I had a small reunion with some friends who I went to high school with in Portugal. It was an absolutely perfect evening; the ambience, the service and of course the food. Everything was wonderful. I will definitely come back.

2024 UPDATE: Tavira’s food continues to be excellent into 2024. My earlier 5-star review stands. We’ve recently enjoyed the steak, the roast duck, a swordfish and saffron sauce special, the bacalao and, as in the past, the calamari and clam/chorizo apps. Recently went with friends, and they loved it, too.

Good food, great service, fantastic birthday dinner!! The (grilled) calamari was arguably the best I've ever had. Although this was my first experience with Portuguese food it definitely will not be my last. Thank you again!!
