This place has real Portuguese food, good service, and good prices. There's even a 3-course dinner for $30 if you ask. Check the back page of the menu for it. Good wine selection, fine seafood, lots of attractive specials. So what if it's in the basement of an anonymous bank building far from Metro? It's fabulous.
Best Kept Secret in NW DC Hidden away in the Chevy Chase Bank Building, you descend a spiral staircase to a lovely, romantically-lit bistro. The food is exquisite and the service old-school impeccable. The menu is just a starting point since the specials each night are numerous and your waiter can describe them in detail. I have yet to order a poorly prepared dish. The ravioli appetizer is a favorite as is any veal dish on the menu. This is my favorite restaurant for special occassions, especially Valentines Day when a prix fixe menu allows them to cater to large numbers without the patrons feeling rushed or overcrowded. Save room for their "tasting" dessert--a selection of several dessertson one plate--or my all time favorite, fried milk.
A group of 4 of us were delighted to find this hidden treasure! The cuisine was excellent and the ambience was delightful. Staff were wonderfully friendly and very generous!
