  • Special thanks to Silva and the team for creating such a great meal for us. They took care of everything and were very professional. They were able to provide a few options for us to choose what would work best for our group!

  • Chef Silva prepared us the best meal we had on our trip to Portugal! He was also a pleasure to talk to and spend time with. The meal was superb - the best oysters I have ever had, delicious ceviche, fish - everything was so good! The sumptuous dessert was the literal cherry on top! And Chef Silva was able to provide gluten free versions of everything for me also. Highly recommend - a very special treat that will make lifelong memories!
