The Portuguese Fisherman is a local tavern with a large bar and TV's for sports. The bartenders are professional, and the service is generally good, though recent reviews mention that service can sometimes be slow. The restaurant offers delicious dishes such as the scungilli appetizer and paella, which is highly praised, along with flavorful garlic shrimp and mariscada. The whole roasted salted fish is fresh and served with veggies and Portuguese chips. The portions are generous, and all entrees come with a mixed salad. The red sangria is tasty and not too sweet, and many customers find the food to be fantastic, making it a highly recommended spot. The setting is warm and welcoming, with some areas quieter for conversation, and the staff are attentive and helpful. While not perfect, the restaurant is known for its great food and friendly service.
