Great food and ambiance. I'll definitely go back. The service was also great. I liked the lobster and shrimp dish. Next time I'll get the pork chops.

We had a luncheon at O Lavrador, after doing a memorial for our loved one, and it was a lovely way to share time together with our family. The food that everyone ordered was wonderful and the service was excellent. The grilled skirt steak, grilled sirloin steak, churrasco chicken with potatoes and rice, grilled salmon, chicken cutlet in garlic and herb sauce were enjoyed greatly. Desserts were all raved about as well! I highly recommend O Lavrador.

Just moved to the area .... I found this little gem . The food , drinks , ambiance , music are literally top tier... great staff based on their great service ! Will definitely be a retuning customer !

A friend of mine took me here for the first time & I must say, everything from the service, food, vibe is amazing. & the staff is great!

Wow! Great food for a great value. Decided to try this restaurant as a lunch spot near my job. It was about a 10-minute Drive but very worth it. Many of us ordered a variety of food I personally had one of their hot paninis and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes with creamy a huge portion purified. The Panini was grilled chicken with vegetables and mozzarella cheese absolutely perfection. Everybody else appeared to enjoy their meal. I would love to go back and try one of their drinks or larger meals myself. We spoke to the workers briefly and I can say they were so kind and welcoming even for a pickup order. We will be back again

Staff was super nice and welcoming. The lamb chops and garlic mashed were AMAZING!!! Their chicken was seasoned and cooked so well, it fell off the bone but was still juicy and very tasty. Their rice and potatoes were a little bland but nothing that a little hot sauce couldn't fix. The setting was cute and nice for a date night dinner. Calamari was excellent as well. They have a heavy seafood menu and my son is allergic to crab so my husband and I will be visiting again to try the seafood options!

What a hidden gem tucked away walking distance from the LIRR/Air Train! The food is so flavorful with quite hefty portions. This is the paella for one. We couldn't even make a dent in it after having the shrimp appetizer. The service was attentive and friendly. There's quite a lot of space in the dining room and additional space in a separate bar area next door.
