Portugal Wine Bar & Grill UNCLAIMED

I left with mixed feeling about this restaurant. Firstly, the service is very attentive but we idn't like the atmosphere too much, or at least where we were seated. There was intimacy and very trip mall'ish. The food had a lot of flavors but was also very rich and oily. I could feel my arteries complaining as I ate! I would go again but maybe request a better table and select lighter foods.

I would like to really recommend this restaurant. The first thing you notice is how professional and friendly the staff are. It was quite busy and had a good atmosphere with loud chatter and clinking of cutlery and wine glasses. Nice many with many good sounding items and I ended up ordering the waiter's recommendation of the Pork Ossobuco which was tender, rich and very flavorful, and my wife had an Octopus dish on a clay tile that she said was excellent. The Portuguese wine we had was very good and overall it was a superb evening.

My wife and I tried this restaurant for the first time and had a very enjoyable dinner. The service is top notch and we went with our server's recommendations of the octopus and Portuguese steak, both very tasty and we liked the olives and bread they bring out. Wine was nice as well. The prices are on the high side and on par with fine dining rates.

We had the most wonderful waiter and service and the fish dish I ordered was delicious. The flambe chorizo appetizer is something you have to try and it's fun to watch table side. The flan for dessert was creamy and they make an excellent espresso. The only thing I didn't like was the atmosphere as I expected to be more elegant and was kind of loud and sports bar'ish with people yelling at the TVs and from the kitchen.

Customer service is attentive and prices very reasonable. The Portuguese Style Paella was very tasty and the Mixed Picadinho had good flavor but there was a few tough pieces of meat. The Calamari appetizer wasn't crispy as described. Wine very good. Table next to us had a fish dish that looked awesome and would like to try that next time.

To be honest I didn't like the atmosphere in here very much but our server was highly professional and the food was very good. The Fired Sardines appetizer was excellent with good dipping sauce. The Grilled Octopus was the most tender and flavor I've had and the roasted punch potatoes went so well with it. My wife had their Paella which was loaded with lobster, mussels, calamari, etc. and had a lot of flavor. Pitcher of sangria was delicious and complimented the food nicely. No room for dessert but coffee was good and fresh.
