Delightful Addition to South Shore Dining
Sintra is a wonderful addition for fine dining. It offers a diverse menu (red meat, poultry, fish, seafood and a vegetarian offering) creative selections, a good wine and beer selection, and attentive staff. Pleasant decor and music. The entrance is behind the restaurant in the parking lot.    []

Downtown Dining Moves to the South Shore
Sintra is an amazing dining experience. The food rivals that of the top restaurants downtown without the outrageous prices and hassle of finding a parking spot. The wait staff is knowledgeable, personable, and attentive without being overbearing. The open kitchen and small dining room creates the restaurant’s warm and inviting ambiance. Each of Chef Jenkins’ dishes brings out the flavor and essence of every ingredient used; no dish was too heavy or overwhelming. Without a doubt, I will be returning to Sintra.    [09 Aug 2003 14:24:03]

City Food; Suburb Prices
Pleasantly suprised to find this restaurant in Braintree. The money I save by eating here (food prices/parking/driving into Boston) allow me to enjoy this restaurant again and again. Don't miss an opportunity to have fanstatic food/service/preparation without the hassle/cost of Boston.    [03 Dec 2003 14:37:32]

Can't Wait to Go Back
Incredible food. I can't wait to go back. My husband and I had a wonderful night out with fabulous food and NO hassle. Amazing. The quality of the food makes me wonder where the pretense is - but at Sintra there is none.    [17 Dec 2003 08:31:21]

Making This Place My Own
The food was fabu! Portions are perfect. I love how the owners and staff remember the repeat customers. Being from Braintree - I will make this place my own little restaurant. The only negative comment is that there is no bar area to wait in. They should make the upstairs a bar area.    [10 Mar 2004 12:10:07]

There's No Comparison
What a wonderful restaurant. Everything about it is fabulous. Brian and Kerri Jenkins are creating a really special place. They have clearly put their heart and soul into making Sintra restaurant an extraordinary experience. Just like any good restaurant, you may have to wait for a table, but let me tell you - it is worth the wait...any day.    [13 Mar 2004 13:34:47]

Rude Mannered Waitress
At the beginning she didn´t bring the drink I ordered (before dinner) and took 30 minutes to take the order. She brought the check before asking me with rude manners if I wanted dessert, didn't apologize. She spent most of the time in a big conversation with the waiter and didn't look to the table. Very good food but I´m sorry, I´m not going back until they get rid of that waitress.    [06 Apr 2004 17:56:12]

Tremendous Experience
I surprised my fiancée, who is Portuguese, by bringing her to Sintra for a special dinner. And what a great experience we had! I can't remember a dinner when every course was so good and consistent. The service and atmosphere rivals the Boston restaurants, while its location and easy parking clearly makes Sintra a winner.    [08 Sep 2004 13:13:06]

Superb
We found Sintra when our son and daughter-in-law, Braintree residents, recommended it. We've returned many times and have never failed to have a spectacular meal with low-key, friendly service. A real find.    [12 Jan 2005 12:11:33]

Perfection
It is always a treat when we have dinner at Sintra. We had dinner there this past Saturday evening and we were just in time for the menu changes for the fall months. Our starters and entrées were fantastic. There was no way we were passing the desserts, so of course we indulged. I also have to say that the Sangria they have is the best I have ever tasted. A true jewel of the South Shore, if only they would open one in the Worcester area, I would be in heaven.    [20 Sep 2005 17:51:44]
