We had reservations for a party of 2 on a Saturday at 6 PM. When you check in, they give you a slip of paper which has a QR code on it for you to access the menu later, and we were promptly seated upstairs. The menu is conveniently available in several languages (you select your language at the bottom of the main menu page). We were at a long table for 6, with us sitting on the inside and another couple sitting at the end, and the table settings in between us were cleared, so it didn't feel like we were on top of one another. I appreciated that the server gave recommendations that would be good for two people. We went with most of his recommendations (shrimps on garlic sauce (it's labeled as spicy, but it's really not), clams on garlic, tiger prawns grilled on bed of salt) and added some of our own (razor clams and lobster roll). All the seafood tasted fresh, bursting with flavor from the buttery garlic sauce, which we sopped up with garlic bread. The bread is brought to the table when you first get seated. It's not free, which I was aware of, but I knew it would go well with the dishes we ordered. The razor clams were juicy and sweet. The lobster roll was good, but not something I would order again when there's so many other fantastic seafood choices. I usually don't drink beer, but felt that it was appropriate since we were at a cervejaria, so I ordered a bottle of Sagres Bohemia. It went perfectly with the seafood. My SO, who doesn't drink alcohol, got peach iced tea. I wanted to get the prego sandwich for dessert, but my SO was pretty much full at that point, so I ordered a tarte whisky and a cappuccino for myself. The whisky ice cream layer in the tarte was nice and refreshing. I was shocked when we got the bill and it came out to less than 50€. This meal would have cost so much more in the US. You pay via tablet at the end and I left a generous tip in appreciation of the wonderful meal and service. They get you in and out of there quick, but it never felt like we were being rushed out. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some fresh, delicious seafood in Lisbon.

The manager of the restaurant received me and was extra nice, he spoke to me in English and Spanish, so if you speak any of those 2 you are good. He recommended me some items on the menu here is what I chose: starter-favadas d' unha... (really big beans) one word to describe them DELICOUS... so that was a great start. For the main entree I got the Atum grelhado, which is a tuna filet (big portion) grilled and they put a home made butter on top that is out of this world.. this has been one of the best filets I have ever had. As soon as you arrive you get a platter with cheese, olives and the unbelievable home made butter, also a piece of freshly baked hot bread. He offered me some wines and ask me what region I wanted, I chose Duero.. wine was great too... The manager/server explained to me that it was a Restaurant from Açores which are a group of islands in the middle of the Atlantic that are part of Portugal, he even brought a book to show me Açores (he is from there). I also found out that his wife is the one in the kitchen! I told him tell her everything is delicious and he replied "I taught her good"...
