We had dinner with friends at the Portuguese Fisherman this past weekend (our first time there). The have a full bar and a nice selection of wines (with reasonable prices).A nice selection of Portuguese dishes. The portion sizes are good and each dinner comes with a small salad, vegetables, potatoes and rice.A nice selection of desserts, and interesting after dinner coffees.The service was very good.

This is a very busy restaurant and catering hall. So, if you are looking for a quiet little candle lit place, this is not it. That said, it's a very nicely decorated, extremely busy restaurant. We did have reservations and were seated immediately. The host was professional and friendly. Our server also greeted us promptly and when we asked for a few minutes to decide on food options he listened and came back - in a few minutes as we asked. I would have rated the restaurant higher, but our server seemed distracted and got two of our four orders wrong. I enjoyed my Broiled Captain's Seafood Combination. I do recommend asking for their saffron rice instead of potatoes. I had the rice and it was good. My wife had the same combination with the potatoes and didn't like them - said they were just plain boiled potatoes. The seafood was good, but the shrimp was a little overdone. The portion sizes were large for the cost. Everything tasted fresh and good. The clams, mussels and shrimp are in the shell. Our friends had different dishes and said that theirs was also good. We shared a pitcher of Red Sangria. It was very good, but a bit strong with some kind of alcohol for my taste (it might have been the brandy or Triple Sec they used, but I stopped at one glass - which is just not like me). Full bar at this restaurant and reservations on busy nights is a must.I do recommend it and would go back again for good Portuguese seafood.

I'm not a big fan of this chain to begin with and tonight maintained my opinion of it. I've been to the one in the Bridgewater area and had much better experience there. I sat at the bar and the male bartender seemed to be cranky and not very sociable at all. Thank God there was a 2nd bartender as she was much more on the ball. Food came out fast as it always does but the portions were so tiny I definitely left hungry. The lobster tail was perfect I will say that, but the sides were very tiny portions that the meal wasnt worth the $17.9 cost. Oh well. This was a gift card I received so I should be able to use up the balance on the next visit and not have to worry about ever coming back.

I called Ponte Vecchio hoping to make reservations for a small but momentous family celebration that was somewhat last minute. Julie helped me to navigate through the process, arranging for us to bring our champagne to be chilled, ordering a cake for the occasion and making florist suggestions. Upon arrival, we were placed at a table that was in a great location for our 10 member group that included 3 children. The wait staff were all helpful and attentive. The chef, Anthony DiRocco, created amazing appetizers and dinner entrees that were suitable to all present. There were even gluten free selections on the menu, which I was grateful for.The strawberry shortcake that I had arranged for at Julieâs suggestion, was a hit with adults and children.I would highly recommend choosing Ponte Vecchio. I suggest making a reservation as the dining room became very busy for a Wednesday night. And it is Bring your Own- so purchase a nice bottle or red (or white) or maybe champagne, and enjoy.

The wait was not long and were seated faster than we were told. Our server was great and very attentive. It's crabfest, the food was great, I was hoping for a bit more for the price paid. The soup was on the cold side. But all in all a good meal

Recently dined there with a small group of about a dozen friends. The food was excellent and well-prepared. The service was exceptional, the waiters were attentive and helpful. Prices were reasonable considering the more than ample portions served.
