After a recent trip to Portugal, we were craving some Portuguese food. First we tried the clams in butter garlic and wine sauce, which was amazing in Portugal. Unfortunately this dish here was not good at all. Clams were not fresh and the sauce was not flavorful. The rest of our dishes were decent.Most importantly, after ordering our food food was bright out about 30-40min later, that's when they close to tell us that they were out of one of the dishes we ordered. That is unacceptable. Not the fault of the waitress, she was friendly and symptom the issue.

The food was amazing and our servers were great. The interior was just a bit too dark and felt like it needed a good scrub.

You can have the classic dish of Carne Alentejana ($16.95) at @friendsrestaurantlowell. "Marinated cubed pork with littleneck clams in a zesty white wine sauce, served over cubed potatoes with rice." Or you can have the "A Chefe" version for $21.95 that adds scallops (1 large) and shrimp (3). Not sure if this was worth the extra $5. There were three whole clams, so it wasn't exactly an abundance of them. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and then lightly fried. The pork was tasty and tender. The gravy was fantastic, well seasoned, and really delicious. It was plenty of sauce, and that makes me happy. The white rice was unremarkable and cold.Second photo is Bifes De Porco Amigos ($17.95). "Fried pork steaks, flavored with garlic and white wine. served with fried potatoes and rice." All the other pork dishes said pork loin, so I'm not sure why they called them pork steaks? This was pork loin as well. The rice was warm today, and the potatoes were just lightly fried. Three good-sized slices of tender pork in an excellent sauce. I think this was just about the same sauce that I got with my previous meal. It was coldish outside, and it was coldish inside as well.

Every meal I've had is top notch. Reasonable pricing, nice outdoor area when the weather is good. Service is great, and whoever the chef is kills it.
