    As simple as THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN TERMS OF PRICE / QUALITY IN BOSTON.
    I have been living in Boston for about 8 years but am originally from Barcelona.
    Unfortunately in this city, most meals that are decent will cost you roughly +$30 and not always including a beverage.
    After long waiting, I'm happy to say that I've found this gem in the heart of Cambridge.

    Few restaurants in the U.S.A. match Faialense Sport Club's blend of authenticity, quality and price. Having recently been to the Azores we were eager to try the food here and we were not disappointed. This may be my favorite place in all of Boston.
    This is a wonderful place to go with groups, but the service can be slow, which shouldn't bother you as the conversation will be lubricated by the very reasonably priced wine.
    Also, make sure you bring cash, cards are not accepted.

    Great place for Portuguese food and socializing. Came for the weekly Friday night dinner. Food was amazing, can not go wrong with seafood platters and the Sangria. Staff was friendly and inviting!

    Heard so much about this place and finally got to try it! Open only Thursday and Friday--it really isn't a restaurant! Food was great. Husband wasn't a fan of his steak, but I absolutely loved my seafood casserole and the mussels and fish cakes we got for appetizers. Also, be prepared to WAIT, and have food served whenever. My seafood casserole was last to be served and was served a good 45min after the first entree appeared. That's usually not OK with me, but the food was well worth it. We were there for 3+ hours, just eating, with no drinks. So, waiting is a thing here.

    Excellently authentic Portuguese food with lots of fresh seafood options. It's all about the good food at great prices. $10-$15 for a wide array of entrees and specials. Drinks are incredibly affordable!!

    The ambiance is charming and old. The room is like a old style dining hall with folding tables and plastic table cloths. Lots of Portuguese families sharing a meal together. It's fun!
