The have a pretty extensive drink menu with beers, wines, and cocktails. My only regret is not trying their port tonic! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting if they want a chill night.

There were two other groups before us that were sat pretty quickly within 15 minutes or so. During the time we were waiting the hostess was extremely friendly and kept giving us updates on when the table was going to be ready and was making light conversation with us as we waited. When we finally got seated you could tell that the servers were definitely busy trying to get everyone's food and drinks out and so the same hostess came to us and said don't worry I'll take your order for you and told us the things that were the most popular which from my pictures we basically got everything she said LOL. And we were not disappointed with the food that we chose. Now we know why they are considered the house specialties. The flavors of the potato fish cheesy goodness dish I cannot remember the name of it was just so warm and comforting. I was worried about a fishiness coming through when you took different bites but no all the flavor is harmonized well with each other. The tuna salad that they made was extremely fresh and again was pleasantly surprised that though it was fish the spices and bread/butter combo that came with it really didn't give any fishiness. It was also well balanced. Now I will say though those other dishes were amazing our favorite hands down was definitely the grilled octopus. It was so tender and almost melt in your mouth. We were blown away by how well it was cooked. For sure I would say if you are in the area and have a good amount of time please check this spot out and give yourself at least 3 hours to enjoy the meal because again we sat there laughing eating and talking with the people around us because it was that fantastic of a Time for roughly 3 hours.

We ordered a mixture of sardines, meats & cheese, prawns, and of course bread. Keep in mind if you come here, expect to take your time. With such a small team, the service isn't rushed. But personally, I think that adds to the charm. The owner thankfully spoke English so communicating was basically a breeze. The ambiance is very laid back and slightly rustic. There are only about 10 or so tables but it's still great for small groups. Would highly recommend for a casual, very tasty dinner.

This is a really fun place to try more wines and port, with many different tasting options, or simply go with dealer's choice. One of the servers just had such passion describing the different wines and port, and giving you some history into Portugal's wine production, that it took the experience from just dining at a regular restaurant to truly a wine tasting. Also, the outdoor tables are purposely set to be very close together, and by the end of the night, we were laughing and drinking with our neighbors. There are only a few charcuterie options, no heavier food items to soak up the alcohol, so make sure you come with a full stomach or have a dinner plan after!
