From the moment you enter, tones of old world yellows, stone fireplaces, wrought iron cellar gates and sconces, soft candlelight, coves with upholstered sofa seating and friendly staff, it's an undeniable inviting space, nothing short of extraordinary. Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.The cuisine truly upholds the name of Fine Portuguese/Spanish Dining, seafood and fish, organic meats, the freshest ingredients and to maintain the tradition, huge portions are to be expected. The menu is seasonal and in addition to a varied selection of delectable dishes to satisfy any palette, daily specials are always featured. The wine list with over 180 selections is an ambitious one that keeps growing, but sure not to disappoint the discriminating connoisseur.

Great quality food, ambience and service. The prices on the menus need to be updated as some are still outdated from the summer happy hours. We went during a work day around 3pm so there were no happy hours or specials at that time. Overall, we had a positive experience and it was enjoyable.

Came here with a few former colleagues for lunch. As usual, the service & food were superb. The chicken picatta melted in my mouth. So full of flavor. The entire experience is unlike any other. Can’t wait to visit again.
