    A table for 10, yes, we made the noise. Nothing to say. Everyone was great and were careful about allergies. Food was good, hot and tasty. I have to say something though. I asked for a Cesar Salad with chicken. I expected more salad and capers and real chicken. It really looked like processed chicken fashioned as a breast. Jason D gave was patient, attentive and courteous. Explained the specials on the menu and service was super. I hope I get him next time I go visit you again.

    One word is enough to always describe our Ferreira Café experience: IMPECCABLE we always start the evening with a glass of white port and then the crispy octopus and the Morue Noire as our main dish- tastefully prepared and presented- the server was very friendly and we made it all the way to dessert delicious pasteis de nata and citrus sorbet - a great evening - we’ll be back no doubt

    The tomato soup with arugula pistou was fabulous. The 9e burger with carmelized onions was very good, and perfectly cooked -- although the charred outside of the burger did not appeal. The service (Destiny) was outstanding! What a treat!
