    This was a magnificent little find…read more They were super accommodating without reservations and swapping out sides on our sons dish from potato to white rice. It would have been a 5 star rating if not for the fact that the lamb was super chewy and all fat, and the vegetables were drenched in oil. My fish selection was perfection! As was my husband's steak. I had the fish soup and was surprised to see it had macaroni pasta in it, so that was a first. Wine was good, and the ambiance was wonderful outside in the square. Inside was nice and by the time we left, it was packed.

    Just awful. Don't waste your money. Been here twice- both times disappointed…read more In the first visit my boyfriend got the octopus and I got the tuna. Neither anything special and he said "this isn't any different than what I would have done - just way more oil." I came here after a week of craving a good steak only to be punched in the gut with a pitiful excuse for a meal. The food is as bland as can be with the excuse that they serve you an entire slab of salt so you can season the meat yourself. Of course, this is mainly for steaks (I believe) anything else relies on iodized salt. Honestly I go to restaurants for tasty food that I don't have to season myself, thank you, and something beyond SALT would be great. Will never come here again. Too expensive for less than mediocre food. I also literally had to search "calming jazz" on my phone since they had no music playing. God forbid a little melody disrupt the soccer game.

    When I asked my friend in Lisbon where to go for seafood, she told us that she usually go to…read moreSetubal for seafood as the ones in Lisbon is not quite as fresh. Then another Portuguese local recommended this place. We didn't come during peak lunch hour, but the place was still rather busy. This place is not exact on the waterfront, separated from it by a wide street, though the view is quite open. We are glad the menu is available in English and the waiter is also fluent in English. We ordered a sole, and a risotto. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dinner, the quality of seafood is very good, and the price very reasonable. There are lots of seafood restaurants lining the street and as it was our first time eating here we don't know how it measures up to its neighbors, but it was definitely a pleasure experience.

    Halfway into a very informative historical tour of Portugal, our tour guide informed us that we…read morewould be having lunch at Restaurante O Miguel. Since he is a local, he highly recommended that we order the Fried Squid meal. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly employee that led us to a table within the outdoor seating area. After providing us with menus, we ordered one fried squid meal and two glasses of the Periquita Rosé. 10 minutes later our meal arrived at our table. The fried squid was absolutely delicious. It was perfectly fried so that the exterior of the squid was crispy (not dry), and the inside was surprisingly juicy. The pairing of fries with the squid was so delightful that we ordered a second fried squid meal to share amongst ourselves. The Periquita Rosé was just ok in our opinions. However, my wife and I are not fans of Rosé, we merely tried it because our tour guide recommended it. We ended up ordering a round of the Planalto dry white wine, which was better in our opinions. If the fried squid meal was an accurate depiction of how the other meals on their menu taste, I'm disappointed that we couldn't have revisited this restaurant at least two more times. I HIGHLY recommended this restaurant to any seafood lover!
