    As reviewed on Google, the food was outstanding, with creative takes on traditional seafood that was fresh and perfectly prepared. The staff recommended an excellent wine to pair with the food. All in all, one of the best meals we’ve had in Lisbon.

    The service at this establishment is horrible. We politely requested a dish to be divided among our party, but were rudely told that plates were not for sharing at the restaurant. The waitress then took the tip immediately from our check without first asking about it. We respectfully advised her to inquire in advance to prevent this type of difficult circumstance and to refund the money she took. They planned to give us only coins to steal from us. I will never suggest this establishment. What a waste and a poor experience in beautiful Lisbon.

    Cute small space on quiet street. Tables are tight together. The front door remained open through dinner, which was fine with pleasant weather. Imaginative dishes well presented. Only one server and the manager for the whole room so service is very frenetic, not very attentive. So- nice venue (if outside temperature is good), upscale food, not very polished service. As long as your expectations are in line, you can have an enjoyable evening.

    I went here for my mum's birthday and they made it a really special dinner for her. All the food we ordered was excellent - the ceviche and octopus was particularly outstanding. It felt very reasonably priced considering the overall great experience we had. The only criticism I would have is that the service was a little on the slow side, but we weren't in a rush and we were happy to spend time having a leisurely dinner there. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again next time I'm in Lisbon.

    A lovely evening and fantastic meal. We had had the table booked for weeks and on arrival we were told that we could only pay cash which was a little awkward at first as we had to rummage around between the four of us to ensure we had enough to cover the evening. Advance warning would have helped!

    The food was phenomenal, quite possibly the best meal we had during our two week stay in Portugal and we ate a ton of great meals there! The only hiccup is that we did not receive the text telling us they were cash only and we had to scrounge for enough Euros since it was our last night in Europe. Once we figured that out, everything was amazing!! The grilled Octopus was the best we have ever had and the tuna was to die for! Wish we had been able to gather up more Euros, we would have ordered even more! But it was amazing nonetheless!

    Unfortunately the only form of payment accepted is cash. Indoor seating only and the air quality that night was humid so it was quite uncomfortable after hiking a lot of steep hills to get there. Food arrived quick so it was good to eat and leave early. I ordered shrimp over risotto and the shrimp pieces were very small. Disappointing meal and left still hungry which is unusual for a Portugese cuisine.

    The food was outstanding!!! Some of the best we had in Portugal. It was classic dishes with unique elements and I wish I have the space to try every dish. This is the first place I am coming to when back in Lisbon.
