"We are a native Portuguese family and are therefore accustomed to Portuguese cuisine. This was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered in the UK. When asked if the restaurant had Portuguese bread, the waitress very openly admitted that they abandoned conventional Portuguese bread for Tesco alternatives. The bread in question was not bad but it was terrible to hear they didn’t have authentic Portuguese breads available. As an alternative we were offered ciabatta. The selection of foods available on the menu were good. We weren’t alarmed by the high prices as authentic Portuguese restaurants in the UK have a tendency to be a bit pricey. But you pay for authenticity. This was not the case. When the food arrived we noticed the side dishes potatoes, rice, and vegetables were from a packet. Conventionally potatoes are boiled so we were surprised to see Aunt Bessie’s with a touch of seasoning presented to us. The rice is without question from a pack maybe uncle bens or tilda which is pitiful to say the least. The products that were fresh within our meal featured meat and fish. These were average at best. Fish was over cooked, and the steaks were undercooked. Considering the establishment employs Portuguese people it’s embarrassing that they aren’t bothered to cook fresh food. Having said that the place is beautiful and very well decorated, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dishes are presented very nicely it’s a shame the freshness and quality isn’t there. Needless to say we will not be returning to this establishment and I’m sorry but I couldn’t recommend anyone go there either."

First time at this restaurant tonight and we could not have been happier. The food was amazing , the atmosphere was great and the staff were so friendly. I would highly recommend a visit to O Calhau if you are looking for a couples night or even a family get together.

My friends recommended this restaurant, and it was my first time eating here. The food was amazing, but the place was very busy and cramped. This is great for their business, but if you prefer more space, it might not be ideal for you. I would definitely recommend booking a table in advance. The food was fantastic once again!

A friend took me to this restaurant, O Calhau . O Calhau in Portuguese means The Stone . A woman served us, and my friend told me she owned the restaurant! The owner may think she holds a Michelin Star restaurant, but to be honest, she is far from it. The menu is very confusing and messy, and it 's very priced up compared to the other restaurants that I have been to Her attitude and customer service skills towards us were disgusting and appalling, and she doesn 't care about you! She may have a brain made of Calhau ; it may be the reason for the restaurant 's name! It was the worst experience that I had in a restaurant. I feel sorry for the staff of this restaurant. Honestly, you will never...

The food was decent, which is why I gave this restaurant 3 stars. However, the welcome we received upon entering was quite cold. When my friend, her young son, and I asked for a high chair, it seemed like an inconvenience to the staff. Despite us being the only customers there during lunch time, they felt the need to rearrange tables and chairs, creating a lot of noise that made it difficult for us to have a conversation. The owner of the restaurant started shouting at someone, which made us feel uncomfortable. Our plates were not cleared away even though we had finished eating, and when we wanted to split the bill, we were told it wasn't possible because of the card machine. Overall, the la...
