Very classy, they've recently changed management and the food
is not quite as good as it was, although still extremely pricey.
They are trying very hard, though (sometimes too hard.. my risotto
with prunes and walnuts had too much prunes and walnuts) which made
flavors a bit unbalanced.
We'll try them again after a few weeks to see whether they've
gotten their balance.

We love this restaurant!
When you arrive, the table is already supplied with a basket of freshly
baked bread and they hurry to open your bottle (it's a BYOB)
The list of 8-10 specials includes many creative and yummy choices
and their standbys are great too, often with a special twist.
They even have low-carb choices which focus on fresh lean meat and seafood
and interestingly prepared fresh veggies, just what you need to have
a special and diet-conscious meal.
And.. every time I get up to leave, I promise myself that I'll have
to try the pizza next time. It looks and smells so wonderful and a good
portion of the guests are obviously loving it.
Our current favorite in the Metuchen area. :)

This used to be my favorite restaurant in the area, but recently, the
entrees seem to have become a bit tired, or tried and true, but not quite
with the same spark.
Still a terrific place for a special meal and they server the bes breadsticks
I've ever had.
The lower-priced 'bistro specials' are just ordinary, though.
I'd probably just go to a chain restaurant if i was in the mood for
that fare.

Good food, well prepared sushi, but the service was quite slow.
After going there several times, we realized that the wait staff was
just not going to see if we needed anything, so our tea cups would empty,
we needed more wasabi, or wanted another roll, and nobody was around
to help.
It was just too frustrating. They could do better!

We've been here a couple of times. They serve very large portions
of traditional Portuguese dishes. The food is delicious, but not fancy
and we always leave feeling way too full!

We visited this diner recently with my husband and mother-in-law.
The food was decent (big salad, burger, broiled seafood platter) but
the service was horrible!
We sat for 20 minutes waiting for coffee, or anything at all, then when
it was brought, mine was burnt. WHen I asked for a fresh cup, the witress
snapped at me that it was the same that my husband had. (His wasn't
burnt.) One thing we know is whether the coffee tastes like it's
been sitting out for several hours. The next cup was fine, but the waitress
had a big attitude the whole meal and never offered us a refill on coffee
or dessert, or anything. I'm not used to tension-filled diner
meals! By attitude I mean she was curt and snappish and defensive..
angry I guess.
When my husband tried to let the owner know what our experience was,
the owner totally ignored him and instead, rang up the cash register
for the next customer.
We go to diners every weekend, and this is the only time in the past few
years we've seen such agressively hostile service!

Excellent seafood! BYOB with many fresh entrees and specials.
The service was brisk, but a bit chatty. The atmosphere is extremely
casual, but the food was so terrific we like to keep returning :)
