The food service location in the building fantastic my first time in there I heard about their food I never it Unto this past weekend hands-down I love them if I have to go back near Boston in the future I'm sure I would not mind to drive a few extra miles to have their food. I am A Brazilian national I know our food is very similar to Portuguese food but I have never had food from the island very nice can't wait to go back.

This place is amazing! We come with our best friends at least once a month! The sangria, the steak, the octopus, pork. Everything is delicious. The atmosphere and staff are great.
I love this place! Had the chicken and squash raviolis, and it's was wonderful. The steak tips were delicious and the haddock was light fluffy and sweet And the house cab. was really good. I really can't wait to come back. Our waitress was excellent and so accommodating.
We went here for a very late lunch. I ordered the fisherman's platter and my companion had the butternut squash ravioli. The fisherman's platter was excellent. Probably the best scallops I have ever had. Perfectly cooked and a very nice coating. The haddock was good (it was a few thin pieces but still good). And the calamari was very good. I wouldn't hesitate for a second ordering it again. My companions meal was great as well. The combo of the sauce, cranberries and walnuts were great. We did have dessert... the rice pudding, chocolate mousse and lemon cups were excellent. The atmosphere was nice but we were getting buzzed by flies the entire meal. Service was excellent. If you're up this way, don't hesitate to stop in!
The octopus and potato salad was outstanding! Texture of the octopus was perfect and flavor great. Also got the fresh catch skillet, fresh indeed and tasty. The lava beans were too salty, otherwise I'd score food a 5.
Excellent service and colorful, relaxed atmosphere. It was crowed but not noisy thanks in part to high ceilings.
Easy parking.Right next to the commuter rail station if you're not driving.
This restaurant is exceptionally elegant and sophisticated. Upon arrival, we were immediately captivated by its grand and beautifully adorned building, filled with tasteful decorations. As we stepped inside, we were surrounded by delightful handmade artwork and photographs from the Azores Islands.
The culinary experience was nothing short of exquisite. We savored dishes like little necks in a flavorful white wine sauce, warm bread accompanied by fragrant olive oil, tender octopus, and delectable stuffed shrimp. For dessert, we indulged in a rich chocolate mousse and the delightful Portuguese pastry, pasteis de nata.
One unique feature we appreciated was the presence of a charming Portuguese store within the restaurant. It offered a wide range of Portuguese products, including tuna, olive oil, Portuguese beverages, olives, pimentos, and much more.
We left with a strong desire to return in the future, as our dining experience at this establishment was truly remarkable.
Great food, especially if you love seafood. The octopus was very good, we had octopus in the salad appetizer and there was grilled octopus in one of the specials that we ordered. Their fish and shrimp dishes were also very tasty. Wish I’d had room for dessert!
This is a Portuguese restaurant with many seafood selections on their appetizer and main menus along with a good selection of wines and cocktails. On a whim, I decided to try their filet mignon steak in wine sauce and it was perfectly cooked and delicious! Their fried calamari and garlic shrimp appetizers were mouth-wateringly good! The service was fast and very friendly. Will definitely go back.
A varied and delicious menu with lots of wonderful dishes to enjoy. This is a non pretentious place but is a wonderful venue to enjoy a great meal in bustling surroundings. Highly recommend!
Quaint little resturant that specializes in Azorean cuisine. Superb wine list and they recork your bottle to take home. I recommend the fish stew!
We came around 4pm for a dinner on Sunday, was no wait. Place started to get more crowded towards 5:30. I got a seafood cataplana that tasted great - just a little spicy. My party members got daily specials and their meals tasted great as well. The inside is well styled and comfortable. Our server was polite and explained menu options. Coffee wasn’t bad but my latte had no foam at all. Surprisingly prices weren’t high. Would come back !
Amazing Portuguese restaurant one of the best in the area. Really can’t go wrong everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorite is the seafood trio a combination of garlic, shrimp, garlic calamari, and grilled octopus. The Mozambique shrimp is fantastic as well. Do yourself a favor try a glass of the green wine.
