We booked this Fado Dinner before we left NJ.  The reviews were good. The food looked good.  Everything seemed right.  AND IT WAS!!  Once we got to Porto, while walking around the tourist areas, it seemed every kiosk was pushing a different Fado Show.  How to make the right choice?  How to avoid bad dinner theater?  Well, we did.  It was a great show and the food was good.
