Mackerel and amberjack starters are just incredible. Cuttlefish with black rice was excellent. Memorable deserts. Everything is perfectly fresh and prepared. Service could not be better. Truly wonderful lunch.

This restaurant was recommended by my Lisboa friend. I didn't expect that their service was seriously this bad. Maybe they treat differently to international people. It took over 15 minutes to they brought menu papers to us and didn't give us time to order the wines. I wouldn't go back there again or recommend it to others. There are plenty of good and cute restaurants but not here.

To start, my husband loved his Pisco cocktail. We had excellent, attentive service from this one ebullient, upbeat waitress who clearly loves her job! I'm sorry I did not get her name, but she is unmatched by her obvious positive, fun attitude. She steered us to tasty starters (baby squid, smoked eel), a grilled fresh fish main dish, and a to-die-for cheesecake by their chef. We really enjoyed our last night in Lisbon with this wonderful seafood restaurant and a waitress with the best attitude ever. Only disappointment was the too-loud techno type of music, which did nothing to elevate the dining experience.

Great restaurant! Delicious food & the service was excellent. As a dessert, you must try the cheesecake. Best cheesecake ever!

Found the food to be really heavy, too much sauce not as much seafood in their portions.

We had such an amazing black mouth fish here! It was a light and buttery white fish. We were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and our server, Caroline, made us feel so special. We were so grateful for this experience and for all the hospitality from the entire staff!

The staff was very friendly and attentive. The starter wasn't to my liking (too salty) but the main course and dessert were great. Regardless of the weather, I'd recommend indoor seating area for more cosiness. The interior design is really beautiful.

The food, drink and service was all outstanding. The portions are small, which is clear on the menu (and re-enforced by the servers), but that works to your advantage so you can try many dishes. Not a bite was less than great! Looking forward to next time.

Staff was friendly, unfortunately half the table was finished before the other half got their food. The waitress drop food on my wife’s back and didn’t replace or address what happened.

The people, the service, the food, it was all great! The cocktail (it’s called Coporino if I remember correctly) that is based on gin, thyme cucumber, basil and lemon is fantastic! The waiters are very friendly and will help you very fast if you have allergies. I recommend it to everyone who visit Lisbon!

This restaurant was wonderful. The service was exceptional, as was the food. The cod cakes, ceviche and scallop were our favorites but everything we had was fresh with a great blend of flavors.

From the moment we walked in I knew this restaurant was going to be good. The staff were amazing, explaining all the food and the food itself was outstanding. You pay for what you get. We had 3 share plates and a main meal which was enough for me and my husband. I highly recommend this place.

Such a fantastic dining experience at Lota - from the wine recommendation, to the menu, to the quality of the service. Easily the best meal we had during a week in Lisbon, and we will be certain to recommend that any friends who visit the city dine here. The ambiance of the restaurant was refreshing - quiet, but a fun and engaging dining experience - with excellent food. I'd recommend the grilled prawns and ceviche to any diner. Looking forward to returning on my next trip to the city. Obrigado!
