• Great food and service for a reasonable price.
• Long waits on Saturdays.

“I have been a fan for years. The food and service (once seated) have been consistently excellent. The long wait is a testament to this. If you go on a Saturday, go early (before 6:00).”

• Food and sangria are excellent.
• Wait time and service has something to be desired.

“I was at the Portuguese manor on Saturday October 20th. We were a party of 4 arriving at 7pm.we were told it was a 45 minute wait. We did not sit at our table until close to 9:30pm! I feel the hostess knows this and just tells people less time so they hang around and wait. That's awful customer service as far as Im concerned. When we finally sat down it took a while for bread and water. The service was a little slow. The food was excellent. I think the waiting experience would definitely make me think twice of going there again.”

• Great service.
• Got sick from the food.

“The restaurant is located in an undesirable area with poor parking. There is a small lot on the side of the restaurant. You enter through the bar and then enter the cramped dining area. The service is very good and at first so is the food. I had the veal served with rice and chips. The veal which should be very tender was like shoe leather and the portion size could fill a thimble. There was plenty of rice and chips but it was hard to find the veal. Three hours after the meal I had a bad case of diarrhea so the food handling is not the best. So, this will be my first and last visit to the Portuguese Manor. Also, it is very loud in the restaurant; you almost have to yell to be heard.”

• The food was very good and we would go back again, and would wait.
• We would not wait two and half hours for dinner.

“On Saturday night (2/24), we were a party of four. Reservations for groups of less than 6 is not accepted. This was our first time, however the other couple had been there several times before. We arrived at 7PM and told that we would have an hour wait by the owner/hostess. We were able to sit in the bar and have a drink while waiting. The restaurant was extremely crowded with many large groups. We were finally seated Two and a Half hours later at 9:30PM. We all felt it was much too long to wait for dinner and would not have waited if we had known. When we said something to the owner her attitude was not apologetic or even cordial. The bar and dining room were extremely noisy with the large groups making it difficult to converse. The table for four was small to accommodate all the dishes. The food was very good, and would consider trying again possibly but if it is so crowded.”

• Great food.
• Parking can be difficult on Saturday evening. Be prepared to wait on Saturday evenings.

“A great place to dine in Perth Amboy. Delicious cuisine and huge portions. One of my favorite places to dine.”
