We went with some friends to sample some traditional Portuguese for lunch. The bar was hopping and the dining room had 5-6 tables occupied. We sat and were greeted by a very pleasant server- Isabelle? The tables were a little sticky. We enoyed the cod croquettes and the queijo fresco with gorgeous fresh bread to start with. The cheese was so light and creamy - it was a nice mix with the red pepper sauce. My friends got the Portuguese soup which was good- not fabulous. The broth tasted a little under seasoned and maybe watery. The fish soup was almost entirely blended- I think we expected it to be chunkier, also mediocre in flavor. We then shared a plate of fried smelts which I had never had and the Bacalhau a Braz. My friend said the smelt were sort of dried out- not much fish meat to enjoy. My Bacalhau a Braz was delicious- a nice blend of flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed it and we left completely full. One suggestion to the restaurant- that many restaurants do- please be mindful of spraying the table cleaner in a nearby table when your guests are eating. Overall- it was a great experience. read more
