E BOM! 10/7/2002

Really nice restaurant. Small space with a nice bar, soft lights and candles. It's got a great atmosphere. Food was good and prices are reasonable. Cool place for a date. Service is not great, but since the place is so small they are easy to grab.... The shrimp soup was really good! Plus, they have a nice collection of Port for dessert. more

The BEST Portuguese Restaurant Manhattan has to offer!

Owner Message

  • The proprietors of P?o! (Portuguese for ?bread?) have made a teeny restaurant on an uninspiring corner near the West Side Highway into a simple, singular spot for seafood and Iberian specialties. The animated bartender greets newcomers and chats it up with the locals, happy to steer less-informed imbibers towards his favorite white and red vinhos. Meals begin with buns and traditional Portuguese cornbread, which arrive in a ceramic flowerpot. . Even though the tables are rearranged nightly to match the reservations, P?o!?s space is so limited that there?s a chance of winding up next to strangers at a long communal table. Any walk-ins will likely dine at the bar on the disco-era, goldish vinyl seats which stand out among the dark wood and no-frills decor. ? Kate Appleton
