Like another reviewer we used a Restaurant.com certificate to make this a very thrifty evening. Our server could not have been more gracious and the food was excellent. Portions are large so my husband and I shared mussels, a wonderful tricolor salad and an excellent paella. We enjoyed the red sangria served by the glass or pitcher and finished with dessert and very good coffee.

Arrived w reservations seeking a quiet table. We had our choice because of the hour. Ordered our Cosmo and Martini, prepared as requested, perusing menu and considered specials. Shortly after a couple arrived. The gent immediately asked that ac be lowered and proceeded to talk very loud the entire time. Another couple joined them and his banter was so continuously loud that we asked to change our table to the opposite end of dining area. Waitstaff were genuine in accommodating. (People complain about children in restaurants...he surpassed them and should know better!)So the dinner:Hearty bread, roll, butter and red pepper sprinkled cured olives on table Appetizers: clams casino, empanadas...two each of shrimp*, beef, chickenGratis plate of potato chipsMain: branzino* simply grilled and bone removed table side, mariscado verde...shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels but lobster was but a bite and shell tail empty...nice verdeSides: excellent seasoned fluffy rice, steamed potato and vegsDessert: MolotovAs we left dining room filled more, and an adjacent room was truly filling with young adults enjoying an evening out. Good sign!Fine service.

LISBON CAFE is a total vacation in your mouth. The food is exciting, the menu has plenty of choices for everyone and surprising many entrees reflect a little of Italian influence? So if your family/group of friends can't decide on whether to have meats or seafood, Portuguese cuisine or Italian inspired dishes...you got to try Lisbon Cafe. The weekends are always packed and I try to dine during the week because of that exact reason. No need to huddle with the masses all trying to taste this delicious restaurant. Really it's that good! Check out my pictures and you'll see why. This restaurant is proud of it's Portuguese culture and they are very helpful in wine selection as well as aiding in your choices whatever suits you. A big plus in customer service! I promise you won't leave hungry but so so satisfied. Happy Eating and I'll see you around the tables from time to time!

six of us enjoyed a great lunch here recently. Ambience is unique, our waitress was excellent and made some great food suggestions. Started with shared apps of grilled octopus - delicious and sausage. Followed by a family style salad and then our entrees. Paella was served in it's own pot and tasty! Salmon with mustard sauce was delicious. All were accompanied by a delicious yellow rice (perfectly cooked) and steamed veggies, also served family style. An enjoyable outing!

Not all flame broiled seared meats are the same and this restaurant proves it to the gourmet exclamation mark!!!A true foodies travel destination right off Herricks Blvd where you turn off from Old Country road ends, pass the underpass, look for the colorful roosters right in front! YUm! Their meats are well seasoned, not salty like some other places I've been to. Here you can actually taste the wonderful cuts of meat whether you like them medium rare, medium or to some others who like it cooked a bit longer. For each, whatever floats your boat! It's all GREAT!My suggestion is to go for the AYCE with meats like short ribs, skirt steaks, bacon wrapped turkey chunks, pork ribs, chicken drumsticks, sirloin steaks, pork...you get the idea!House salad, olives, & bread is dropped off at your table so dor those who just can't wait, don't want to order appetizers or just starving(soon you won't be),go right ahead. Rice, potato croquettes, collard greens & broccoli/carrots/stringbeans are brought to your delightfully crowded table. Remember to eat your veggies. Not a date night romantic restaurant but a hearty cozy comfort eating establishment to wear your eating clothes(you know what I mean). So worth it for $33.95 per person. Wife not a carnivorous eater so she had seafood instead. Hey they should do one that's all seafood with it brought out to you in skewers/double swords:-)haha hint hint. Oh well, a foodie can dream too! Happy eating and I'll see you around the tables! The way people are coming in droves to this restaurant they well be around the tables, haha! DELISH!!!

My family loves this restaurant. They usually go there to celebrate happy occasions such as birthdays graduations etc... they love the food here. My mom gets the fish which she loves everyone else gets the all you can eat meat option. The reason I gave this place a four is because I am a vegetarian and had very limited options. I didnât order anything just ate the bread rolls with were delicious and the salad.
