Uma Casa

The sheer amount of noise made conversation very hard but that's the main ding, which isn't bad. The service was good & props to the kitchen for accommodating special requests. Everything quite delicious with a very elegant & modern take on Portuguese food. My short ribs were heavenly & the pasteis de bacalhau was light & crunchy take on the bacalauitos I'm more familiar with. The Arroz de Pato was wonderful, the saltiness of the duck breast injecting a bright note of flavor into the rice fritter.
I highly recommend.

The main reason I wanted to go there was to try their pastéis de bacalhau, traditional Portuguese codfish fritters, caldo verde - Portuguese Green soup, Sardinhas Grelhadas - Grilled Sardines. Pastéis de bacalhau - The texture of bacalhau was so spongy, stringy. What a perfect combination of potato and cod! Potato flavor is not overpowering. it was perfectly juicy cod with well preserved saltiness.
Caldo Verde - as it boils, it gets more intense. hint of sourness, starchiness of potato make your belly warm. It was great starter!
Sardinhas Grelhadas - i love the way they grill(or broil) the fish.
I am not sure if they have Churrasco cooking method.
anyway, I know that one of the hardest thing of grilling Sardine is to get rid of the odor, unpleasant fishy smell from sardine. Sardine that was so meaty, juicy, oily, has lots of grilled flavor.
Arroz De Marisco - Seafood was so freshly good! Unlike Spanish Paella, It is not completely reduced. it is almost like thickened rice and seafood stew. There was so much seafoods - clams, cod, shrimp you can taste in one plate.
Frango piri-piri - it is like more Mozambican food. But It was so remarkable!!
The last but not least, Their aioli is so second to none such as Cilantro aioli, spicy Piri-Pri aioli.

Excellent modern Portuguese cuisine. We were in Portugal for the summer and really missed the food there. Uma Casa really hits the spot for our Portuguese food craving. The pastel de nata was probably as good as it gets in terms of housemade (but it is no match for Pastéis de Belém.

Enjoyed very tasty Portuguese food here. They currently have a prix fixe menu that is very good value. The bacalhau (salted cod fritters), the duck rice fritters and the shrimp were amazing! The arroz de marisco should not be missed. And those pastel denata are just the perfect end to the meal. It got a bit noisy as the restaurant filled up.

They just receive their liquor license and the cocktails are delicious.
You can either choose between a 3 or 4 choice prie fix menu. There were four of us so we were able to try many different items (sorry I forgot to take a pic of the menu!) and they were all wonderful. I highly recommend Uma Casa!

Kind service that was very genuine. There is a wide range of table sizes. We came only for drinks and dessert at the end of a night out and it was great. We want to come back for the prix fixe menu another night. It looks like a great deal and many people around us looked like they were enjoying their time. I like that they have a smaller wine menu but all the glass selections were great

Food was ok. I haven't been to Portugal but as an experienced cook and frequent diner, the seven dishes that we shared were nothing special. The noise level was deafening. The three of us had to lean into the table to hear one another. On the plus side, the orange olive oil cake was quite good and the passion fruit sorbet served with it was terrific. We won't be returning.

Uma Casa was a wonderful dining experience! The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. The porter house steak is perfect for two people, just make sure to order extra of the butter dipping sauce. We also really liked the appetizer selection, which has an excellent assortment of Portuguese tasters.

Wow. Nearly perfect first meal there last night. Started with the arugula and shaved cheese salad, really well balanced, simple salad. Next we shared the shrimp turnovers appetizer filled with molten béchamel and a spicy aioli and they were beyond delicious, just such a incredible blend of rich flavors without ever being greasy or overwhelming. For our small plate, we had the grilled octopus and this is a must try, perfectly cooked and accented with some savory veggies. Last but definitely not least, we ended with the salt cod casserole, probably the best version of that dish I've ever had. Rare that every single dish was a hit but that was the happy case here. Service was friendly and well paced. Ambience was energetic but warm.

Highly recommended.

The extremely loud noise level in this restaurant ruins an otherwise terrific experience. The food is excellent, the drinks and wines are tasty, and the service is good. However, we had to almost shout to hear each other at our table of four people. The decibel level was so high that I had a headache and ringing ears when I left the restaurant. We really enjoy the food, but we won't go back because we can't enjoy conversation with our friends. We've been to this restaurant 2-3 times because we really liked the food, but it's so loud that my primary recollection from last night was not how good the food was, but the cacophonous noise level, making it an overall unpleasant experience
