Good croquettes as an appetizer. Excellent and very tasty fish rice. The serving was enough but quite less generous than one might normally find at Portuguese restaurants. Taking into account the Fork discount the price was reasonable. Wines are too expensive,: a wine glass is priced at one third the price of the bottle (rather than the usual 20-25%).

Booked a reservation through Fork at this restaurant on Christmas Eve, which was not honored the staff. Probably for the best however, the restaurant smelled terribly of rotten fish. Never had the chance to taste the food, but I wouldn’t recommend it based on the reception we received.

Food and service were great. Definitely a tourist spot though. The waiter brought us bread, cheese, and meat as an appetizer that we didn’t order, saying it was a custom in his country, and it was an extra charge. They also asked for a tip at the end, which was strange.

The food was alright, and the service was fantastic. While the seafood platter was decent, we did enjoy several other tasty dishes at reasonable prices. Overall, the restaurant provided an okay dining experience for the price paid.

Amazing restaurant! The food was amazing, seafood and fish were fresh and made perfectly. Waiters were attentive and even made a little show out of cutting our fish. We loved it!
