Lareira Restaurant

The restaurant is quiet and the décor is unique, but the prices are on the higher side. The $47 seafood stew was especially disappointing — the portion was very small, and all the seafood was overcooked to the point where the texture became quite tough. The snails also did not taste fresh. Overall, the environment is clean and peaceful, making it a nice place for small gatherings. However, most of the dishes were overly salty, and the seafood wasn’t very fresh. Ironically, the best thing we had was the bread.

Been coming here for years! It’s a family owned business and so you feel the extra TLC. Food, service and ambience are EXCEPTIONAL!

Pedro and his staff are top notch! When we’re in NY this is our place to enjoy a great meal with the old fashioned feel due to the dining room decor. Now the food review. Nothing here will disappoint you. Everything is cooked to perfection and like it just came off a boat or farm. We were in NY for 3 days and we ate here 3 times. The steak sandwiches for lunch are to die for. The bread is beyond fresh. Order a double espresso and sit back with a chocolate mousse dessert. Thank you Pedro & his amazing staff for always providing a wonderful experience. See you soon!

The Food Was Very Tasty And Fresh 🇵🇹 Everything Was Authentic From The Complementary Bread To The Main Dish Even The Plates Are Like Back In Portugal‼️ Also The Vibes And Ambiance Were Very Laid Back Very Calm And A Very Humble Feel I’ll Definitely Be Putting This Spot In My Restaurante Rotation

Been here twice: Once before COVID with my co-workers, once after COVID with my family. I seem to remember the food being quite a bit better the first time. For my second visit, I ordered the Bacalhau a Narcisa. That was a mistake. I wish I'd ordered the Bacalhau Assado na Brasa instead. Though constantly picking bones out of my meal aside, the fish itself was pretty bland. My brother also thought his meal was bland (he ordered the Paelha). He didn't even want to take his leftovers home. The restaurant was also uncomfortably warm the whole time. It was a mild day, and yet it didn't feel like the AC in the place was turned on at all. I nearly complained to our waiter. I might be willing to give this place one more shot, but definitely for dinner. And I don't think I'll be going with the
