Locals only Resturant. Not a tourist Resturant. Don’t come if you want to be treated special or politely. That being said.
We walked in almost 10pm on a Wednesday. Owner accepted us. Told us if we sat immediately we would get a table. Immediately in Alentejano means 15 minutes. Owner sat us n was very kind and happy to serve us.
We started off with the normal Portuguese appetizers (cheese, olives). He’s asked us first before placing on the table. Typically in Portugal, they’re already on the table and it’s pretty much pay for what you eat.
First up was a couple of the most delicious, freshest salads. Almost tastes like these were grown their personal garden. Followed by soup. Home made soup. Authentic Portuguese soup.
Remember we were a table of 8. Every person loved their entrée. Fish was perfect. Pork was perfect. Not a single complaint.
I did not forget to mention the fabulous house wine. The biggest critic of the family, a typical Portuguese critic, rated this restaurant 5 stars.
Thank you for a great experience. Keep it up. Don’t change anything.
Great outdoor seating as well with a great open window.

The 8 of us were all Portuguese blood. Some from Portugal some from The states.
Once again, thank you for being funny and having a great...
