    Let me tell you about Ferreira Cafe. It’s supposed to be this amazing Portuguese place—everyone’s talking about it, right? So I go, I try the octopus and the bass. The flavors? Tremendous, really tremendous. But guess what? The food was cold. Can you believe it? Cold. I’ve had better meals at rallies, folks. Now, the ambiance? Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. They’ve done a fantastic job with that. But the prices? Way too high. For the quality, it’s not even close. Frankly, I’ve seen better value at half the cost. Would I go back? Maybe. But they’ve got to step it up. Big time. Nobody likes overpaying for cold food. Nobody.

    I had a great welcoming, a perfect table, excellent service, love the menu, the caviar and beef Wellington are delicious. I had an amazing dining experience once again and I will go back. I would only enjoy having valet service, specially in winter, it’s so convenient and would be part of this premium experience.
