" I cannot stress enough how amazing the chicken dish was! I've personally never tasted anything so well-seasoned. The service was attentive and caring, making sure we had everything we needed. The environment, while it felt more like a bar, added to the experience of enjoying authentic Portuguese food. Highly recommend trying their daily specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my meal at Espresso. The flavors were authentic and reminded me of home. The waitstaff were friendly and eager to help with recommendations. The only hiccup was a little long wait for the food, but it will be hard to keep people away when the dishes are that good! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not what I expected at all. I feel like the food could use some more seasoning, as my chicken was quite bland. Service was fine but no one really checked on us. I appreciate the friendly vibe but wouldn't rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! It's a real treasure for anyone craving authentic Portuguese flavors. The atmosphere is casual with an occasional smoky smell, but the food really shines here. I had the duck dish and it was superb - tender and full of flavor. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped by for a quick bite, and I'm glad I did! The food was delicious and it totally reminded me of my time in Portugal. I particularly enjoyed the variety of seafood dishes available. Fast and courteous service added to the positive experience. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic taste of home. " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint little restaurant serving up some of the best Portuguese dishes around. The seafood paella was a standout, and the portions were ample for sharing. The only downside was the noisy atmosphere during the evening; it might not be the place for a quiet dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Espresso on a Sunday afternoon, hoping for a relaxing meal. However, I found the atmosphere a bit chaotic, possibly due to the sports crowd. The food itself was decent; I particularly enjoyed the garlic shrimp. My only concern was that the portions seemed a little smaller than I remembered from previous visits. Overall, though, I had a nice time but may consider takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)
