The food is a hit or miss. Some times its the best around and other days it could be so much better. Last time we were there it was Mother's day. We ended up spending just about 3 hours there. Mostly waiting. The food was good but not for my whole party. We would like to see them step up a little more and actually have their waitresses pay attention to what people are ordering and requesting. Also the bill was over charged. We had 11 people with us 5 of them which were children. No way did we spend what we did when they came around with the check. But we said nothing and paid it. Which sucks but we honestly wanted to just get out of there. Like i said 3 hours there i was ready to go. I had my 1yr old with me and being 9 months pregnant I wasnt trying to sit there any longer.
My wife and I went to Restaurante Algarve for dinner on our way to a movie. My wife ordered one of the fish specials that was listed on the menu at $21.99. A while after we ordered, the waitress came over to say they did not have any more of that special but they did have a similar dish that they could offer as an alternative. My wife agreed to the option and there was no mention of a cost difference so we assumed the other dish would be priced close to the special that was ordered. It was getting close to the time we needed to leave for the movie so I asked for the check. The check took an unusually long time to come and when it did, I found the amount to be much higher than expected. As I was now running late for the movie, and this caught me off-guard, I gave the waitress my credit card and just paid the bill. When I looked at the itemized bill, I found that I was charged $39.95 for my wife's dish instead of the $21.95 of the dish that she ordered. If I wasn't under the time pressure of having to be somewhere else, I could have taken the time to bring it up in a non-confrontational way but since I wasn't prepared to deal with this at the moment, I just let it go. The food was decent but there are several other great Portuguese restaurants in the area and we will choose to eat elsewhere next time.
Was told the order would take 25 minutes and waited over an hour for take out. Ordered Chicken mozambique, cod baz style and 2 soups. They forgot the soup and had to wait an extra 15 minutes for soup that was already made. Chicken had a weird taste, soup was not the Portuguese soup I ordered and was not fresh. Paid $19.98 for 2 soups, which is rediculous and was expecting fresh Portuguese soup. Half the soup, not kidding, was beans. Kidney, brown and whatever other beans they had , they threw in this stale soup. Most expensive restaurant in my area and not even close to the quality of the other places near me. NEVER GO THERE AGAIN! I can go to the other places, spender way less and get better quality food!
The menu is authentic Portuguese recipes. The food is delicious! The restaurant is well-lit and clean. A good choice in a city with many good Portuguese places. Lots of seafood options.
Food is delicious and worth the money. Service is great owner is a good man hard worker.
