What People Are Saying About Sunset Cafe

In Short – As the largest of East Cambridge's numerous Portuguese restaurants, Sunset Café offers a suitably lengthy menu of Old World fare. Beef, pork, sausage, chicken and codfish are served in dozens of different ways, and linguiça pizza is available during the day. There's a soft pastel look about Sunset that unfortunately conjures up the generic shopping mall restaurant. Things liven up on weekends, when folk dancing is often featured.

Wonderful Food!

First time late 2008 -- everything we had on the table was of high quality (including the nice appetizer plate GRATIS). Though not on the menu, we were able to request a plate of baccala fritters (salt cod)...YUM! Helped that we went with someone who comes often enough to recommend EVERYTHING on the menu and explain it to me!
- Pros: accomodating

If you like Portuguese food...

then this really is a nice place. Its a family favorite for us! We've been coming here for years. I love when they have the singers and guitar players come on the weekends! The food is great with traditional dishes and it always tastes homemade. I don't remember service ever being horrible as mentioned in other reviews. If you grew up in a Portuguese home, you've probably already been here and loved it.
- Pros: good food, authentic, romantic
- Cons: can be pricey

very disappointing
by gillen at Citysearch
Went there Thurs night, we were the only ones (literally) in the restaurant, not a good sign. Waiter was pathetic, prices too high. Took 10 minutes to get drinks, we placed our order and didn't see the waiter again for 20 minutes, I had to actually stop him as he walked by to ask for another drink, he never checked on us at all. Took 50 minutes to get our food which was also pathetic since we were the only ones there. I got Filet mignon & shrimp. The steak was a good cut and cooked the way I asked for it but not much taste and the 2 shrimps were so dry and overcooked you couldn't even get them out of the shell. My husband got barbecued scrod which was fishy, burnt and had ALL the bones still in it. Service was unacceptable. We would never go back.
- Pros: clean
- Cons: terrible service, food lacking
