| 1 | Tue Aug 31 11:01:54 2004 | ARB | 5.00 | Our starters were excellent (grilled squid and Portuguese mussels in spicy sauce) but the long wait for our main course of grilled chicken (we were warned it would be 45 minutes or so) turned into a big dissapointment. The chicken was overcooked and dried out to the point where my wife actually struggled to get her fork into it! None of our dishes were hot when they arrived which was also very dissapointing. I am not sure if it's just the way Portuguese food is prepared, but our chicken, fries and salad were very oily, so if you're watching your fat intake.... One doesnt expect grilled chicken to be extra oily. The service is friendly but slow, we waited about five minutes to be acknowledged and seated and by the time we were able to catch the servers eye to ask for some sauce to help the chicken go down we were all but done eating our meal. They really could do with more than one server. Part of the problem seems to be that everyone wants an explanation of what the dishes are, which is fair enough, but then get some more help. We were there on a not so busy Monday evening so it must be hell when it's busy. The prices are very reasonable and the quantity of food you get for it is good. We were quite excited at the prospect of finding a Portuguese restaurant in Calgary as we have experienced the cuisine in other parts of the world so this experience was certainly not what we had hoped for. Given that it is one of very few places in Calgary that actually grills their squid rather than fries, or deep fries it, I may be tempted to go back some day, but not too soon. |
