure if they validate. I came after four and there’s a small parking lot across the street that the businesses were closed and I parked in there.

I have to give a perfect 10 just from the service alone. Kevin the waiter is the absolute best. I called ahead of time to ask if I can bring my dog in because he just had surgery and he understood and said sure. But since my tiny dog was exhausted we left him in the car and Kevin personally made sure we were sat by the window so we can see our pooch while we ate. The atmosphere is amazing. And OMG!!!! The food was A M A Z I N G!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the octopus. Thank me later. I can’t wait to come back!!
