We were in the area for work, and got some take out here. Definitely a cute spot, and busy, I'd recommend reservations. We had the baked clam app(1 piece each) and shrimp in cognac sauce app which was pretty good, and we also shared the stuffed squid app which was excellent! For our entrees we had the monk fish and dried cod. A bit bland, but definitely fresh. Maybe something got lost in translation since we didn't eat it in-house, but definitely worth a try. They also have an extensive wine list and full bar as well.

Yes, the food is delicious and expensive. But the staff have impeccable manners, the seafood is good, they have steaks and chicken dishes. There is free parking and valet parking. The desserts are very good and the portion sizes for the dinner work are generous. They are sometimes not open. The restrooms are rather clean. They take cash and major credit cards. All the staff speak English well. I don't drink alcohol so I don't know about the wines. They do have a vast selection of wines and beers. I have went there with my family several times. The complimentary bread and butter rolls are very good.

We dined here over the weekend for dinner. Service was okay but it took a while to get the check. We enjoyed our appetizers more than the mains. We had the clam appetizer and the seafood stew for main (the broth didn't have much flavor). Overall, getting a simple fish with sides would be good here. They provide cheeses before your apps (free) which is a nice touch. Some tables received a free meat charcuterie dish but ours did not, we inquired and they said they would bring it out but they never ended up following up. Wine pours are generous.

Always a treat to come to this fine restaurant. Love the ambiance: white linen Tableclothes and Napkins, comfortable chairs, relaxed atmosphere, and muted sounds allow for quiet conversation. Delicious bread, butter and Portuguese sausage bites immediately placed on the table. Extensive menu, yet three in our party of four enjoyed the broiled Seafood Combo - Sole, Scallops & Butterfly Shrimp* with sides of mashed potatoes, fresh broccoli and carrots, and tasty rice & beans. Our other guest ordered the Broiled Butterfly Shrimp*. The Shrimp were dry and serving them in their shell was a BIG turn-off! (If not for the shells, this review would be 5 Stars.). The Sole and Scallops were so very fresh and delicious. The desserts were all good but the Portuguese pasty tarts are outstanding! I had heard that the restaurant would be closing soon because its location had become too valuable. I was told that while true, it would be another 18 months. Get there while the gettin's good!

I came here for my friends graduation party and it was great! We had a private room with great service. The appetizers were basically all seafood, but I enjoyed them still. I got the salmon dish for dinner with hollandaise sauce and it was delicious. Also they had an amazing spread for dessert including a creamy chocolate cake. This place was great for the party and I'm sure it's great for regular dine in as well!

Solid food. Gets busy over the weekend. They offer valet service. It's like a smart casual vibe. The restaurant is spacious and the deco on the wall makes you feel like you traveled to the coast of Portugal. Lots of seafood options. Complimentary bread butter and sausage. Can't go wrong there! For apps, the portobello mushroom is a winner. The octopus salad and melon and prosciutto are also very good but the star of the appetizers was the mushroom. Entree the Mariscada is top notch. It's essentially a tomato broth filled with lots of shellfish. All dishes have generous portions. The Flan for dessert was also good. Perhaps it was a tad overcooked but solid flavor. What was unique was they had a photographer going around the tables to take photos and then they tried to sell you the photo and frame before you leave.

Dinner with The Honey on a recent Thursday. Aquario continues to maintain its excellence! The dining room (we ate in the Main Room) is well maintained, tables comfortably spaced and the ambiance is welcoming. The staff is competent and polite, helpful with wine and food selection. And the food - perfectly prepared and generously plated and served. I like the fresh fish here - this time, the Dourada. I opted for the whole fish this time - it's available as fillet as well. Delicious either way. The wines are good and well priced. We shared a bottle. Dessert and coffee topped of this excellent meal. We'll definitely be back!

The restaraunt looks small from the outside but it's huge inside. It's very well decorated with Portugal contents, which was adorable. (See pic) The servers were very professional but still remained personal with us. The ambiance inside gives off vibes like the restaurants over seas which was a nice feeling. The food... we all had different feelings in regards to the food. Personally I thought my food was delicious. I had the puree of vegetable soup as an appetizer and following I had the grilled fish. All their meals comes with fries, rice and beans; which was enough for me to share with my Gf bc it was such a huge portion. My husband and one of our bf's both had steaks and they weren't too pleased as it was filled with fat. For appetizers we also tried clams casino, and melon with prosciutto. For dessert I had rice pudding one of my favorite Portuguese desserts. I would come back. **+by the way, the owner will be closing the restaraunt in two years, retiring and moving back to Portugal. If you want to try this place come before he shuts down. ***
