Portugal: Land of Explorers
In the 15th Century, Prince Henry the navigator ordered his explorers to bring back to Portugal any exotic fruits, nuts and plants from the new lands. Tomatoes and potatoes are taken to Europe, Brazilian pineapples were introduced to Azores, Brazilian chili peppers grew in Angola, African coffee was transplanted to Brazil.
Today the Portuguese fondness for ingredients like cinnamon or curry powder, is also a legacy of his time. The Romans brought wheat and introduced onion, garlic, olives and grapes. Later the Moors were the first to plant rice and introduced figs, planted groves of lemons, oranges and almond trees. Portugal is a seafaring nation with a well-developed fishing industry trading cod since the 15th century.
Today, naturally, Portuguese cuisine varies from region to region , but fresh fish and shellfish are found on virtually every menu. BOM APETITE!!!!

    Another delicious meal this time on “Steak Night”, the Wednesday special. My perfectly cooked ribeye was delicious and large enough to bring home for steak sandwiches. As always the service is amazing but this restaurant is very much European in style meaning you are never rushed and can relax and enjoy chatting between courses.

    The vertical presentation of the shish-kabob was impressive and the meal was delicious! Loved the homemade potato chips. Nice to have the crusty bread + butter and olives to enjoy before the meal. The salmon dinner was delicious!

    Went for lobster special on a Thursday that we've gone for years. Went on March 13 and expected the usual $39.95 each. When we got bill we saw they raised it to 49.95 each. Being regulars, they recognized us and didn't tell us until the bill came and apologized that they should have said something as it only increased that day. We won't be back. Sad, after 6 straight years.

    We been doing 39.95 for 10!!! years already. Something unheard. We didn't advertise the 39.95 this week. We took our boards out. Waiters were informing the costumers about the increase for this week since our suppliers raise the price a lot. Unfortunately we can't sell bellow cost. During 2 or 3 weeks last year also happened. We apologize if you weren't told. You saying that you a costumer for 6 years and we tank you for that. Giving us 1 star for something we can't control is sad. Sad to loose a 6 year costumer for 10.00. Also sad you going there for 6 years and never did a good review. After 6 years we really expected at least one good one. When the market drop we'll lower the price again. Hopefully next week. The good thing it's that one star was not about the food. Thanks

    I was all set for the Sea Bass tonight but unfortunately the delivery was delayed so o went back to the skirt steak with Spanish potatoes and chimichurri sauce. The steak was flavorful as always, the potatoes were crispy and salty which is perfect and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. If you order this dish as for some of their hot sauce if you like a bit of heat. Service was warm and personable as always. You always feel welcome here that's why we always come back.
