We had read their great reviews and let me tell you, they are worthy of the excellent reviews they have. Service was great, atmosphere is very up-scale (without high prices) and the food was not only served attractively but also very well made. We ordered the polvo a mesa and it was wonderful. Polvo (octopus) is one of our favorite dishes so we have a lot to compare it to and this was some of the best. Served with greens and choriço and fingerling potatoes. Make sure your save room for dessert because their dessert menu is not your typical portuguese desserts. It included things like petit gateu, praline cheesecake and an apple crumble with ice cream that was so delicious we wondered if we were still in Portugal and hadn't died and gone to heaven. We will definitely be back.
