    We were thankfully able to make a last minute reservation here after the restaurant we wer initially planning on going to had an hour wait and we had concert tickets. What a great find. The sangria was great. We had shrimp in garlic sauce which was excellent. I had steak Portucale was was delicious. Everyone else really likes their food too. Parking was tight. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    We were in that area at the Prudential Center, it was a close place and a shot in the dark. Food was good, huge portion size. The prices were reasonable. Looked like there was a nice patio area outside, it looked like it would be nice to eat out there during the warmer months. Our waiter was friendly and very helpful. They could find my reservation and accommodated us right away. Overall really we enjoyed our experience there, We would recommend it.
