Both times service was great, atmosphere is wonderful whether you eat outside or their gorgeous inside room. For lunch we ordered the cod fish baked à braz, the grilled calamari, and the black linguine with shrimp. Great portions, great value. The next time around we got their outstanding codfish fritters and the fried green beans which we Portuguese call "garden fishes." Just like my mom used to make them. Make sure to stop there and try some traditional Portuguese cuisine with some modern twists.

We got seated pretty quickly and we were very happy that there were multiple umbrellas up because the sun was definitely shining brightly that day. We saw some of the specials recommended by Yelp and chat GPT and decided to get some small tapas that were local to the area. A lot of them were with tuna and octopus. And they were very very delicious small portions which was great for us because we didn't want to have too much of a heavy meal as we were going to have a big dinner later on Service was spot on. We had three separate servers come check on us throughout our hour and 45 minutes there. Very pleasant, big smiles on their faces, and we're very quick to see if we needed any extra items. We were happy with our overall experience and prices, even though in a touristy area, were reasonable if you focused on the topaz and a bottle of wine.

This was one of the best meals I had in Portugal. The tuna tartare was a true stand out. The cod was perfectly cooked. The bread and butter, while seemingly simple had this unforgettable truffle taste. And the corn bread, yum! I can't deny eating the entire basket of bread... Ended with the hazelnut dessert because it's clearly a must. The exploding olives weren't for me but that's my only "complaint." Portions were huge. So I would suggest sharing multiple dishes with someone else. A delicious meal that I am still thinking of days later.

This place came highly recommended by not only hotel staff but also the Bolt drivers. Having had the chance to dine in I see why. This is a place that not only cares about curating a nice atmosphere, but goes above and beyond in service and food quality. It'll be one of the places I return to if I'm ever back in Lisboa.

Ordered carrot salad, codfish and potato fritters, corn fritter, and scrambled eggs with mushrooms. Everything was very tasty. The chef knows just the right amount of salt to use.

Not sure why this restaurant received less than stellar reviews as our experience was phenomenal…read more Concierge assisted us with making a reservation day of and we were able to easily snag a spot at 9pm for a weekday. The restaurant is much larger than anticipated, spanning across a few floors. Servers were friendly and gave amazing recommendations, even stopping us from ordering too much. The sangria was one of the best we've had and the bread was excellent with the butter the cheese. They do charge for these starters, but it's listed on the menu. I made the mistake of eating too much bread before our mains came. We enjoyed the clams and grouper head with a side of greens and potatoes. everything was delicious! It's big enough to share for two, and we still couldn't manage to finish all the food. We wanted to try dessert as it was our last meal in Lisbon, but unfortunately ate way too much and couldn't stomach anything else. Would highly, highly recommend this restaurant! They also gave all the ladies a parting gift (a single flower), which I thought was a cute touch. Paid via credit card and they didn't ask for us to leave a tip.

Though I must say it does not match the vibe portrayed by the website. It is very bright inside and feels very 1980s-1990s. People said it's high end and to dress well but there were tourists showing up in shorts and t-shirt. Which is fine but again, not the vibe I expected. To start I said I didn't want the couvert. They took away part of it and left the rest. We just decided what the hell and ate some of it. The cured meat (I forget what kind) left a strange film under my tongue I've never experienced eating similar meat so I didn't eat much of it. The cod was very bony. Parts of it were cooked beautifully and parts were very overcooked and chewy. The potatoes were too salty but well cooked. The greens had grit in them and crunched uncomfortably in my teeth. The steak was lovely but the accompanying rice was hard and bland. It was the only place I've eaten in Portugal (and I've tried a pretty large variety of types) where the sever held the credit card machine in front of me asking if I wanted to enter a tip as I was in the process of looking at the bill and paying. I would have tipped anyway but it was definitely off-putting. Maybe the hype is just residue from a bygone era? I was told I had to try it so I did but I wouldn't go back and probably wouldn't recommend it.
