   Sitting on the patio which was very hot with still air. Even though early May they need some fans in there that flow air better or put some air-conditioning in. The biggest problem was at 5 o’clock in the afternoon on Mother’s Day, they had a guy playing guitar who was actually not bad but just playing music - and loud to reach the whole room- that didn’t quite fit the occasion (pink floyd?) . In between his sets they played very nice Latin music which would’ve been great the entire night. We were sitting near the stage so of course it was extremely loud, but I’ll blame that on my old age and table location. Service was spotty. Seem like maybe some new people working. Also just a heads up. We were a party of five. They included the gratuity which I don’t have a problem with, But they did not let me know. Luckily, I checked. I don’t think they were trying to rip me off- but owners, a suggestion, when you drop the check and you include gratuity you should make a very deliberate point to let people know.

   Nice restaurant. The choice of music or musicians was not to my taste.

   The restaurant advertised a Sunday brunch, which was the reason we made a reservation. However, when we arrived, the restaurant wasn’t fully open. The staff was rude and asked us to wait outside. Once seated, I politely requested that they lower the volume since we were the only customers. The host responded rudely, stating that we could sit inside if we needed to. They had a DJ for the day. When the waiter came to take our order, I requested the Sunday brunch that was on the menu they had provided us. However, the waiter returned with a different menu, informing us that they had a Mother’s Day menu and no brunch. This was quite upsetting, especially since their website didn’t mention any changes to the menu for Mother’s Day.

   My boyfriend is Portuguese, and we live in Middletown NJ. We have 2 favorite Portuguese restaurants we go to both in Long Branch. This restaurant made our list of favorite restaurants, so now we have 3 favorite Portuguese restaurants!

   Recommended by a coworker. Arrived on a Thursday evening. Apparently, this is karaoke night. No hostess to sit you. You really don't need reservations, because no one asked for one. We sat under the heated tented because the other side of the restaurant (bar and high tops) was reserved for karaoke. Extremely loud and food was just sub average. Skirt steak and halibut were over cooked and lacked flavor. Risotto tasted like paste. Btw, you cannot substitute your entree. For $200 and 20% gratuity included, I think there are better options in NJ. Not sure if karaoke ruined the experience or the lack of service or food altogether. Will not return.

   It was Valentine’s Day 2/14/25, my partner and I have been dying to try this restaurant to only be welcomed to a 3 hour wait time for our entrees. I understand that it was busy and a lot going on that specific occasion, however we had reservations for 8:30pm and didn’t get our food till 11:24pm about. We saw people who were there after us that received their food while we waited for ours. Our waiter explained to us that they make the ‘easier’ foods first, but that’s not fair. On top of that all I got was stuffed shrimp which is considered an easy dish and my partner had got a certain steak, but it doesn’t take 3 hours to make a medium well steak. It wasn’t the waiters fault he did his best and even offered us a free item for the long wait we had which the manager watching us from a distance couldn’t even offer it to us himself. I never thought I would spend my Valentine’s Day night in a restaurant corner with my partner. We had plans to go out after and couldn’t even make it because of this. I don’t know if we would ever come back here again or recommend it to anyone that is interested. This was definitely a night to remember.

    Food was very good. Main dining room was nice and spread out. Music was a little loud. Only complaint was we went on Valentine’s Day and they were extremely shortstaffed and it took over an hour and a half to get our dinner. I believe they should have given us a heads up that they were running behind instead of constantly saying the food’s coming the food‘s coming.
