O Lavrador Restaurant & Bar

Amazing how many hidden gems exist in Queens. Folks venture to this place and experience great food. Great place, great food and lovely staff and , they have parking . Recommend it highly.

I went to dinner last night with my sister to celebrate my birthday and far by it was the greatest experience I had at a restaurant. The staff is very pleasant and checks in on you very often to make sure everything is okay. The manager (Cesar), is a delight. He's very funny and makes sure that you're smiling and enjoying the evening. The food was beyond my expectations. I had the mussels in creamy sauce for appetizer and it was amazing. The entree looked like a feast for 3. As much as I loved the food, I could not finish it on my own. At the end of dinner, my sister ordered a tiramisu for dessert and the manager was so kind to put a candle and even offered to take pictures for us. Over all, I had a great time and I will definitely be visiting very soon. I think it will be a wonderful place for date night as well.

My girlfriend is from Cape Verde, and has particular Portuguese-based tastes, and this place passed her peculiar pallet with flying colors. In addition to nailing the meals, the ambiance of this place is definitely authentically Portuguese - from the music they play to the decorations!

Place is so good she even approved it for her parents!

A hidden gem. I didn't know how close this was and such a great menu. We would travel to Jersey for a Spain/Portugal experience but this beats it all! I had the lobster in a champagne sauce cuz I'm all about a good sauce. DELISH! Save some bread to soak it up. Table guests had the Salmon, Parrillada and surf and turf. All said great things. Hearty portions and flavor is great. Highly recommend.

I have been at this restaurant twice now with my family. I've ordered the Lobster tail with Filet mignon both times and both times it was delicious. The meat was tender, juicy and flavorful. I really liked the sangria and the cute cups it comes in. The restaurant is very clean and the ambiance pleasant. I took off one star due to the waitress that serviced our table the last time I went. She just stood there when I asked for a few minutes as I tried to decide to pick something different from the last time I went. She stated she wanted to take the order all in one shot. I felt uncomfortable making her wait so I just picked what I previously mentioned. Said waitress didn't come by until it was time for the check to be paid.
