The Neighborhood Restaurant

CASH ONLY. Found out after waiting 22 min for a table. What are you going to do? Thank God there is an ATM machine in house but I was sweating worried that I may have to wash dishes after the machine won’t dispense my money after 3 tries… called my bank and retried— 😅 it worked. Machine charged me $1.75 atm service fees but at this point it is whatever… Checked in at 10:07am on that clipboard outside and finally got food on table around 11am. It’s one of those places people don’t mind and ‘feel privileged’ to wait for a spot to dine. There’s nothing wrong having to wait at a popular restaurant but just know this isn’t a get in get out place - especially if you have kids or elderly who may not do well waiting, standing in the cold. They offer free hot chocolate and coffee outside - nice

Super friendly staff and home-y vibes. I love their cream of wheat, it was so delicious and buttery. Not too many places serve cream of wheat. The pancakes and French toast was also really delicious. Recommend 10/10. I went during the week and it was pretty empty.

Super food, super friendly staff, super atmosphere outside in the summer for breakfast. So much good stuff to say. Got the 3 scrambled eggs, with taters and linguica. Delicious. We also had the French toast which was the best we had ever had. Bread seemed so fresh and melted in your mouth. Also had the stuffed strawberry French toast which was awesome. But I like the plain French toast with maple syrup the best just because of the pure flavor. But it was all good. Had cinnamon cream of wheat, fruit cup, sausage links and patty and all was good. Links had a very good flavor to them. They also brought out a basket of buttered toast on fresh bread and a sweet cake like bread. It was so delicious. Everyone was friendly and helpful and loved explaining the Portuguese parts of the breakfas

I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. What a fantastic choice of menu items. The food was executed perfectly. My husband and I ordered the Eggs Benedict with ham and spinach (exceptional hollandaise, very hard to come by. Right on viscosity and flavor), wheat pancakes with fresh berries (the fruit was actually fresh and ripe), Spanish omelette with home fries, and morcella sausage. I really appreciated the small details like the homemade jam that came with the homemade buttered toast, and the mini glass bottle of vermont maple syrup I ordered as a side. Lovely job guys. This place was a real find and I can't wait to order again!

This restaurant is a hidden gem in the city. The grapevine covered courtyard is really lovely in the summer, it’s very pleasant to sit outside in the shade with gentle breeze. Comfortable seating, pleasant and relaxing music. Very good service, fresh and tasty food in generous portions, very reasonable prices. Very good experience overall :-)
