We took our waiter's recommendation to add the bread to soak up the sauce from garlic shrimp... outstanding. We like the sauce in the octopus carpaccio but I think it can be improved by using larger octopus cubes instead of thin slices (of course it would no longer be "carpaccio"). Per my personal opinion, the octopus didn't add texture nor flavor to the dish. Our waiter Rubio is super friendly. He gave us recommendation for the location to see "the best sunset in the world". Even though it was a cloudy evening, it was still quite spectacular sunset view.

We couldn't not have asked for better service or food than this! The staff, Fabio and Andre were…read moreexcellent. The chef of this establishment has an excellent vision and it is obvious he knows flavor profiles well, because the combinations made were excellent. They had a menu for Easter that included a soup that was with leeks and green apples that was something I would never think of linking together yet worked so well!! It was really surprising and impressive. They also ran out of one of their staples on the menu, which was a mushroom dish and the chef improvised and made instead a grilled celery root "steak" of a piece of celery o didn't even know was edible!! The texture and flavor was soooo good! So I learned something new too! As far as our starter, we had their house suggestion which consisted of a butter infused with orange and honey that was to die for. It also included a chicken salad that was something light but super tasty and a tuna (they call it pate-we call it salad) that my son couldn't stop eating and was begging for more! Our Main dishes were the pork belly, (which I have never had a better one anywhere in my life), my son had the black linguini with seafood (that was packed with amazing seafood) and my husband had the cod fish with mashed potatoes. My mother in law had the grilled celery root steak. Unfortunately I couldn't try, my sons because I'm allergic to shellfish, but everyone else at the table tried it and said it was amazing. I tried just my husband mashed potatoes and they were better than my own mashed potatoes and everyone that's tried my taters say they're the best-so props to the chef again!! We paired our meal with an excellent wine and the staff suggested another wine to us too for our next visit or to purchase elsewhere. We orders Fabios suggestion of the pork belly, cod and black linguini and couldn't have been happier with what was offered. The restaurant was very cosy in design and we don't feel rushed. Unfortunately, we made a reservation last minute and there was only one table available left for that night which was by the front door, which wasn't the best seating because our party of 4-two sat looking out to the restaurant and street and two at their fridge with aged meat and bar, so 2 people didn't have the best view. So I felt bad for my husband and MIL, but my husband was made aware of this when we made the reservation. What was weird was that our reservation was at 7:30-we arrived at 7:15 and left at 9:30 and the two tables that sat 4 people had a reservation sign on them by the big windows looking outside, but no one sat there the entire time we were there. I wish we could have sat there instead. Maybe next time.

We started with their bread and I really enjoyed there two different options of butter and this ricotta cheese with bacon. For the kids, we ordered the sirloin and split it in half w/ a side order of fries. Kids loved it and I would not be surprised if they cut their own fries since they were so delicious. Wifey got oysters and grilled octopus. Per her, the oysters were delicious and fresh with good sauce. The octopus had great flavor combinations and was expertly cooked. No complaints from her end. I ordered the sea bass with additional vegetables on the side. Wow. It came with this clam rice risotto that was so good with the sea bass. My only complaint was catching a couple of bones in the fish. I definitely recommend stopping here for dinner. We were here right around 1845 which is early for dinner out here.

It is a small restaurant but we did not find the service very welcoming. The room is dimly lit but it is not romantic by any means. Although there were only 3 tables there was no attempt made by the server or the owner to interact with any of the customers. The couvert was dropped off at our table without any comment and when we said that we did not want it, it was begrudgingly removed. We shared an appetizer of calamari. It was just the calamari rings and they were okay. Nothing too interesting. For entrees my husband had the rack of lamb. The whole rack was brought to the table. They could not bother to cut between the racks for us. Maybe they were pissed off at us because we declined the couvert. It was okay but not one of the better rack of lambs that we've had. It was very awkward to cut the rack on the dinner plate. I ordered the steak with shrimp. The steak was well cooked but was not very tasty. I had a far better steak a few days ago that I had paid considerably less money for. All the prices are higher than most of the restaurants that we ate at during our time in Portugal. Wine prices are also higher than average. The quality of the food and the attitude of the owner and staff made for a very disappointing dining experience. They are charging fine dining prices but the experience is not that of a fine dining restaurant. We would not return. The value is very poor and we certainly did not feel appreciated

Our group started with mista salads, and ordered roasted dorado, roasted sole (these were brought to us in advance so we could see their freshness), octopus & shrimp, and the lamb chops. All were incredibly executed large portions plated with a sautéed cabbage/veg medley and baby whole boiled potatoes in olive oil. The simple but perfect seasoning allowed the fresh seafood and chops to shine. Housemade desserts included an almond tart that my discriminating friend devoured. We received complimentary aperitif glasses of moscatel and tiny sweets after dinner. Including a nice bottle of Douro vinho and glass of port, our dinner for 4 was a very reasonable (for US stds) 144 euro.

We got there right at 6 and they gave us one of only 2 remaining tables, telling us we had to be done by 7:30pm. We started with prosciutto & melon which was AMAZING!!!!! And reminded us of Italy. My children got the house style spaghetti which was a cream sauce with tomatoes and ham. Neither kid could get enough! The pasta was soooo tasty. My husband and I shared the Mixed Catalana for 2 - prawns and clams. It was the best meal we had during our almost 2 week trip to Portugal. The broth was so delicious I could've drank it with my spoon. It was loaded with veggies too. Came with white rice on the side and some fried potatoes. Also my husband got a glass of house red wine which was a very generous pour! They only take cash, which we did not know ahead of time. But luckily there's an ATM across the street. They turned tons of people away while we were eating. I guess their system is reservation only from 5:30-7:30pm and then after 7:30pm they allow walks in on a first come, first serve basis.

Every spread was full of flavor: a creme fraiche with seaweed powder, a rich curry mouse, and butter with salt flakes. Two people at our table ordered the daily menu which came with sweet potato samosas, seabass, and a vanilla butter cake. The samosas were deconstructed; light sweet potato puree on the inside paired with chutney, spiced chickpeas, and whipped cream. Great colorful and bright flavors. The sea bass was so fresh and perfectly cooked, flaky and the skin on top was nice and crunchy. I ended up ordering the croaker ceviche and the codfish with octopus. The croaker had a neutral taste, but paired so well with a smoky tamarind passion fruit sauce. I also really enjoyed the codfish and octopus. It came with a sweet corn puree and crispy salted kernels. Overall a great fine dining experience in Lagos!

He ended up sharing with a friend and I have to say that though my skewer was good the cataplana was outstanding! For those familiar with San Francisco cioppino, it is kind of like that, a fish stew. This was full of both shellfish and filets of fish. The flavor of the broth was one of the best we have had since dining in Portugal. We like it so much we were spooning it out and onto our slices of bread! For my main course I had the calamari and shrimp skewer. It came with fries and a salad. It was really good as well but I had to ask for some lemon to brighten up the flavor. They were more than happy to accommodate the request. Back to the starters though. We had some bread, olives, butter, sardine pate and an order of clams. Most speak for themselves but you can skip the sardine pate, it is just small pre-packaged tins of it, not home made. The clams though were really really good! Definitely get an order if you like clams. We loved our service. Everyone was friendly, eager to please and helpful. They assisted us in picking out a terrific bottle of wine and what to order. They didn't misguide us at all!
