I have been to Macao at least 5-6 times. The quality of food is consistent, cocktails are fantastic, service is consistently efficient, warm and friendly. Downstairs is a lot of fun, good crowd, cozy atmosphere. I have always come back smiling and happy from this joint. Thumbs up and highly recommended.

Very small and over priced portions of inauthentic Portuguese foodd. Couldn't finish it and was horrified by the bill. STAY AWAY! They were understaffed. Waitress did her very best under the situation, but she couldn't save the poor food, small tables and unusually high prices.

I was drawn here for the 4th time after experiencing great food. The 4th time I was accompanied with 3 well groomed and dressed friends of mine. After dinner, the manager invited us to go downstairs for drinks. We then looped around to the downstairs lounge entrance and were intercepted by a pretentious, arrogant and rude door person who told us there was a "private party" downstairs. I am a born and raised New Yorker and am well aware of the "private party" schtick. I tried to explain we were patrons who were invited downstairs by the manager of the restaurant. It seems he did not believe me and continued with the "private party" story. I then went inside to inform the manager of what had transpired but ironically, after originally being invited, the spineless manager then told me that he has no pull at the door for the lounge downstairs. Our waiter, who had waited on me the 3 other times I was there, came out to explain that we were regular patrons and should be allowed in but it seems by then the rude doorman's ego got in the way and he refused to let my party in clearly out of preservation of pride. It's a shame that a place with great food is so rude to their regular patrons. In a city with a thousand great restaurants, Macao should do a better job taking care of their customers.

had dinner on Saturday, i ordered the fish portuguese style, hubby ordered the prawns chinese style. where to begin, i am portuguese and i never had fish that way before, i took a couple of bites and couldn't take anymore, hubby said his prawns were like anyother he had at a chinese take out joint, alos had the bacalao fried rice, was so oily also could not eat it the only decent thing we ate was their jade dumplings yummy. did not get dessert, didnt want to risk it, when to little italy instead.

Nice decor, great wine list (no glasses for white and red though), over-priced, every dish tasted sub-par, namely Portuguese chicken and fried milk. The sirloin costs $32, a really small portion, and did not even come with the right carving knife. The Portuguese chicken tasted so poor my girlfriend only had 1 bite. If you're looking for real Macanese food, or fusion chinese food, look elsewhere. Last but not least, $130+ dinner for 2 in Tribeca may not be so much, but consider you're right by Chinatown, this has to be the least value you can get in NYC.

had an all around unpleasant experience here. we had a reservation for 4 in the dining room and they seated us at a table of 2 in the lounge, which made eating impossible because there was no room at the table. they were out of all of the fish on the menu. when we tried to order the artichoke salad the server said she didn't recommend it because they freeze the salad and vegetables so she suggested another salad which was not good. they also had to be reminded to bring us utensils, fresh plates, etc. i don't see myself coming back here anytime soon.

All I can say is PORTUGUESE PRAWNS! I've been craving them ever since!!
