Our waitress Beatrice was amazing as well as the food. I’m not Portuguese (I’m Irish lol) and she made me feel so welcome. She even held my daughter who is almost 1.5 years old cause my daughter kept reaching for her! Kind soul.My food was phenomenal as well but Beatrice was AWESOME!!!!!! Highly recommend. I had shrimp Mozambique.

First of, we had a bad experience going to the restaurant today, actually it was our first and last time that we went there. There was a lot of noise, the waitress was lost and the food wasnt that we expected. Unfortunately after shared our bad experience with the owner we havent at least heard that Im sorry what we can do better in order to see you satisfied. To sum up, we do not recommend this restaurant.

Nasty restaurant with nasty people. They swear in Portuguese thinking you dont understand them. Very rude I had my little kids with me who understand Portuguese. I guess they think no one understands them.

I have been doing all my special events at Primavera/Spring since I got married almost 26 years ago I had my wedding reception there all my kids Baptism parties and my grandkids Baptisms. In October we had my grandsons Baptism there and I spoke with the owner about having my daughters wedding there. Carminda the owner said yeah sure I will mark it down on the calendar and as long as I had 180 people I could have the private room. Fast forward to May 2021 covid is over and restrictions are lifted all of a sudden they no longer want to do private events on Saturday night so my choices were to change the wedding date to a Friday or Sunday if I wanted it private or to have it not private which was unacceptable because I already had the church, photo booth, DJ and Photographer booked so that left me to look for another venue 4 months before the wedding. I feel that they were very unprofessional if they had changed their policy they should have at least honored the commitments they already had booked. Maybe been a little apologetic or offered a discount for the inconvieniece but nope nothing. We had a 26 year friendship that they just flushed down the toilet. I will NEVER give them another Penny of our money. We did find another Venue that we booked today, Thank God because it was very short notice but with a little determination we are back on track with the wedding planning. When I posted this on Facebook she lied and pretty much blamed me that I didnt put down a deposit my mother and I offered to give her a deposit it contract but because she said no need until I called her out on Facebook. She is full of shut!! my brother just had his sons baptism there he signed no contract she is just trying to deflect the blame away from her and her restaurant. If your thinking of having an event at this restaurant save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere.

This is the place to go for true orthentic Portuguese Food this is the place to eat. I have visited this place over the years and continue to go. The quality of food speaks for itself. From seafood to beef they know how to prepare it perfectly. The Owners treat you as family. This is one of the best places to eat They offer a banquet hall that is the perfect size for all of you and your family to enjoy. Love this place.

We order our food and waitied an hour to get our food. Once we got it there was a misunderstanding in the dish and refused to exchange it. They even argued with us about our needs and understandings. Very disappointed WOULD NOT RECCOMEND

Good food and atmosphere. The planned party menu is really good and the food was pretty fresh with great service. They pack the place in pretty good, but Im assuming that keeps prices reasonable.

Went for a graduation party. Function area is spacious with nice decor. Not sequestered from public dining area though (unless you reserve enough seats I suppose). Stage and dance floor for live music. Food was delicious, traditional Portuguese fare. Small bar area with television in front. Overall had a good experience here.

I got the Portuguese steak. It was medium instead of medium-rare, as ordered. Aside from that, the large portions were amazing and it was really good.

My parents frequent this place, and Ive been here for many types of parties/functions throughout the years. It serves fine Portuguese cusine from the classic Portuguese steak to some codfish and all in between. It has a dinning hall with a stage and dance floor located on one side. On the other there is a bar with more seating.

I ordered paella but got stuffed shrimp because staff member thought I was pointing at stuffed shrimp on the menu. I wish she asked more questions to make sure she got the order correct. I did not enjoy the stuffed shrimp. It came with steamed vegi and fries. I didnt drive 30 min for that meal. However, staff member was friendly. I went just just before opening the restaurant,so I got my food quick. Resturant look nice.I am not sure I would go back.

I noticed a sign on sidewalk outside Spring Primavera offering clam boils to go. Ive been in the mood for one so I called. It was $21.50 (including tax). For that price I received 2 dozen steamers, 1 large potato, 2 pork sausages, 2 hotdogs, 1 onion, and 1 piece of chourico (about 4 inches long).They put it in an aluminum casserole container that broth was also poured into, and covered it with aluminum foil. When I got home I poured the broth in a large 16 oz cup, took the steamers out of the shells and placed them in the broth. I heated this in the microwave for just about a minute so the broth with the steamers would be hot. The broth was a little salty but not too bad, and seasoned with red pepper flakes. Everything was cooked very well. There was a little sand (otherwise I wouldve given 5 stars) on the bottom of my broth but not too much. I am now satiated!

