"The food was lackluster. Having visited Portugal before, I can confidently say this didn’t taste authentic. The bread was stale, possibly a day old, and it wasn't served with butter or olive oil. One appetizer arrived, but we waited another twenty minutes for a few more to come out. While the mussels and chorizo were tasty and the Caesar salad was quite good (though not exactly a traditional Portuguese dish), my steak was overcooked—it was supposed to be medium rare but was well done. They simply placed a fried egg on top, and the dish lacked sauce or vegetables. The sides meant for the table were greasy and overcooked, although the fries were excellent.
Throughout our visit, the service was unwelcoming, almost bordering on rude. I'm not sure why that was the case; our group is interracial, but the server didn’t seem particularly friendly to anyone else, either. Additionally, the menu was outdated and didn’t mention that the stuffed fish was filled with pork, which was an issue for our niece, who doesn’t eat pork. The server bluntly stated we still had to pay for it, which was fair but could’ve been handled in a more courteous manner. We ended up paying for it and took it home in a box.
At the end of the meal, three of us (including myself) spent some extra time in the bathroom. We ended up spending $260 for six people, including two bottles of wine, and the overall atmosphere felt tired and unenthusiastic. I really wanted to enjoy this birthday dinner, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant."
