O Lavrador Restaurant & Bar

This is such a great restaurant! I want to go back!  The food was delicious and the restaurant was pleasant and clean and the wait staff was helpful, attentive and knowledgable. A special shout out to  Chica, Cesar and Ramundo who made our visit to O Lavador truly special.

My family went to O Lavrador for my birthday and loved the place.  I think it was our first time in a Portuguese restaurant.  
    The food, service and atmosphere were excellent.  The only caveat is that we had a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> gift certficatate and could not order the $20 price fix specials and had to order a la carte.
    My wife and I shared one of the seafood paellas, while my son and his girl friend each had a grilled steak with ham and egg.  We all started with grilled calamari appetizers.  
     A pitcher of peach sangria was shared by all of us.
     We are certain to go back.  We have to try the $12 lunch specials.  Of course, we can't use the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> certificates.

This is a stylish and genuine Portuguese restaurant, with a great selection of iberian and latino dishes and drinks.  The staff was charming, kind and helpful, with special mentions going to Ms Chica and Messrs. Caesar and Raimundo.  It's close to JFK and a great place to spend a delightful last evening before flying on.
