Kind staff and excellent food
8.0
The food was good, but not great. It's one of those places that you might stop at if you're nearby but not a fan favorite. However, the service was really good and we enjoyed being served by Maysha (i probably got this wrong but it's a sweet girl from Nepal). It was overall enjoyable :)

The food is really great ( I had the grilled black pork), the service was attentive and not overwhelming, and the fork discount made everything really worth it. We were a table of 6, and everyone was pleased.

Lovely restaurant and fantastic food. It doesn't look big from the outside but there are more tables inside where the kitchen is open and you're able to watch all the food being made.

Great food, great place, and great environment. My go-to restaurant. And big plus, it’s very affordable. I’ve been to the restaurant multiple times and have recommended it to many people - everyone really enjoyed it. Important to refer the kindest waitress Manisha, who always receives us with a smile and good mood.

Posh and simple at the same time! Very nice staff. Besides, the kitchen's completely open layout allows you to watch them preparing your meal. Cool

Food was just ok and service not great. Just an average dining experience.

Service (Elvis) was great. Food was hit or miss. Really liked croquettes and empanadas, but pork strips were tough with little flavour. Wine prices were pretty reasonable. It’s a bit of an adventure eating on the street, as some of the passersby were pretty boisterous, but overall an enjoyable experience.
6.5
The food was really good but the kitchen was really close to our table and there was a lot of noise coming from there, and also the people was shouting between each other at the kitchen.
5.0
Tapas were okay. Mains - steaks - were really bad. Very bad meet, potatoes coming, I imagine, from a frozen bag. With much too much oil.

It’s a nice place with incredibly friendly and helpful service. The waitresses were very helpful and instantly left took care of empty plates, offered to fill the drinks etc. The food however was nothing to write home about. The starters were a bit better than main courses but overall the food was average at best. The salad and fried mushroom starter were nice though.

The services was very slow. We waited 1h for our food.

This restaurant in the lower level of the hotel I am staying in was very pleasant. When I travel by myself, I’d like to be in a quieter place.. It’s unfortunate that not many people were there because the food was delicious. I am allergic to garlic and was able to order a fresh salad with fruit and Chicken prepared with no garlic but enhanced with other spices.

Dinner with wife and adult son. Large tapas menu but we had main courses of steak, fish and seafood salad. Very nice. Good Argentinian wine (but mostly local wines). Nice desserts. Very central with small entrance. Good service.

The restaurant was ok. Very nice ambience, the server was not Portuguese and that, being in Portugal, is a negative point. At very least, they should be able to speak Portuguese. But nonetheless we understood each other and the orders were made and delivered with no mistakes, The lighting is very nice, and it’s fun to be able to look into the kitchen. The food is ok. Not the greatest, but it’s not too bad either. Well cooked, well seasoned, but the quality could easily be improved. For a chef’s restaurant, it was a little disappointing, to be honest.
