I was going to have the standard Portuguese Carne Alentejana but got sidetracked by the specials board. 1/2 Rack of Lamb with Shrimp and two sides for 18.95 could not be ignored. The shrimp with garlic was cooked perfectly. I must admit that I dipped the bread in the garlic oil! The rack of lamb ordered rare was perfectly cooked and really tender with a nice char on the outside. For my sides, I settled on Portuguese fries and rice. I have found that the rice is usually surprisingly good. The table service from the bartender was pleasant. Seems it can get loud in here when they are busy.

Found this locally owned family restaurant offering up some traditional Portuguese foods in Lowell. Very diverse menu offerings. The little neck appetizer was excellent. We were there around 5:30 and the place was mobbed. Clearly a local favorite. I had the seafood stew and enjoyed every bite. It wasn't heavy on the white fish like some tend to be. Plenty of scallops shrimp and calamari as well. The alentejana was okay. My husband got the pork and shrimp combo and thought the pork was a bit overcooked. They served it with both potatoes and rice so it was alot. In Portugal it was only served with potatoes where we had it. Nice variety of Portuguese wine for a reasonable price. They appear to be known for their Espresso martini. We saw many being made and could see why it was popular. They use a fresh brewed Espresso shot to make the drink. Yum! Didn't have time for dessert, but want to try the homemade flan next time we go.

We recently had a Birthday party here for my Mother. George and his crew were absolutely awesome. Food was great, service was excellent and they were very accommodating with letting us decorate the upstairs dining area. Special shoutout to his son Nick which was hustling, taking care of us making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

You can’t beat the affordability and quality of food here. I’ve been to MANY Portuguese restaurants in Massachusetts (north shore and south shore, and more) and no one does the Portuguese Steak of the house like IV Seasons. It is the best , all around. The food and service is always great and consistent. I’ve been coming here with family and friends for lunch and dinner for decades. If you like Portuguese food , this is the place. And if you’ve never had Portuguese food, this is the place. Also great for catering your event!
