I ordered the Bacalhau Na Brasa. I have eaten quite a few meals here and this was the worst piece of fish I ever had in my entire life. Cod? who can trash a piece of cod and make it inedible? Well they did. The cod in this dish had the thickest skin left on it. The skin was so thick that the fish was mushy and had a funny taste on the skin side. The flip side of the fish was cooked to the extent it tasted like shoe leather. I could not chew it. Besides this fish tasting like tasteless leather, It had "3 inch bones running through the middle" of the fillet!!! For $25 I could have ordered 5 Filet of Fish sandwiches at McDonalds and probably enjoyed them. The worst part besides "almost choking on the bones" this platter was served with no rice but a handful of assorted vegetables with no flavor. So I petty much ate nothing. It's too bad because I enjoyed previous meals here. The fact that they served this garbage for $25 is insulting. How can a cook think that was a quality meal? Was the person who cooked that Cod proud? As I'm writing this I still feel like I'm going to vomit. I will never come here again and I strongly suggest staying far away from any dish with Cod in it.

Nice little Portuguese themed restaurant. Friendly staff. Nice selection on the menu with some unexpected combinations that give a little twist on the expected. I had the Cod which I thoroughly enjoyed and the desert too. Try the sangria, a nice blend of wine with fruit unlike any sangria I had before.

Delicious food. Consistently good: BBQ chicken and the other grilled meats, Fries are good. Salad is good. No longer as good: beans used to be really good. They changed recipe or something because thr last time we had them they tasted very fatty, like lard. And there wasn't the same brown garlicky sauce we used to love. Also the kale soup, caldo verde - was too greasy the one time we had it. Not sure if this is typical. Ok prices.
