O'Manel Restaurant

Terrific dinner.
The Portuguese Steak was perfect, Pork & Shrimp special was spot on. To say the portions were generous, would be an understatement. Order an appetizer, good food takes time. Enjoy their Sangria while you wait. Your patience will be rewarded. The service was perfect.
Friendly and attentive without being intrusive.
Catherine was wonderful. The atmosphere is casual & very friendly.
The dining room off the bar is small and intimate.
It can be a bit loud but that a sign the primarily Portuguese clientele are having a good time. A good place to gather with family and friends Good for date night, maybe not the most romantic, but certainly fun. People are friendly and acknowledging with a nod and a smile. You get a sense of what a small neighborhood in Portugal must be like Easy and convenient right off 95. GO! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Wanted to try something new! My first Portugese restaurant.
I love how they have a bar, restaurant, and venue.
All together but separate.
We started with a red Portugese wine.
It was so tasty and they gave a great pour! For my entree I ordered the Peito de frango mocombique - which is chicken breast served in a spicy sauce.
The sides were rice and French fries.
The chicken was not spicy at all but it was moist and very flavorful.
The ff and rice were really good too.
Would definitely order this dish again.
My friend ordered the bacalhau a bras - which is COD fish Braz style.
It was chopped up and served with egg and sautéed onions.
It was tasty! Could of used more seasoning or salt.
But she did enjoy it! The restaurant itself is beautiful and calm.
The server was great! We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.

So delicious Portuguese food! We ordered steak and salad.
Fresh bread with butter on the side and a beautiful table setup welcomed us, along with fresh, real flowers.
We ordered calamari as an appetizer, and while I didn't think I would eat much, all those smells made me so hungry right at the start! Although we only had water, they have sparkling water, tea, espresso, wine, and many other drinks to accompany your meal.
Our steak came on a hot stone rack.
(tip: call ahead if you order a hot rack because the stone takes about 25 minutes to heat prior to your meal.
We did and it worked out perfectly!) The steak is raw and you can add fresh garlic, rock salt, and lemon to the steak as it cooks, slice it as you prefer until desired temperature and eat right away.
The salad was delicious too, raw onions and olives with the pit (Portuguese style you can't taste anywhere else) to accompany the typical house salad toppings and olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing, and white rice like no other I've tasted (and I eat lots of rice, as Japanese and Asian cuisine are my favorite and good for the skin).
To split between 2, you'll both feel full and have leftovers! Finished off with a orange pekoe black hot tea.
Can't wait to come back and eat everything else :)
