The Calamari was the worst I ever had, like chewing leader. We sent it back. Operated for the chorizo dish but instead they gave us garlic shrimp that was way too garlicky, and we love garlic. Our main dishes were Portuguese steak and lamb chops. Those were okay, nothing special. The Sangria was good. The place needs updating, the fake flower trees had their day.

The ambiance was very nice. They had a live singer there throughout my dinner. It was a bit noisy, because they had a large party going on of about 10 to 12 people, but that was okay. The service and the food was excellent! I have to remind myself not to get any appetizers anymore, because I couldn't finish my main course! Lol! I'll definitely be back

Service was good. Could barely hear my wife over the live music being played. The food was not very good. Whatever sauce they put on the outside of the lobster ravioli bowl stunk. My wife's chicken was bland. Our stuffed shrimp appetizer was okay. If the chocolate mousse and creme brûlée were not so good the meal might have been a complete waste.
