9/10Olivier da Costa's restaurants host influencers, so we went to ÀCosta to see if besides taking pictures, it was also possible to have a pleasant dinner. We ordered the crab filling accompanied by some delicious toast. We recommend it for its freshness and for being a generous quantity. As main, we chose lobster rice. The expectations were high and were fully met. The rice was perfectly cooked and very tasty with strong flavours. We finished with pão de ló, a beautiful finale, which only sins because it is an exaggerated quantity, even for those who share it. Overall, we had a very good impression: it seems that at ÀCosta, food is still the main character.

5.5/10Apparently “people can smoke in the restaurant at their table if they are friends of Olivier”. Don’t bother asking for it to be corrected . Eat your meal without complaining and deal with smokers ??? No smoking in the restaurants of the world since 1989, really Olivier…..no respect for the paying customers - get with it . Maybe visit New York or London for tips

10/10It has unusual combination in Lisbon of a big buzz and high-quality food at the same time. The vibe is still grown-up, and the premises are spectacular just by the water and thankfully no aquarium for animals soon to be dead, but the lobsters are already on ice🫣.

9/10It was my second time and my review is based on the experience as well as the food. The starter could be better but the bread with clarified butter is great and makes up for it. the lobster rice was very good but to share and at that price it should be a bit more. The chocolate mousse is amazing and the virgin mojito too. What was amazing to see was the people in the kitchen, happy, laughing, singing along and dancing while cooking, the same with the rest of the staff it does not match at all with the idea of restaurant kitchens where everyone is shouting and grumpy.The staff is really nice. Overalls it was expensive but a great evening.

7.5/10Good food - seems overpriced. We were charged 190eur for 1 fish alongside 86eur for the carabineros. They were good, but not amazing. Felt that the server should have been transparent about the pricing when giving these suggestions. Not sure if I would eat there again as I have experienced better quality in Portugal for more reasonable pricing.

7/10We did enjoy the restaurant, the service and the food we ordered was all very good. However, when we sat down a server brought a bread basket, tuna spread, olives, etc and asked if he could leave that. We said yes, of course. However, it was something they charge for...not a terribly big deal, but would have liked to know. Many restaurants bring bread and tapenade or other dip with no charge as part of their service. Also, the prices for the fish were so incredibly over priced (a huge sea bass over 1 kg would cost 175 Euros or so!!! ALL of the seafood and shellfish was ridiculously expensive...it's Portugal!!!!! We ended up ordering a steak (very good) and a terribly overdressed salad which the server took off the bill as it was inedible. T he ambiance was very nice, the service was very good, but, I wouldn't go back.

5/10Well first of all, their rice was so salty and nothing in coparison to what the hype entails. Salad was so drab and salty as well. changed it twice and yet they kept being so horrible. Fish fillet was cold and not well spiced. Service was so slow and quite unprofessional. When paying the bills, they even added stuffs we never ate...

9/10Everything was great but as a foreigner that booked online, they sat me in the dead corner under a loud speaker, where it was very hard to maintain an normal conversation. So kudos to them losing a potential business client for years to come. It is not how you treat the regulars, they will be there either way, it is how you treat newcomers, is what keeps the new people influx at all times.

10/10Restaurant Acosta by Olivier offers a luxurious dining experience inspired by Portuguese traditional cuisine. The ambiance is elegant, and the space feels upscale and inviting. The food is thoughtfully prepared (the creamy lobster rice was superb, rich and full of flavor, just to mention one of the several delicious dishes of the meal). It's a great spot for a refined meal. Two final notes, the music can be a bit too loud for those seeking a more relaxed setting, and the lighting although it matches the sophisticated atmosphere, forces people to seek extra "help" in order to read the menu :)

5/10Hello Too many errors by the serving crew * You run off of the white wine by Oliver unbelievable * We order Ameilhas a Bulhao Pato, the waiter say you didn’t have it , then the dish came to the table and the guy said that you find some left in the deposit . Of course we didn’t take it * Sent twice other appetizer , and the coffees, looks like it is not communication between the kitchen and the servers * The Porco Preto was over cooked, and the menu said manga jam and the serve apple jam * They charge one Kg of Emperador fish , but when they served it , for two it wasn’t more than 500 grams * The bill had errors too, they charge the Ameilhas, But didn’t charge the 6 beers

5/10being a big fan and admiror of Olivier, I have to say this restaurant is way behind all the others, both in terms of food and service. we tried the 3 signature dishes and wee disappointed. in the eggs, a spicy flavour hided the taste of the what should be key ingredients do the dish. the main, the rice, the texture was not good and the fish was spongy and not tender. the desert had too much frozen yogurt for the too little remaing ingredients. the service seemed too much inexperienced, unable to solve easy thing such as a balancing table. given the restaurant is relatively new, there is for sure room for improvement.
