The pros: A really good fish restaurant. This is top quality if you want to taste fresh Portuguese fish. I'm a fish lover and this place beats it all. Salmonetes are 10 on a scale 1 to 5, just out of this world. Fish quality is really good and the price is fair. The cons: the room is huge and the noise is really high. Everyone is screaming to be heard. Really annoying. Probably better during the week than on weekends. I'm recommending this 100% for fish quality and grill but not for a quiet romantic meal.
