    I loved the new decor, and the food is delicious.  Start with tapioca cubes, then Filet Mignon with Risotto. As dessert, Dulce de Leche Lava Cake. Excellent attendance.

    The food was decadent. Perfectly made with a true touch of home. The ambiance was welcoming and the service was beyond any expectation. They treat you as if you are part of the family but in an elegant manner seldom seen. Thank you for the great experience!

    We were a group of 25 celebrating my sister's 90th birthday yesterday afternoon at Tony's. We had the party package including 10 hot and cold appetizers, a choice of several main courses and a dessert table . package also included ALL hot and cold drinks, except hard liquor at a very reasonable price. Everything from food to service was terrific. When I saw Tony, the owner, we reminisced about when I had visited with my late dad nearly 50 years ago and he was kind enough to add a beautiful fruit platter to the desserts. Even though we needed to postpone the party for an hour, we were never rushed and my sister was treated like royalty. Thank you for a memorable experience.

    Absolutely beautiful in the inside. Delicious soup, entrees, and desserts and reasonably priced. You get large portions. Our waiter was absolutely phenomenal , very friendly and very helpful. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Definitely a place to try if heading back from the airport or if in the area.

    I liked the food here. It was very good. I would recommend the sangria. It was very refreshing especially now during the hot summer temperature.

  • 1/5 Maria M. 2 years ago on Google
    I could not believe that some Portuguese outdated places still use UNCLE Ben's Rice, the Bitoque is suppose to have Spanish fries, they had long frozen regular french fries, Sangria was not so bad.

    We just had our son’s baptism party here tonight and it was such an amazing experience that I had to come on here and post this review! The food was delicious. The drinks were plentiful and the service top notch! Highly recommend this place for all occasions. Doesn’t disappoint! Vidal (owner) and his family treated us like their family. Will be back soon!

    Stop! DON'T eat here! They cross contamination w food, don't clean the kitchen and will serve you rotten food! Plus they abuse they employees, don't let them eat or use the toilet, and if they are women they won't pay the same as man! They discriminate against women! NAO COMA aqui! Servem comida podre e tratam os empregados muito mal, e descriminan contra as mulheres! They must be paying well the inspection, cuz no way they would continue w doors open with the dirt they have in that kitchen! Horrible food

    Amazing food and great service. I have frequent this restaurant for many years now I honestly say I have never been disappointed.

  • 5/5 Ward P. 2 years ago on Google
    The four of us ate here after the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert last night. As always .... EXCELLENT.... the freshest of seafood... the finest of service. Sangria and desserts to die for. I had to laugh when the waiter asked “what part of Portugal my family was from?” We all laughed when I said the North Yorkshire part! I am in Ironbound a lot , and this is a MUST DO for any occasion.

    Waiter was very considerate and really nice. Unfortunately, the food was not good at all. Our steaks were not cooked accordingly, the type of cut was wrong and the overall quality of the meat was very bad. I wish I could’ve taken a picture of the food but just ate what I could and moved on. I heard great things about this restaurant but I will not be coming back here again.
