**Restaurant Review: A Taste of Portuguese Comfort**
Nestled in the heart of New Bedford, this restaurant embodies the charm of authentic Portuguese cuisine at reasonable prices, drawing in locals and visitors alike. Diners rave about standout dishes like Shrimp Mozambique and Portuguese Steak, which promise generous portions and robust flavors. The welcoming atmosphere, complemented by attentive service, enhances the overall experience, creating a cozy setting for all occasions. Though some dishes, such as calamari, may miss the mark, the handmade French fries and unique tartar sauce leave guests satisfied. With a commitment to quality and flavor, this spot is worth the visit.

My Portuguese friend told me bout this restaurant..so me and my husband come down from Revere....well food was horrible my husband's steak was half fat and my fish smelled days old...rice was stale 1st and last entrance in this establishment.
What a gem! We stumbled upon this place by chance. The broiled scallops were incredible, and the portions were generous without breaking the bank. The beer was affordable too. It's a small, unassuming spot, but definitely worth a visit!
No idea what happened to this place. They used to have an awesome Carne Alentejana... What I got there today was not good, but not terrible. Very mediocre. Other meals in my party included the rabbit, which was just ok . The sword fish and Tuna were both terrible. Bland, like out of a frozen dinner. The worst part about this place is the horrible service... The place was empty when we arrived so there is no excuse. Waited a half hour to order and get drinks. They forgot my water and I wouldn 't be getting one until an hour in, when our food finally arrived... yes, an hour... we ate the mediocre food... then we finished eating and they came and cleaned our table.....and we then continued to wait another 40 minutes just trying to pay and leave. Mandatory 20% tip, which is fine, except the service was BAD! Probably why they didn 't care about serving us very well.
I’ve visited this restaurant many times before, and while I’ve never considered it my favorite Portuguese spot, the food has generally been decent. However, during my most recent visit with a group of seven, I noticed that the quality of the food has declined. The staff were friendly, but the service was incredibly slow. I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon. Unfortunately, Captain's Place just doesn’t have what it takes to be one of my go-to restaurants. As a Portuguese person, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone trying the cuisine for the first time, let alone those who are more experienced!
