Dom Duarte

It was a wonderful experience of epicurean excellence.Small restaurant with great service and culinary art level of earthy bites of home cooking.  We had 4 dishes and all of them were delicious and amazingly prepared.The shrimps appetizer was fresh and seasoned to the best.  The bread was freshly baked, crunchy and hot.  Needless to say, we soaked up every drip of sauce on the plate.The secondi was Mediterranean Sea bass  fillets.  It was meticulously prepared with innovative and tons of flavor.  As our host, Angelo, gave us the run down of this dish, I felt the sense of pride as a father telling you of his son&rsquo;s soccer game.  The fillets were cooked perfectly with crispy skin and tender flaky white juicy meat.  It rested on a hump of delicious seafood pudding, with a careful swipe of garlic aioli on the plate.  A poached cherry tomato sat on a pickled onion bench watching the show to start.  All the while, a purple dusting of red cabbage lightly sprinkled around.  The seafood pudding was a burst of flavor from the ocean, it had good texture and unpretentious.  The pickled onion was a perfect balance to the richness of shrimp and clams.  Then we had the short ribs.  It was a 6-hour braising of a 12-hour marinade cut, The bone-in meat pieces were sat on finely pur&eacute;ed potatoes with a generous portion of rustic black eye peas and wilted cabbage.  Just when we thought we are done with flavor town, Angelo brought over our dessert of Rice pudding. It was beautifully dusted with cinnamon over the not so traditional dessert, a quiet crispy rice paper chip sat proudly on top.  The companion of the ice cream was a traditional arroz doce churned into a delicious ice cream treat.  Very interesting of a show down to be the star of the show.The bill of this lunch was more than fair.  We had a very enjoyable time.

The meat at this restaurant is undeniably excellent &ndash; perfectly cooked and flavorful. The service is fair, and the pricing matches the quality, making it a satisfying overall dining experience.
