"Can't remember if I ever did a review of Obrigado before this. If I haven't, shame on me. It may be because I've been there many times and have taken it for granted. This time was a little bit special because my stepson was going to pick up the tab. His usual pick from anywhere we go is a hamburger. Excuse me, cheeseburger. There's never been a cheeseburger he didn't like. My wife ordered a chicken salad and proclaimed it to be great. She's never had a bad meal there at least not that I know of. I always try to prepare myself be looking at the menu online to get some idea what I might order. What didn't show up online was the Specials menu. Well, anytime at Obrigado is difficult because I have to work my way through the list of items to figure which one I want. It's not easy because everything always looks good, so I turned my attention to the Specials menu and worked hard to figure out what would may be feel good this time. After a while, I decided to order the scallops pasta. How bad could it be? It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was great!!! The first thing I did was try the pasta and I knew that this was going to be a good experience. The roasted squash and zucchini were done right. The scallops were perfect. If the meal wouldn't have turned out well I would still return because of the history with them. That wasn't even close to being an issue. Appetizer? Calamari! There' s a place in Tennessee (of all places) that I think has the best calamari. Obrigado comes in a very, very, very close second. Try it. If you don't like it, go to Tennessee."
