Authentic Portuguese cuisine immediately brought me back to my trip to Portugal in 2022. The server was quick and straightforward. The food and wine were fantastic. We had grilled octopus (tapas), mixed seafood plate and cod Minhota style. Everything was so delicious and we left the place very happy. Reservation is recommended as they get very busy.

We were hosted to this restaurant by our Portuguese friend recently. It’s clearly a family favorite, and now I understand why. The Portuguese cuisine was the best I’ve ever had—everything was freshly made, bursting with flavor, and incredibly juicy. A big thank you to CASA MINHOTA for the exceptional hospitality and for letting us experience such outstanding dishes. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food, went on a busier night so staff appeared a little shorthanded

This place was a beautiful surprise. Food is amazing, atmosphere and the service was impeccable, friendly and polite. Everything we eat was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the shrimp and the house red wine. I’ll definitely come back many times!

The food was delicious and tasted just like Portugal. It was a nice high end restaurant and the service was friendly and as quick as possible. I found the pastel de nata a bit dry, but otherwise the food was great!

Best Portuguese food is known for its seafood, cured meats, and soups, and this place lived up all those expectations. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and through with menu, great recommendations for dinner. They often check to ensure all is well.
