  Small space, so please make a reservation or you'll be waiting awkwardly in a space that's way too tight for you to be hanging out in (winter problems).  They do have a bigger outside area in the back, so once the warmer weather comes, there will be more options.  
  
  A truly great, rustic little spot. read less

  Suggestions for the owner -
  
  Please get AC for the summer months.  We don't eat here when it's hot out because it can be so unbearable.
  
  Look into your seats - they can be pretty uncomfortable.  I don't need anything cushy, but the height of some benches and the seating with the large center "door" table aren't really in line and you can't comfortably pull yourself up to the table to eat.  Just kinda awkward, but an easy thing to fix.
  
  All in all, a great place! read less

We are gluten free and they brought us some bread that we could eat. Actually the entire menu the night we went was quite GF friendly. The service is attentive but not quite fast, but the ambiance makes it the kind of place you want to lazily graze on your dishes and fall in love. We will be back. read less

Their menu changes daily, with a few exceptions, but you are guaranteed a fantastic meal no matter what. The chicken/pork sausage has a runny egg on top to provide the ultimate umami..this is a must order. I also highly recommend the octopus. Soft interior, crispy grilled skin, you will not want to pass on this one. Chef Mike and staff provide the most authentic Portuguese experience in a small, yet romantic dining room, with an even friendlier atmosphere. Make sure to get here early, it fills up fast on the weekends! read less
