I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mar Belo Portuguese Restaurant/Lounge and I must say, it was an experience to remember. The red wine braised oxtail was soft and flavorful, melting in my mouth with every bite. The paella was rich in ingredients yet light in taste, a perfect balance that left me wanting more. The jumbo shrimp was slightly spicy, making it a great dish to share with friends or family.
The atmosphere was quaint and inviting, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. I was particularly impressed by the excellent service and the variety of seafood options. The halibut, I heard, is off the charts! On Thursdays, they even have a twin lobster night, a nice option for seafood lovers. The appetizers, especially the Jumbo Shrimp Piri Piri and Polvo A Espanhola (octopus), were excellent. The bread and olives served were a nice touch.
To top it all off, I indulged in the Mar Belo Chocolate Ecstasy for dessert. A chocolate molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, it was truly decadent. The cappuccinos were the perfect end to the meal. The restaurant also offers gluten-free options and has convenient parking spots nearby. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommended for a relaxed dining experience with good service and consistently good food.
