Absolute delight of a dining experience. The restaurant was absolutely bustling on a Monday night, and yet they had plenty of space for more people. There was a great atmosphere and good service. Your meal comes with a large house salad and bread which I greatly appreciated. The hot plate dining experience is also a great time, with a fun way to grill your meat to your liking. I enjoyed the surf and turf combo of the filet with shrimp, highly recommend this spot!

Food was good. Bread was kinda hard. The meat was kinda dry. The pasta was kinda watery. Was honestly expecting more from the reviews. But overall if I lived in the neighborhood it’s not a bad place to eat with good prices. Got the meat sample platter so tried a bit of everything. They make the chips at the restaurant which is cool.

Always great food! Never disappoints! If you haven't discovered yet, Valencia restaurant serves an uplifting Portuguese pizza experience! I had the privilege of trying it yesterday for the first time and it was absolutely phenomenal. The regular cheese pie was a symphony of flavors with the sauce and cheese perfectly in harmony. Then, I savored the CR7 Ronaldo pizza, which came with eggs and olives, and it was truly delightful!

Came to Valenca restaurant for date night. Everything was great from the food to the service. The crab cakes is a must try super good. I can't recall the dessert name but it was delicious. Great atmosphere. Will definitely come again and yes i recommend this spot if you around,you won't regret it. Reservations a must.

Our family has been coming to this wonderful Portuguese restaurant for years — for birthdays, family gatherings, and most recently for my wife’s grandmother’s 90th birthday, and again after her peaceful passing for her repass. This place has always held a special meaning for us. The food is consistently delicious — authentic Portuguese flavors, cooked to perfection every time — and the staff could not be more kind or attentive. During such emotional times, they treated our family with warmth, patience, and genuine care, making everyone feel comforted and welcome. It’s rare to find a restaurant that not only serves incredible food but also feels like home. We’re deeply grateful for the memories shared here and will continue coming back for many more family moments. 🇵🇹♥️
