Espresso Portuguese American Grill — Restaurant in Manassas

pretty bare bones spot, sometimes thats a good sign. went here on a date. neither of us eat much seafood, so I'm willing to believe the seafood is their area of expertise, but there were a few steak and chicken options that we were told were very good. My date had steak on a rock, which looked good and came recommend. they did not ask how it should be cooked, and while the flavor was ok and it wasn't chewy, there was no sign of pink in the meat, a shame especially for the price. why leave it cooking on a hot rock if its already completely cooked??? his side was veggies steamed to death and not appetizing. I got the garlic chicken which had such an unusual smell and taste I thought the garlic had gone rancid...perhaps canned?? the chicken itself was again overcooked and just ok. it was the smell and taste that seemed off. I love garlic but I've never smelled something like that, almost sour. I did not get sick, so I'm not sure what the deal was. there was otherwise no seasoning in anything. the rice looked good but the garlic sauce was all in it. the highlight of the meal was the free bread provided at the table which was actually WAY better than most restaurant table breads-- thick, soft, dense, warm. We came for the reviews, but would not return. had I not been on a date I would have sent my food back. Tipped as normal bc I suspect the cook that day was very inexperienced and that's not the waitress fault. advice to the business, taste the food, check it before sending out. the prices are high and it was a...

I wish I had the opportunity to give this restaurant 5 starts. I came tonight at almost 10:pm. The open sign was on and there were plenty of people inside. Once we came inside, we were greeted with a scowl from an apparently angry woman saying that they were closed. Fine, my apologies. We were met with “No food! Buy drinks!” Oook. We left the establishment and were blocked in by a big black truck that was burning his tires for about 3 minutes while people were yelling “We Portuguese are crazy!”

We have lived in this area for years and are both ethnic people that want to support other brown people. This establishment showed me that if you’re not a regular Portuguese customer, don’t go. I’m sure their food is good but I’ll travel when I want to indulge and find another spot that doesn’t seem so dangerous and prejudice, especially against others just wanted to patronize and support your...
