    The best Portuguese food on the east coast! The food is incredible, seafood is amazing, atmosphere is fantastic. The staff is a lot of fun and incredibly polite and accommodating. We will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant! Just loved it.

    Extremely disappointed. This used to be a well established favorite, that simply isn’t the same. Maybe the expectation was too high. We started with bottle of wine that was not good; now this does happen but when the second bottle was no better, that’s a problem (especially if it’s Casal Garcia). The Clams casino were disappointing and one of the House namesakes Stuffed Shrimp au Tony De Caneca was served cold and poorly seasoned. This was simply a bad experience overall.

    Went for dinner with friends to a perennial favorite and wasn't disappointed. The suckling pig is tender and the sauce is just spicy enough. The giant prawns are grilled to perfection and served with Portuguese fried potatoes and saffroned rice. I have trouble deciding which I like better. The appetizer section is huge and every choice is a good one. You can't go wrong here no matter what you choose for the main course, even their complimentary soup is good. But when it comes to dessert, unless the flan is available, have a cup of espresso and head for one of the bakeries in town for the lemon tarts.
