I ordered the sirloin steak with regional sauce and it came with just fries so I ordered a side of sautéed veggies so my body would get some vitamins. The steak had really no flavor in it. Also the fries were limp and not crispy at all and lacked flavor. My side of sautéed veggies was basically boiled veggies with absolutely no flavor. It seems like no restaurants in Portugal serve veggies any other way than boiled which is really strange.

Service was good, ordered the usual local fresh cheese,chef's garlic shrimps, and the grilled limpets. All the appetizers was pretty good, but not the best we've had so far on the island. For the entrees we ordered the traditional tripe, seafood rice and the grilled tuna. The tuna was tender and melted in your mouth, the tripe and seafood rice were bextremely salty. It was just too difficult to eat. Our fingers was swelling up just after a few bites and couldn't get enough water. But the is not a uncommon issue. Any of the "stewed" traditional dishes are super salty in most of the restaurants. I felt like I was a big piece of salted cod after how much salt was ingested from the entrees.

Atmosphere: nice mom and pop atmosphere Waiter: great guy, very helpful and nice, good English Owner (bartender): very nice fella Ordered: Appetizers: Limpet A +++ Fish soup A Cabbage soup B (only because we didn't know it comes with pork) Main dish: Tuna Pauline A (only because really wanted grilled one, but it's is available in the summer only) Risotto B (only because we were blown away by next item, and person who preferred risotto got upset) Trigger Fish A+++ Desserts: Charlotte cake A+++ Bean cake A+++ Drinks: Red sangria A+++ White sangria A (only because red sangria was amazing) Overall this is definitely place to go while you are visiting Azores.

I think this will go down as my most memorable meal during this Portugal trip. Loved everything…read morethat I ate, in a lovely bustling dining room full of life and Portuguese food. Started off with some calamari and Sao Jorge cheese with bread. The calamari wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was tender and fresh and very light. The Sao Jorge cheese may be the best I have had. By the time it gets to the United States it's certainly a HARD cheese, but this was soft and almost spreadable on the bread. Delicious. The menu here is massive. They had about 6 different Portuguese steak options, but I went for the classic with egg and peppers. I do with there were more red peppers on my steak, but I appreciate the hefty amounts of garlic and sauce. The steak itself was cooked perfectly to medium rare and tender. I'm not a big steak girlie but I ate the whole thing in no time. The bottle of wine certainly helped it go down easily. Finished the meal with a chocolate crepe, which I can still taste as I type this. Loved this place and will come back every time I am in Ponta Delgada.

And it was not surprising because at 6.32 pm the restaurant was filling up fast. I had the Chicken, Piri Piri, Basmati Rice, Cardamom and the dish was simple yet delicious. But I can't say it was extraordinary being a highly recommended restaurant for three years in a row. My husband had the Forkbeard Fish, Saffron Tempura, Salad, Cashew and definitely sounded "a must try dish" however the tempura crust wasn't flaky or crispy. The dish didn't catch on. Service was friendly and accommodating.

One thing to note is that their operating hours are not M-F. I've added a picture of their time so just make sure you if you want to eat here, that it's within their hours of operation. Their sangria was very good and not too strong. I ordered the grilled squid with garlic sauce. I posted a picture of it. They gave me alot of squid and even took out the cartilage to make it easier to consume. The taste was good and not too fishy. The food was great and not that expensive either. So glad we decided to come here.

Thus I cannot attest to their full plates. But I can with their smaller ones, and each one is a winner. Every meal in the Azores will be preceded with bread and cheese. O Corisco's was the best we had. Most places do the typical mushy and bland queso fresco that gets old quickly. Here they provided us a plate of hard cheeses and tons of bread, which were so good we didn't leave a crumb on the plate. Their Caldo Verde soup with diced linguica is pretty darn good, as is their small place of fried linguica and mushrooms. The highlight here though is their little lounge area near the big-screen television. It's not just a restaurant, but also a place to chill. Beer is cheap too. What is not to like?

They loved the Bob Marley songs and the service was just as friendly. 1. Cheese fondue dip - 3.8/5. My favorite dish with lots of cheese and bread which came in a bread bowl.
