But I guess everyone got that memo too, because there were several people waiting ahead of us. So looking next door was Mariscaria. After looking over their menu we decided to eat there. Obviously a lot of seafood. Emenu though isnt as extensive as most places in America. Customer service is OK. I do love how tip/gratuity is not automatically included in the price of the meal here in Lisbon (take notes America). Took a long time for our food, even our appetizer, to come out. By then the wines were already room temp. But all was forgiven when the food came out. Im a firm believer that its better to do a few things really well, then to have a lot but do them mediocre. The food here was amazing!! So fresh. You can taste their natural flavors. We ordered their octopus salad. Nothing like what you see in America. Small amount of greens only. The octopus was the star as it should be. Not chewy. Flavored well. It was really good. Truly an appetizer. For entree we got their mixed seafood platter that serves 2. Its 65 euro, but the quality was amazing. And the portion was really good too. My wife left full and happy. There were several different seafoods on the plate. There was sea bass, tuna steak, squid, salmon and some fingerling potatoes. Added some lemon juice on them and they were amazing!! Each cooked to perfection. Flavors were all different. Textures. Cooking methods. All different. All very good!! Potatoes were the perfect starch to go with it. We had their vinho verde (a thing in Lisbon, never heard of it before), which wasent actually green. Had a subtle green tinge to it. But it was just dry. Not very good. I also had their red sangria. It was really good. Sweet. Fruity. They wvwn left the fruit in there for me to eat. After a liter pitcher of that, I was feeling good!! Ambiance hwre is beautiful. Nice shade covering to protect you from the sun. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating. Smoking in restaurants is something new to me. Its disgusting to me, in my personal opinion, but its not the restaurants fault. Overall though. The food was really good. Simple yet complex. Beautifully balanced. Tasted amazing. Took a little of time for the food to come out, but this place is worth the wait.

Needless to say, he ordered no sides. My cousin and I split a whole fish cooked Portuguese style with potatoes and some veggies. Waiter brought it whole, but deboned it and served it for us. Service was as expected from a high end restaurant. Decided to go to Belem in Lisbon for nata, so skipped dessert.

Unfortunately, it ended up being the most disappointing--and most expensive--meal we've had during our month in Portugal. The experience got off to a poor start. The hostess wasn't welcoming, and when I politely asked if we could sit closer to the window, I was told those tables had been reserved weeks in advance. We had also made a reservation for our anniversary, so that was disappointing. We were seated behind a pillar instead. Throughout the evening, not a single member of the waitstaff smiled. They all looked unhappy to be there, which created a surprisingly cold atmosphere. None of the staff ever came by to ask how our meal was, and no one acknowledged our anniversary. The restaurant itself wasn't nearly as elegant or luxurious as its reputation suggests. Aside from the lobster tank, the décor and atmosphere felt rather ordinary. To make matters worse, our view overlooked a wire fence and a parking area instead of the beautiful ocean setting we had expected. There were also several odd service issues. I ordered a gin martini. They said they were out of green olives, so I requested a lemon twist instead. The drink arrived with black olives and a lemon twist, which was confusing. As for the food, the complimentary bread with the crab pâté was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, everything after that was underwhelming. The sea bass was bland and forgettable, and the vegetables were overcooked to the point of being mushy. What made the evening especially disappointing is that every other restaurant we've visited in Cascais has been wonderful. Friendly, smiling staff checked on us, made us feel welcome, and served memorable meals--often at much lower prices. Given Mar do Inferno's reputation and premium prices, we expected an exceptional dining experience. Instead, we left wondering how it has earned such glowing reviews. I genuinely hope management takes a close look at the service, atmosphere, and food quality, because right now the restaurant simply doesn't live up to its reputation.
