"Pretty good, with a large offering of Portuguese cuisine. Prices are affordable and food is of great quality and taste. Orders usually take a while and pad on extra time to whatever they tell you, you will have to wait. Service is ok, however the lady who handles the orders should smile and be more pleasant with all customers. There is a sit down areas inside and outside the restaurant and they have their own restrooms inside the store as well. They also have a good range of illy coffee based drinks, espresso, Americano, cappuccino, lattes and decaf varieties as well."
