Da Gama Canteen is excellent. Full cocktail program, great Indian fusion food, and even early morning coffee. Great place to stop by anytime of day! Bonus points for the Texas Pecan in their espresso martini!
August 2025
Went there for restaurant week and it was really a culmination of two different cuisines Portuguese which is primarily seafood based with some potatoes and other issues and also Indian. For example, we have muscles and traditionally they are in white wine but this was in a curry sauce which was great. The wait staff was great. Very accommodating. Food was good on time. Prepared seasoned definitely recommend them.

The food was okay, each dish we had good have been made better. The cocktails were okay as well, the saffron gin and tonic was very strong, had to order an additional glass of tonic to finish it. Service was attentive but the servers didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu.
