Leão d'Ouro

Food was pretty good. Had traditional Portuguese mixed seafood. The sauce was good. Also had a steak. Asked for medium, but it was done well. Steak flavor was good, but a little drier than I prefer. Waiter seemed to know a lot of the patrons, who I assumed were regulars. That made it hard to get his attention for refills.

Amazing and authentic Portuguese dining experience. Excellent food and friendly staff. Have been multiple times over the years, including for large family events and we have never been disappointed.

Food was ok. Beef a casa was disappointing. Beef was over cooked, fried egg was sloppy and missing the white, the chips were bearable. Honestly, it's my second visit and I will not go back. No heat or hot water in the bathrooms. Staff seems angry all the time. Deserts crappy and way overpriced. The water was also overpriced. Actually, all meals were overpriced. Stay away, they are price gouging.

It was my mother-in-laws 80th birthday and my wife and I decided to take her to your so called authentic Portuguese restaurant. Both my wife and mother-in-law are from Portugal and we were all looking forward to some authentic Portuguese food at a, what we thought a high end restaurant. This restaurant is a 2 trying to be a 8. Firstly what they show on their website as prices is not what they show on the menu when you get there. More then a $10.00 difference. The waitress we had told us they just changed the prices a week ago. We asked if the owner would honor his website prices but no honor. We ordered three glasses of wine and placed our dinner order. She slammed three wine stained glasses down on the table and we never saw her again the entire time we were there. There was a male waiter that was serving the table beside us and we observed some very strange behavior. I'm guessing he thinks he is a smellier because he poured some wine into a customers glass, swirled it around and shoved his nose into the customers glass touching his lip. Then he gave the glass to the customer. Ever heard of Covid. If he was a smellier he should have used his own glass. Then he came to our table and said your not having soup so you don't need the soup spoons and rudely removed them from our table. This is proper educate, you never remove settings after the table has been seated. That's just rude. Also I'm guessing the restaurant only has three spoons for the whole place or they didn't want us to dirty them. After an hour waiting for our dinner, it finally arrived. My wife and mother-in-law ordered Beef A Casa and I had sole. Beef A Casa doesn't come with gravy or ham or pickled veggies. The gravy was clearly a powder mix gravy and was so salty it killed everything on the plate. My fish was under cooked and it came with a small cup of rice. I had a salad with my meal and it came with my warm food. Should have come before I got my meal. Propper restaurant educate. In all this place is nothing what it tries to come across as. Like I said a 2 trying to be a 8. Oh yes the washrooms were so cold you could hang meat in there.

I would NOT recommend this place. The food is over salty, no flavor (except salt) if that’s what you like, please go! The food is below standard and way below standard for the price! We had a party of 6, and none of us enjoy our food. The BBQ chicken was ok, the fish, steak were not good! The coffee was not even hot enough to melt 1/2 a pack of sugar! The dessert was runny like water! The meat was swimming in a pool of sauce like a swimming pool because the sauce was watery! I say stay away and go to another place that’s worth your hard earn money and get better experience. Oh the service, was bad. If you want your water glass refilled, ask 10x, if your wine runs out and wanted another one ask 2x… someone may come to you…

We visited this restaurant on Saturday...food was delicious. Service was a little slow, and the waiter was a little rough. Overall, it was amazing...can't wait to go back.

We walk/drive by this restaurant all the time and were always curious about this restaurant as we always see it's packed, even on a weekday. Finally came here for a birthday celebration dinner and was not disappointed. Service was excellent and food was simple but really tasty and good. For a party of six, we opened a bottle of portugese wine, and mussels shrimps to share. They also had six different specials of the day in addition to their la carte menu. Just a wide variety of seafood and fish dishes to select from, and dessert. A note that their seafood platter for two requires an hour to prepare, so better call ahead to reserve. Overall we were just very pleased with our dining experience and would highly recommend.

First time visiting this restaurant, & my expectations were well exceeded! The restaurant itself is pretty small, & there was only one server working the entire restaurant, but she was pleasant & did her best to check on her tables. The starters were great with a basket of bread & a small tray of black olives, cheese, & a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar & red onions to dip. The fish was cooked to perfection & absolutely delicious. Very tender & juicy, & flavourful. We did not feel rushed at all & enjoyed our time here.
