Alright Place in a lovely neighbourhood. The food was good, maybe not excellent but good and there is nothing wrong with that given the price. Ambience is okay maybe missing a few touches here and there. Service was quick. Felt like they forgot about the promotion attached to our booking a bit too easy, however after a short reminder no problem, still feels backward to ask or remind when it clearly shows on their system.

Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback tão detalhado. Ficamos felizes em saber que apreciou a comida e a rapidez do serviço. Trabalhamos sempre para oferecer uma boa relação qualidade-preço, por isso é ótimo saber que isso foi reconhecido. Lamentamos que a experiência com a promoção não tenha sido tão fluida quanto deveria. Tem toda a razão — não deveria ser necessário lembrar algo que já está registado no sistema. Agradecemos por ter mencionado isso, pois ajuda-nos a melhorar os nossos processos internos e garantir que não volte a acontecer. Quanto à atmosfera, agradecemos a sugestão e iremos considerar alguns ajustes para tornar o ambiente ainda mais acolhedor. Esperamos voltar a recebê-lo em breve e proporcionar uma experiência ainda melhor! 🌟

I’ve been to the restaurant tonight with my family, attracted by the excellent reviews read between the fork and Google. When in, the waiter asked us several times if we had booked through the fork (with a 30% discount). We ordered a dish to share, some appetisers and a main course: the first dish to arrive is the salmon (indicated on the menu as a slice plus vegetable aside), result? a piece of salmon with 1 potato, 1 piece of broccoli and two slices of carrots. Cost? 20 euros. After 40 minutes (while waiting for the main course) the waiter approache to ask us if it’s everything ok, there he realizes that the main course was never sent in preparation for the kitchen. We asked to have the bill, because at this point we were tired of this terrible service, and when we complained that we had had different treatment from the other guests just because we had booked with the fork ,the waiters didn't even try to deny it. A total scam, pay attention.

Overall the experience was nice, the staff was friendly with some good advice and was also attentive. The dishes ordered was a good portion, albeit felt a bit over cooked with some of the seafood. The white wine sangria was very nice and refreshing, especially after a long day of walking. The location of the restaurant is located in a quieter part of the city, which was nice being tucked away.

We were 4, booked through The Fork and enjoyed a special treat. The service was good, ambience - just okay, and the value for money was without remark. We ordered grilled octopuss, grilled sardines, octo carpacio, two soups, a huge seafood platter for two, (1/2 lobster, prawns, octopuss, mussels, clams, cod fish, two desserts and 3 bottles of red Lisbon wine, which was quite good too! All in total for a little less than €200
