    Best "fino" (draft) and picadinho in town! Trust me! Very good local Portuguese Spot!

    Been to this place thousands of time Great staff very friendly. Owner is very nice and always goes around greeting people. Having an outdoor patio is great to watch soccer there. If your a soccer fan this is the place to visit. Food is great and love the Caldo Verde soup they make on the weekends. My kids love this place soooo much that they can't wait for the dessert. And the suckling pig is tremendous as well. Usually sells out fast for the holidays so get your orders in early.

    Primabel que bella. What a find. This place is outstanding everything is delicious. We had appetizers starting with mussels with green sauce, clams with bacon in red sauce, octopus salad & picanha. For dessert flan, & creme brulee. Whaaaaat. Did I say outstanding.

    Ate here with a group co-workers (total of 8 people) after work on a Tuesday evening. It had a casual atmosphere. The food was excellent starting from the appetizers all the way down to the dessert! The calamari and the shrimp during the appetizer was on point. The sauce on the shrimp was great dipping for the bread. For the Entree the seafood pasta was fresh and a generous serving portion for 5-6 people alone in 1 serving. We also had the picadinho, which was my favorite- excellent... not too greasy! And had a good portion of salad with steak. Then we each had a serving of different desserts that we shared- flan, chocolate mousse, tiramisu, cheesecake, and some pudding. All were delicious but my favorite were the flan and chocolate mousse. As for the drinks, we had a 2 pitchers of the red sangria and my friends had their beer from tap from their little waterfall grotto... it was so cool! We were all seated in the patio at the back of the restaurant which had a great breeze from outside on a nice summer temperature... our day happened to be rainy which was relaxing to see and hear from where we were seated. All in all the service was prompt and excellent from our waitress Rose. The owner happen to be in there during our visit and was very friendly and accomodating. And if you're in doubt just for the parking alone, there's a private parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Would reccomend this place and would come back again with family and friends!

    It's one of my favorite local Bar Restaurants in the Ironbound. Cold beer and great food.

Spacious inside and the food is good CONS: No parking; which means you have to get a paid parking lot spot or test your luck with the street OVERALL: I highly recommend coming here next time you're attending a game. Doesn't make sense to go without the game, due to the parking issue, but if you're already there than just head on it

The pizza was so so. The wings arrived ice cold. Service: atrocious. The server was confused from the beginning. It took over 15 minutes for a server to come to us and we had to ask. This is because other tables around us were getting drinks. Another 15 minutes and we wave him down, and he proceeds to ask "what can I get you?" He seriously forgot he even took our order.10 more minutes my husband's drink comes but not my glass of wine. 10 more minutes the server brings the wine. The food was more of the same . He brought the pizza and twenty minutes later (after we saw him and asked) he brought the ice cold wings. Never once an apology. Never asked can I get you anything else. I wish I had looked at reviews before going there. If you go on their website there are numerous complaints similar and worse than mine .

There was no way for me to make a reservation online so I took my chance. I was there with two other people and we were lucky to get enough to get there when we did. The place started to get packed quickly. We got a table on the top floor (there is a bottom floor). Our waitress/bartender CiCi was great. She was busy but still attentive. We got Louie Char Grilled Oysters, thai chili wings Catfish nuggets, fries and burger with fries. For drinks, we got blueberry lemon drop martini and margaritas. Both drinks were tad a bit too tart and not strong enough. Our food was delicious. Though I wish the fries were shoestrings fries and it they had a parmesean truffle option. Great place to listen to music, have some good food and drinks before a concert at the Prudential Center

If you want a martini be very exact as to how you want it. My friend's first version was weirdly sweet with triple sec added. The bartender claimed that was how it was made at their bar.

    I've been to this bar 3 times. Once when it just opened and twice within the last month or so. The…read morelast two times were not good experiences. Most recently was last night and that was my last straw. The music was incredibly and unnecessarily loud which they knew because they told us they'd turn it down before we got the chance to ask. Next, there was one waitress on the floor, clearly overwhelmed. Told us she would be back with water but came back almost 20 mins later. We ordered our wine when she came back because who knows how long it would take to receive it. Another 20 mins, maybe more. We watched her seat several groups and I literally had to scream across the room to get her attention and to remind her of the bottle we ordered, which she had the nerve to appear annoyed about. We asked her if we could move from our tables to a nearby couch which she said yes. Before we had a the chance to finish the bottle the GM comes over and tells us to move our seats and that he would take care of us (NEVER DID NOR DID HE CHECK IN). This is the same GM who asked me to give the place another try after the last issues we encountered where they screwed up our checks due their own carelessness. I should've raised more of an issue and questioned him more. But nevertheless we move to these two musty smelling seats. At that point we left and decided that would be the absolute last time. Go at your own risk!

    I was pleasantly surprised!…read more What a cool spot! Located not far from Prudential Center.. came here for Wednesday night karaoke. Found street parking with no meter which was great. Smaller spot, but you don't feel like you're on top of each other. It reminded me of a Village kinda spot.. very dark interior... but a whole vibe. Bathrooms were really clean.. nice bar in the back of the space. The only reason I will give it 4 is because even though the drinks were reasonably priced, the bartender wasn't making the best drinks... you could barely tell that there was any alcohol in them.. I had to order an extra shot just to make it taste good. I think she needed some help because she seemed sorta flustered in taking care of everyone. I would definitely return!! Especially for karaoke!
