  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
From the moment you enter, tones of old world yellows, stone fireplaces, wrought iron cellar gates and sconces, soft candlelight, coves with upholstered sofa seating and friendly staff, it's an undeniable inviting space, nothing short of extraordinary. Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.



The cuisine truly upholds the name of Fine Portuguese/Spanish Dining, seafood and fish, organic meats, the freshest ingredients and to maintain the tradition, huge portions are to be expected. The menu is seasonal and in addition to a varied selection of delectable dishes to satisfy any palette, daily specials are always featured. The wine list with over 180 selections is an ambitious one that keeps growing, but sure not to disappoint the discriminating connoisseur.

    To start, I made a reservation. When I arrived they took my name and told me to wait on a line. Is t that the point of making a reservation? I waited 2 hours for burnt lobster tails. I understand it was busy, but I’ve been to busy restaurants and I’ve never waited that long for food. On top of the wait, the lobster was way over cooked. An apology and maybe a free something would have been nice. Instead I couldn’t wait to get out of there.

    Great experience! Food was good and the service was good. The hostess seemed a bit overwhelmed by the traffic of people arriving but the manager did a good job seating people.

    Thought our waiter was a little rude understanding the fact it was Valentine’s Day felt we were rushed. Never told the gratuity was added to the check and we left an extra 20% on a 350.00 bill. Are bad for not checking but not a happy experience

    We have been coming here for many years for the authentic Hispanic food. The food quality and presentation are excellent, and the service is always outstanding! We highly recommend this restaurant.
