I
recently
dined
at
a
local
Portuguese
establishment
with
some
high
hopes,
however,
I
found
myself
gravely
disappointed
by
both
the
food
and
service.
Despite
it
being
a
restaurant
that
centers
around
Portuguese
cuisine,
the
food
served
here
lacked
the
typical
warmth
and
spirit
that
one
should
expect
from
the
flavor-rich
culture
that
is
Portugal.
The
most
concerning
part
was
that
the
food
was
regrettably
undercooked.
Not
only
does
this
question
the
skill
of
the
chef,
but
instantly
rings
alarm
bells
for
numerous
health
issues.
I
ordered
a
Caesar
Salad
as
part
of
my
meal,
but
what
arrived
was
far
from
it.
What
one
expects
from
a
Caesar
Salad—crisp
romaine
lettuce,
delicate
Parmesan,
tangy
and
creamy
dressing—
was
completely
absent.
It
was
a
typical
garden-variety
salad,
severely
lacking
in
character
and
completely
misrepresenting
my
order.
Additionally,
my
order
was
missing
a
significant
component
–
the
rice.
This
was
more
than
an
oversight
from
the
kitchen,
it
turned
my
supposedly
hearty
meal
into
an
incomplete
one.
The
atmosphere
of
the
restaurant
failed
to
bring
any
semblance
of
redemption.
It
was
noticeably
uncomfortable
and
came
off
as
rather
disorganizing,
leaving
much
to
be
desired.
What
has
left
a
permanent
sour
taste,
more
than
the
food,
was
the
subpar
treatment
from
two
members
of
the
staff,
William
and
Sheila.
Their
demeanor
was
far
from
acceptable,
lacking
basic
etiquettes
of
hospitality,
and
their
interactions
escalated
the
regrettable
experience
even
further.
Dining
out
is
supposed
to
be
an
enjoyable
experience,
fulfilling
in
terms
of
both
food
and
service;
however,
my
recent
visit
to
this
Portuguese
restaurant
was
everything
but
that.
Your
time
and
money
are
better
invested
elsewhere.
Disappointing
is
not
strong
enough
of
a
word
to
describe
this
total
letdown.
