We were disappointed at the time but we found many other restaurants that had good seafood as well. We were traveling with other family members this time and thought this restaurant would be the best places to try pretty much every seafood dishes available in Lisbon and some of the unique foods that we can't get at home. We had barnacles, glass shrimp (it is supposed to have eggs outside the shell but unfortunately we were told the season was over so there were no eggs), spider crab, oysters with caviar, scallops, razor clams, and cheese with bread. My daughter's boyfriend tasted the barnacles for the first time and he loved it. We ended up ordering it twice. Everything was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the food. Excellent service.

Two words - culture shock! This place was recommenced by our Brazilian Tuk Tuk driver. We were…read morelooking for a fish/seafood place and my compañero loves his IPA! We also wanted an authentic Portuguese place and not anything touristy. Be careful what you wish for! We took a number but were almost bypassed as they were calling higher numbers. I got the "matre d's" attention and showed him my number. He spoke no English as could be expected - not an issue! So, he bumped us up to the front of the line. We climbed a long narrow and steep staircase to reach a long narrow hallway with about 20 staff running about and squeezing by each other. Somehow, we found the dining room and our waiter greeted us offering us a choice of tables. Clientele were very well dressed and spoke in Portuguese looking very comfortable. He immediately brought us a huge basket of garlic bread! It was quite a nice atmosphere and reminiscent of an older home with high ceilings. We had trouble ordering from the phone app (as it should be because it was in Portuguese only) so our waiter guided us. No IPA and no wine except moscatel. But this was a cerveseria with no IPA! So we tried two glasses of moscatel- not our favorite as it was much too sweet. We agreed to the garlic shrimp and lazy crab. I asked what it came with and he said nothing and pointed to the garlic bread. I asked about ordering veggies and he said there were none! The crab was fridge cold but would have been better warm. The shrimp could have been tasty if not so salty. It wouldn't have been such a culture shock but it was also very pricey for what is was. I don't regret this experience as I was immersed in Portuguese culture and food. But no veggies is unthinkable! lol

About 7pm we strolled back. I had the steak and I had the sea bass. Both were delicious and highly recommended! We had starters of bread with a local sheep cheese, a little cup of olives and butter.

Salt baked fish is truly not that hard to to mess up, yet my fish turned out to be very dry. At first they said the fish was under cooked when they first cracked it open, then whoever must have put it back in the over over cooked it. The filets were all messy, and shredded probably due to how dry it was.. and tough to eat, also had many bones still in it. This couple next to us also got the salt baked Fish and theirs looked better filleted. We also got the clams for our app. It was meh. Not much flavor, and very small portion for the cost! Service here was horrendous. I literally had my hand up for 10 minutes before someone came over to take the check from me. The couple next to us were even trying to help us get a waiter! I mean cmon... You want my money right? They also asked for a tip at the end of the meal... Really? Albeit, the decor of the place was nice, but the food was pretty mediocre, and the cost was way up there for bad food. Wouldn't come again.
