We were here to check on a show that was playing in their back room. We got here early though and met up with friends, so we could enjoy the wine a bit and check it out. It really is a great spot. There was a good size crowd for a Thursday. We tried a couple wines, both were solid. the bartender was nice and the ambiance of the place was very welcoming. When it was about showtime we went in the back. Its a kooky room with a really high ceiling and accustic improving wall appliances. The show was fun; a DJ, a fella on bongos, and a gal came out and played cello to a couple songs too. Very glad we took a chance on driving down for this eclectic show. Harrison has alot of good spots that come and go, I hope this one sticks.

It's tucked away in the inner corner of a strip mall, but it is very popular and you better have reservations on weekends. Our Server, Daniil, did an outstanding job with recommendations, hospitality, and professionalism. I ordered all appetizers and they were great choices: Roasted Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, and Grilled Artichokes were delicious. Each were nicely presented and going between all three provided different pleasant textures and freshness with every bite. The next selection was the Grilled Branzino. A piece of Branzino that was delectable, didn't require a knife, and the added diced tomatoes and cauliflower just made this dish memorable. The final item was the Penne Pasta. Al dente, had the perfect amount of tomatoes and cheese, and the portion was large. We finished the meal with scoops of vanilla gelato and it was the perfect cap to a delightful meal at a recommended restaurant.

My wife and I dine here regularly, and every visit feels like coming home. The genuine hospitality and personal attention from the staff are what keep us coming back time and time again. The food is consistently outstanding. Whether we're trying a new dish or ordering one of our favorites, every meal is prepared with care, quality ingredients, and incredible attention to detail. You can tell there is a passion for great food behind everything that comes out of the kitchen. The bar program deserves special recognition as well. The bartenders work with fresh ingredients and premium spirits, and you can taste the difference immediately. Every cocktail is balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted rather than simply poured. It's clear they take as much pride in the drinks as the kitchen does in the food. The service team is equally impressive. The waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and accommodating without ever making you feel rushed. They genuinely want you to enjoy your experience and go out of their way to make every visit memorable. The atmosphere is another reason this place stands out. The music is always perfectly curated, creating the ideal backdrop for an intimate dinner, date night, or evening out with friends. It strikes that rare balance of being lively and energetic while still allowing for conversation. What truly separates this restaurant from others is the sense of community. It's one of the few places where you're greeted with a hug when you arrive and often another when you leave. That level of warmth and authenticity simply can't be manufactured. If you're anywhere near South Florida, it's absolutely worth making the trip to Hollywood for an unforgettable dining experience. And whatever you do, don't leave without ordering the focaccia bread. It may sound simple, but it's one of the stars of the menu--fresh, flavorful, perfectly prepared, and the ideal way to start an exceptional meal. This is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where great food, great people, and great memories come together.

We were seated quickly on a Monday night, but the restaurant filled up throughout our meal. Not cheap, we came to celebrate a special occasion. We started with the fried squash blossoms, which were hot and crispy. The pasta in the spicy rigatoni (not very spicy at all) was cooked perfectly. The lobster pasta felt a little light on lobster, but was otherwise a good dish. We ended with the espresso crème brûlée, which was a hit!

While it is located in a shopping plaza, the restaurant's warm and inviting ambiance makes it easy to forget the surroundings and settle into a relaxed meal. Service was attentive throughout the evening, with staff providing helpful recommendations and ensuring a smooth dining experience. The wine list featuring a selection of Portuguese wines that pair beautifully with the menu. We started with the Bolinhos de Bacalhau and Polvo Grelhado, both excellent choices. The codfish cakes were crisp and flavorful, while the grilled octopus was tender and perfectly prepared. The fresh bread service was a welcome addition and a great way to begin the meal. For the main course, we enjoyed the Paelha Marinheira and the Parrilhada de Marisco. Both seafood dishes were outstanding, showcasing fresh ingredients and rich flavors. Dessert was equally enjoyable. The Pasteis de Nata offered the classic creamy custard and flaky pastry combination that Portugal is known for, while the Pêras ao Vinho do Porto provided a refined and delicious finish to the meal.

We had reservations and were seated immediately. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. They have a tree in the middle that gives it an outdoor open feel. And an incredible wine display in the back. Our waitress, from Portugal, did a great job of explaining the menu to us and guiding us on what to order. We started off with the Bolinhos de Bacalhau which are cod fritters and OMG they were sooo good! These tasted identical to the ones we've eaten in Lisbon. It comes with the classic pairing of black eyed peas which are awesome when eaten together. We also tried the Chouriço Assado which the presentation when its brought to the table is a treat itself. It comes out on a flaming pig and then its sliced tableside. Our waitress recommended trying the chorizo with the piri piri sauce which is slightly spicy and it was delicious. It added another layer of flavor. For entree we got the Paelha Marinheira which was absolutely amazing. First off, its a huge portion and comes piping hot. Each bite was full of seafood. We added the lobster which was perfection. It's great to share between 2 people. For dessert we ended with the pasteis de nata and its great because it brings 2 pastries and we paired it with ice cream. It makes for the perfect sweet treat without being too much. The pasteis de nata is served slightly warm and is perfect with the cool ice cream. Overall great restaurant for some Portuguese cuisine.

It is inspired in the amalfi coast because of all the lemons and fresh flavors. We came during the week as it is only open for dinner and didn't want to deal with the weekend crazies. We tried their spritz lemonica (prosecco, limoncello and soda) and their lemonica martini (vodka, limoncello and orange liqueur). Both were delicious and the martini was creamy which was surprising. The server brought a complimentary small plate of baked (?) pizza dough in the shape of triangles to start. We ordered their cheese board which came with a tiny pitcher of honey and blueberries and almonds. 4 or 5 different cheeses: Parmesan, a smoky one that was good, Brie and two others I can't remember. For main dishes we tried the rigatoni allá vodka and two meatballs and the pasta alla carbonara with chicken. Pasta was fresh and everything was good. Carbonara could have used a little bit of salt but that's neither here nor there. Unfortunately we didn't try their desserts or pizzas so we will be going back for that. Street parking is available, just plan ahead. Specially on weekends.
