I've heard of them and great reviews and I went for a pool watching party for a candidate for City council. I had such good conversations with patrons and it was kind of on the political spectrum which I try to stay away from because some people are staunch one-sided or the other. We ended up understanding each other so well that it's not extreme to one side or the other and it was so enjoyable to have a good adult conversation lol.
The chef I ended up talking to was so fun and helpful and for the candidate we were there for on their own made her a couple platters.
The bartender was excellent

This was my first time there for a candidate for City council poll watching party.
The patrons, bartender and the wonderful wonderful chef were so outgoing and inviting I had the greatest time I've had in a long long time. There was one patron we were talking about politics and we ended up being on the opposite side of the spectrum but we agreed that we need to be more in the middle and accepting of each person's views whether it be the two of us that were talking or anybody in the world. You might not agree with someone but never push your views on another person.
We as a society have to start

It’s incredibly! everything change, the food are terrible, serving in a state of descomposición with notable bad smell and of course the taste, The portugués flavor it’s nowhere, the before stick are the best in the area with big shrimps, chicken and pork but now is nothing, I’m very sure not recommend it this place and the service it’s so poor. -*

The food was good. The place was empty though, we walked in and didn't even know if they were open. The kale soup was not what I was used too. Being from Eastern Mass, our Kale Soup is regular broth with meat, kale pieces, and veggies...and the Kale Soup here was a thick potato base like chowder and just kale shreds. It was "ok" but that's just my preference. The Alentejana was good.
