    We had a terrible experience with our visit. The service was slow and our waiter did not know there were specials. The menu is built around salted cod fish, just different versions. The one item that we read about from other reviews, their sausage, they were sold out. I ended up getting a special (after going outside to read their specials board), white sea bass, which turned out to be salted cod! We were very disappointed with our experience.

    Went for the Steak on a Stone. Meat was tasty. Sardines were also crispy and delicious. Will definitely go again. Service was great. Lots of fun!

    the dining evening was great except what others had said that their wine list is full of not having many available choices except a few reds at $70 plus or a few whites that are vinho verde and not still wine. but we had house wines that were very good and priced right.

    Very authentic Portuguese cuisine served in an upscale atmosphere. A 2 min walk from Hollander Hotel and well worth the experience.

    A wonderful dinner! As a native Portuguese, their food is authentic, and tastes like I’m back home in Portugal. The service was wonderful, Beto was very attentive. I highly recommend visiting Fado.

    We celebrated our Wedding Anniversary and service was courteous friendly and professional. The food was delicious and very well presented. We try the Vino Verde and my husband try a Portuguese beer and they didn't disappoint. Thank you for making a memorable experience.

    Very much enjoyed our meal. It was reasonably priced and we ended up sharing an entrée as there was so much food. If you think you would enjoy a wonderful dish of cod , this is the place to go.
