Service was amazing! Portions were extraordinary! Price was right on point. Party of 8. They took us at 8, they close at 9. We left at 10. They did not force us out, they allowed us enough time. Enjoy this beautiful Portuguese food. You won’t regret it. Thank you Victoria for a pleasant experience.

The trip is long but worth it. We tend to stop by when we go down to Newport or coming back up. My mother loves the Bacalhau na Braza and I love the Galinha com Cogumelos. Kale soup is also very delicious. The portions are generous. Thank you so much!

We went for a quick lunch. The cod fish cakes appetizer was very good. My husband had a bifana sandwich with round fries. He enjoyed the flavor. I had a steak sandwich with peppers and onions and fries. Everything was good. I appreciate that the meat was seasoned well.

People raved about this restaurant, so I was excited to order the “Chicken Antonio and Shrimp.” The menu description said the dish came with Mozambique sauce and fried potatoes.

The restaurant name is in the dish. That must be good, right?

Nope.

When the plate arrived, the fried potatoes were potato chips… and they covered the entire meal. See picture.

For my first time at a restaurant that people raved, I was disappointed. Next time, I’ll get salmon or beef or something with veggies.

Date night with my bride.
Her kale soup was really a white bean soup with 2 small pieces of kale. Tasted exactly like white bean, definitely not Portuguese.
Clam chowder was Smokey with hardly any clams or clam flavor.
She had quahogs and shrimp……..Full of garlic…… still smelling it.
I ordered fish and scallops. Way way overcooked. Sent back and ordered just a serving of calamari. It came out after she had finished her dinner and it was rubbery.
Over cooked. Chef had fired it twice because his first cook was overdone and didn’t want it to leave the kitchen.
We were looking for a good dinner together but didn’t find it here.

Ok. We had a great family (4 couples) dinner last night. Speaking just for me… very enjoyable. The new owners have kept everything pretty much the same, with one GLARING exception….the Portuguese round fried potatoes that my wife and I used to enjoy so much are now essentially thin potatoes chips. They were ok but definitely not as good as the old thicker cut ones. One member of our party told the waitress to tell the owners “if I wanted potato chips, I’d have asked for a bag of Lay’s!” I suggested that they at least offer a thicker cut option.

At any rate, food and service were great. Those who had cocktails and wine seemed to enjoy, and since we were really there to enjoy a meal and visit with family members I refused to let the “inferior” fried potatoes spoil my night…..still, I used to really enjoy those old thicker cut ones!

Good quality food with generous portions. The Filetes a Portuguesa is outstanding. The roasted potatoes are a perfect side with any meal. The green beans were very fresh and tasty. We got take out and the food stayed hot for our entire meal.

Great food, I’d never had Portuguese anything before. Staff was fantastic reminded me of my grandmother. I’d go with their suggestions and branch out more than I did. Got surf and turf, which again great. But I’m regretting not trying some more of the fish. The cod bites? Puffs? Appetizer is wonderful. Get two to four of them one isn’t enough. Oh Mozambique sauce is great on everything. Buddy of mine had some kind of pppork roll and I was ready to fight him for it.

Taken here by a regular who insisted it was one of the best restaurants in NB and had been coming here for decades. Busy night, but seated right away. Waited about 15 minutes before a very seasoned and sassy waitress finally took a drink order. Ordered a Sam Oktoberfest on draft. That was a mistake. Smelled and tasted like the buttery sourness of a dirty draft line first-pour. Would’ve sent it back, but the waitress was again gone for another 15 minutes and by then just ordered food and an easy mixed cocktail.

Fried seafood appetizers were great. Calamari and cod cakes. Fantastic. Littlenecks in a great garlicky broth were also wonderful. Ordered halibut with shrimp and scallops on special. Was excited as halibut isn’t seen much these days on menus. Shrimp and scallops were great. The halibut was very over-cooked and leathery. Huge disappointment. “Round l-fries” are just potato chips. Should’ve had the mashed. Two swordfish orders at the table said the same of their fish. Maybe try a lunch sandwich here if nowhere else to go, but sticking with bottled beer and no grilled/baked fish.
