Food was very delicious and servers were friendly. The only downside of this restaurant is they have a 2 hour per table limit posted every where to make sure it's seen and you feel rushed. My family likes to enjoy some sangria and enjoy each others company. If you are looking for good food and don't mind eating and running this is a good place to go

The place is well lit, clean and decorated nicely. We made same day reservations quick and easy. The waiters were polite. They give you a time limit of 2 hrs to dine, which is written on the menu. We started off with the shrimp in garlic sauce, which it wasn't all that great. Few of the shrimps were not cleaned, the shrimp was not hot and they we barely tasted the garlic. The Paella Valencia was good, Plenty of seafood for 2 (regular size) The shrimp in it was cleaned and not over cooked. After dinner we ordered coffee and expresso. Came to find out it was the same thing (except the price) just different cup. We can tell the difference because, we have gone to numerous of Portuguese restaurants, so we are always trying new places. Overall, I can honestly say that we are not going back.

Yes we do. It is not available online because it changes quite often due to freshness and availability of ingredients. In addition to a simple lunch menu Chef prepares anywhere between 6 and 12 lunch specials every single day. You can check those out on our facebook page, twitter, or our website.