Food was awesome! Need more fresh bread. Not rebaked crust...but thats my preference. Experience was a little different from my past. The waitress seemed too eager to take our order while we were not ready and it was weird that she pushed because it was a Saurday afternoon and there was only one other table of people in the restaurant. I will return...food was incredible!

Horrible service, I think it’s a job requirement to be rude in order to work here. From start to finish this place was rude as h3ll! Had a baptism and they wouldn’t do chicken tenders because they said I had “too many kids” (21 kids), I would have to be charged full price for chicken tenders and fries! I called to give a count and the guy who answered told me to call back “because he was busy”, then the lady calls saying I never called to give a count. They kept telling the kids to sit down so I took them to the stairs area so they were out of the way and another employee comes to tell them not to touch the curtain, the owner tells me to move guests from a table so there were less tables so I do and the other waiter comes with drinks to that table and I told him no we don’t need it here and he says well it’s too late, I already put them down. They were constantly on the kids about everything, they are kids! They will never get my business again! I rather pay more money then have my guests feel uncomfortable. Many guests were complaining about how rude they were.I write a review on their Facebook page and rather than trying to correct the problem or just take it on the chin, the owner CALLS me the next day and tells me to get my facts straight and if I want kids to hang on curtains to have them hang on mine at home. Then hangs up the phone on me. (They were not even hanging on the curtains as I was the one with them and there were only 3 of the kids in that area!) Rude A$$ b!tch! Never ever again will I step foot in that place!Addendum: (3 days after party) I received a missed call from an unknown number so I call the number back and it was the owner of the restaurant calling me again from her personal phone and she just hung up. If they dont like what you have to say they will harass you.

Best family style Portuguese food and family who owns the restaurant are amazing

Review №55

In 2018 there are plenty of banquet halls owned by those who treat customers and other local family owned businesses with respect. Not the case here. I was personally screamed at in broken English by a man who claimed to be an owner when I asked to speak with one. He didn’t give a name. All around DEPLORABLE customer service which is a shame because little did he know I had been inside before and was impressed with the quaint little function room and little bandstand. As someone currently searching for the perfect cozy reception space for my 2019 wedding, I now wouldn’t even consider it. Not if every other local venue burned down. I’d never feel comfortable at a place where men disrespect young women so blatantly and proudly.

Owner was a real Grouch. He was also rude. The drink that I got at the bar was poorly made and grainy with sugar. We were also told that we couldnt use a debit card because we hadnt hit a minimum purchase amount so he had to put an extra tip on my card for himself for making one bad drink and not serving my friend who had ordered a mixed drink that he didnt know how to make. Instead of making the drink, he asked if he looked like he was Chinese to her?! Altogether off-putting. Its also a little dingy.

This place provides only one thing, consistency. Its atmosphere can be compared to a Portuguese - cultural - wedding reception. The food is also consistent; consistently mediocre and, sometimes , just awful. Everything is and, frankly, should be, overcooked. If youre into the Portuguese culture, want to get drunk and dance, this place is for you. There are an infinite of other places in the city where the foods better. I personally would suggest Clipper or if you want to spend a llittle less, try OGils.

My friend had already ordered a drink so now we’re stuck.Bill is $7. She gives him her card.Bartender: minimum of $10He ends up with a $3 tip.You can’t make this stuff up.

If I could give this place a -20 I would. My wife asked for grilled cod fish with no sauce on it because she has a cholesterol issue. The waitress showed up with codfish with the orangey yellow sauce on the codfish. My wife told her that she will not be able to eat it because of her high cholesterol and the waitress tried to argue with her and trying to make it like there was no cholesterol in the sauce. We asked her to please get a piece of grilled cod fish with no sauce on it and she said that she would after a five minute long conversation on with the different types of codfish that there are. She came back to the table and said that the owner is going to make her another piece but she would have to pay for the existing piece of cod fish. I tried to explain to her why is my wife having to pay for codfish that shes not going to eat. Her answer to that she was just going to have to pay for it. This place is more worried about making money and actually worrying about someones health. In42 years of life I have never seen anything like this. No integrity in this place or any type of class. This place needs to be boycotted
