O'manel - Bridgeport

We had an incredibly delicious dinner experience! It all started with the flaming chorizo, which was a fantastic appetizer. The children ordered chicken dishes, and for the second time, I enjoyed my filet meal—it was outstanding. The beautiful waitress and her colleagues made us feel like family. We will definitely return on our next visit to Connecticut!

We started with the "ameijoas à bulhão pato" as an appetizer, and it was a delight! The Portuguese bread they served was perfect for soaking up every bit of the creamy sauce. To my surprise, the sauce contained cilantro; I usually expect parsley in Portuguese dishes, but it was flavorful without being overpowering. For the main course, my partner had grilled bacalhau with potatoes and vegetables on the side, while I chose one of the specials that featured a variety of seafood in a tomato sauce, served with white rice. We ended the meal by sharing a flan and enjoying espresso, which was the perfect conclusion to this delightful dining experience. The portion sizes were generous, and the atmosphere was charming. We definitely plan to return and hope that Lisa will be our server again.

The server was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the menu to my companion, who primarily speaks Spanish. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. The dining area was clean and cozy, and it wasn't crowded when we arrived at 5:30 on a Friday. However, the sound of singing from the bar next door was a bit unsettling. That said, it's nice that the areas are separated, making it just a quirky addition to the overall atmosphere.

So delicious Portuguese food! we ordered steak and salat. fresh brot with butter on the side and a beautiful table setup welcomed us, along with fresh, real flowers. we ordered calamari as an appetizer, and while I didn't think I would eat a lot, all these smells made me so hungry at the beginning! Although we had only water, they have foam water, tee, espresso, wein and many other drinks to accompany their meal. our steak came on a hot stone carrier. (tip: call them when they order a hot rule because the stone takes about 25 minutes to heat before their meal. we did it and it worked perfectly! the steak is raw and they can add fresh garlic, stone salt and lemon to the steak as it boiled, they cut it as they prefer to the desired temperature and eat it immediately. the salad was also delicious, raw tweepering and olive with the scrub (Portuguese style they can not taste anywhere else to the typical house salad tips and olive oil and rednessig dress, and white rice like no other I tasted (and I eat much rice, because both Japanese and Asian kitchens are my favorite skin and have all the rest of my skin to eat.

I ordered the Salmon with vegetables and I loved it. Service was good too. I haven't tried any drinks yet here. Maybe next time.
