Family and I stopped by this spot for dinner, and wow--what a lively scene! The place was packed, but the energy was infectious, not overwhelming.The staff? Super friendly and on top of everything, even with the crowd.The food didn't disappoint either--flavorful, fresh, and just the right amount of indulgence for a great night out.And the décor? A perfect mix of urban and chic, which added to the buzzing vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Food is great. Very tasty. But they were not staffed to handle the lunch crowd from the big influx of nearby convention attendees. It was a long wait to get seated even though the table we were eventually seated at was available from the time we arrived. The food took a long time to be served. That caused some anxiety and some of us even missed their next conference session. To have enough for everyone, be sure to order 1.5 - 2 dishes per person.4 stars for the yummy food. 2 stars for the long wait.The staff was friendly. But they were over loaded.

Four of us went early dinner yesterday. This is our first visit there.We ordered Steamed Clam / Shrimp with Garlic Sauce / Roasted Octopus / Duck Rice / Cod Fish A Bras / Flamed Chorizo / Cheese Bread ....Every dishes were just Okay, except Roasted Octopus was really tender and good. Surprised us was, we done eating and soup came! Over all we thought compare of the quality, too expensive.

To set the mood, we were there with 3 other friends of ours who were visiting from out of town and we all agreed to try something new. Ambience: The place is OK from the standpoint of ambience - nothing special.Service: This place had awful service. I will give you an example - I ordered a Mojito at the top of our dinner and then 25 mins later the drink shows up. I would say our server was not that helpful (he was not rude and he was nice).Food: This is where I think the biggest mismatch is from the standpoint of my 3-star rating here vs. a potential 4-star. The price of the meal was exorbitant ($692.04 including tip and taxes). Here is what we orderedSharables: Three of my friends shared these---------------------------------------------------------------- - Cheese Bread- Cheese Platter: Good assortment but not great.- Baby Carrots: These were "OK"- Mushroom Rice: This tasted good.- Meat Croquettes: This was the best one out of the bunch- Shrimp Fritters- Scallops- PrawnsDinner: Me and another friend got the Valentine special--------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Salad: The salad that was the first course* Main course: Mahi Mahi with mashed potatoes and asparagus - This was "OKAY" but not great considering it cost $75* Desert: this came with the Valentine's special but the five of us shared it- Flan: This was the best part of the meal. I would get it.- Chocolate Mousse: This was good.All in all, I will say go if you want to try it but I will not be returning here.

Came in with positive expectations that this place will deliver food similar to Portugal. Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was so-so. We were seated quickly after entering since we had a reservation. On a Friday, on Valentine's Day, the dining if room was at 60% capacity when we were seated. It took a while before someone came to fill our waters and ask us if we had questions about our menu. When we finally ordered, the food was churned out very quickly... pretty much all at once with the exception of Bacalhau à Brás (which came out when the rest of our food was done). So pacing of the meal felt rushed. Food: in general, all the food came out room temperature. This tells me that the food was cooked and was sitting on the counter for a while before it was brought to the table. Not sure why because the restaurant wasn't at full capacity yet. Flavors of each item was good. Vegetables had a good char to them. Beef tongue was tender. Dislikes: The Chouriço was burnt. Since the sausage was already cooked, and the flame was for show, I was surprised to see that the ends of sausage end was blackened when it came out. The Bacalhau à Brás was way too salty. And it came out at the very end of the meal. The rest of our dishes had already cleared. The pastel de nata could be warmed up a touch. That would have made a huge difference. Service: not attentive. I felt like where we sat, it was difficult to get the attention of the server. We asked one server who took our order for dessert, for the check two times. Never brought us the check. Asked another server who cleared our dishes away...we also asked him several times for the check. Overall: a cute place for date night. Food seasoning, temperature of food, and service could improve.

Petiscos has a fantastic space suitable for a casual dinner or a special occasion. The best dish was hands down the duck fried rice. Really good flavor, although quite oily. The portions, however, are ridiculously small. Food is meant to be shared, but dishes are nowhere near large enough to do so. Price point is quite high as other reviews have pointed out. It was difficult to flag down service to order more food. Multiple servers came by our table to ask the same things, so I think the restaurant needs to have a better system amongst staff. Our server was fantastic at the table though. The fabled egg tarts were only ok -- I wish they were fresher and had less cinnamon. Tasted almost like an Apple pie.

This place is excellent. Cool vibe, great service, and amazing drinks. Tapas style food, so come with a few people and order different things. Our favorites were the rice and the octopus. Everything had good flavor and was perfectly prepared.

My friends and I were hanging around nearby at another venue, but their kitchen was closed for the night. They did allow us to bring outside food, so we looked around and found this place nearby that was open. Ordering was simple from their website and pick up was easy as well.Codfish Cakes: My one friend and I split this between us and it was really delicious. The fish was flaky and the batter was fried perfectly for me. No sauce was needed to eat with this and I would get this again.Meat Croquettes: This was rather interesting for me. There was a fair amount of meat in the small croquette and the sauce did bring some tanginess to the starter. Yet, I couldn't quite put my finger on whether I truly like this or not. It could just not be my thing due to the texture of the meat.Steak Sandwich: This was a delicious steak sandwich. Has it medium, so the redness was still there and cooked perfectly for me. The bread was not too soggy with the juices from the steak and it was quite filling with the fries. Truly would get this again.Overall, I would consider coming here and sitting down. My other friend got the Francesinha, and that looked very tempting to try

My first time dining here was nothing short of perfection--the food and service were amazing. I left knowing I'd be back soon. However, my second visit was a different story. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a dinner date and we ordered the same dishes as last time: cheese bread, duck rice, flamed chorizo, beef tongue, and oven-roasted octopus. We were looking forward to reliving our amazing first experience with Petiscos. Unfortunately, most of the dishes were extremely salty--I couldn't even pair them with the duck rice to balance out the flavors. That alone made it hard to enjoy our meal. On top of that, service was oddly slow despite the restaurant being half-empty. I came home that night and ended up with a pretty rough tummyache. I'm quite disappointed with the consistency of Petiscos. Given my poor second experience and the steep prices, it's unlikely I'll return.

Delicious food, clean & cozy ambiance, not expensive but the downside is the portions are too small. I didn't love my service , we waited long periods of time to find and call over our waiter a couple times. Regardless, the food was REALLY great and a very diverse menu. I noticed they're great for accommodating medium- large parties. I didn't picture the mixed berry bread pudding, but as someone who doesn't like bread pudding , it was very good.
