Food was good, underwhelming for a Portuguese steakhouse. The service was mediocre and disorganized. The location is not great, middle of a residential neighborhood. Decor is incoherent. If you want to come here save your money and go elsewhere. If not PLEASE make sure you make a reservation, when you arrive don't wait to be seated, go upstairs and find someone and let them know you're there if not you'll waste the evening waiting for someone to seat you at a table. The food portions where extremely generous, a 2lb Porter house for 45$....not bad at all!!! However, flavor was lacking. Also some of the clientele seems to be working girls getting off their shift...over all, the place is ok, just not worth the hassle....last, worthy mention, there were some flies pestering about the Bar, also this restaurant has a liquor store wedged between the bar and the other side of the restaurant, so while you sit at the bar to drink, you see the locals coming in to grab their brown paper bagged booze....that's it, rant over.

It is full where you pick up the food, there is no social distance and they do not put order for those who order there and those who collect their orders, seeing myself surrounded by so many people I felt afraid

You might have to ask your server or call the restaurant that’s something the chef might only know.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

The cleaning of the table after someone else use it, leaves a little bit of concern. The same rag gets to move from chairs to table to other tables and back to the host's table without any sanitizing and follow by the same person handling clean glass /dishes without washing the hands in between 🤔😬

Do they have a parking lot for self parking?
