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!!!!

    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.

    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.

    Both ordered a steak entree..... one was undercooked, and the other lacked some flavor. Jorge was great and attentive. Drinks were great as well.

    The food was delicious and they were six of us. Everyone was happy with their meal and the noise level was good so that we were all able to talk. The restaurant served us in a very leisurely manner and did not rush us at all. We would all go back again

    We were a party of 4. We started with the beet salad, Spanish meatballs and octopus, then marisada, valenciana, short ribs, and medallions of filet mignon. We finished with rice pudding, flan and chocolate mousse. We all really enjoyed our meal. The service was fantastic. We definitely will return
