10/10This is a beautiful spot right on the water with all the seafront in front of you. The fish was handpicked and fileted at the table. All 4 of us enjoyed our meal and will definitely return!

8.5/10Nice seafood restaurant with pleasant view. The staff were diffident as we were not Portuguese.

5.5/10Pricey for quality—the fried calamari are not incredible (soggy, tasteless) and accompanying rice was dry and uncharacteristic. My guest had a nice dish. Overcharged on the bill. Nice & quiet location.

10/10The ambience was fantastic! And the meal and service was the best we had in Portugal.

5.5/10The service was horrible. We tried to be patient because it got busy but the waiter took 45 minutes to take our order and we waited for a bottle of water for about an hour and a half. (Mind you, we had a reservation). We tried to pay for the covert and leave after waiting so long with no meal or water, but as soon as we did the waiter brought our food. As he served our plates, the waiter tried to blame the wait on the dish we ordered, which would have made sense except the issue with the service occurred before ordering our meal and at our request for water. As we were paying our bill, the waiter finally apologized and tried to give us a free glass of champagne but it did not make up for the poor service throughout. I would be more forgiving if the waiter checked in and explained there would be a wait or that they were short staffed but instead tried to hide behind the dish prep time. Overall views were great, food was decent, but I hope they work on their service.

7/10“The wine was not served at the right temperature, and at the beginning there was a bit of confusion among the staff regarding our table

9.5/10The server brought us light blankets when the weather turned chilly, and the salted cod was the best I had on my visit.

8.5/10The location is nice, with a view of the sea. The service was fast and the staff friendly. The food is of good quality, although perhaps slightly on the expensive side for what you get. All in all, a pleasant experience.

7/10The fix and ambience were very good but due to poor customer service the entire dining experience was not satisfactory. There are much better dining experiences in Lisbon.

7/10Overall, the experience was too expensive for what was offered. The food and wine were good. But for the price, the service should be much more trained and attentive. This was clearly not the fault of the wait staff, but whoever manages/runs Front of House. Our glasses were empty multiple times, they fumbled with taking the dishes away between courses, and we were sat away from the view, with a fairly empty restaurant. Normally these things aren't an issue but with a price point 2x more then average to the area, we expected a lot more.

5/10From the moment I placed my order,I specifically asked about gluten and dairy in the dishes.There were 2 soups on the menu:creme de marisco and fish soup.I asked if they contained flour,as I know that these types of soups sometimes do.They told me that I couldn’t have the creme de marisco,but the fish soup was gluten-free and safe for me to order(confirmed it with the kitchen).When I received my soup(€12 for a ridiculously tiny portion of 100ml),I immediately noticed that it contained cotovelo—which are made from wheat flour!So,clearly, it was not gluten-free.The worst part wasn’t even the portion size,but the total disregard for food allergies.The waiter simply shrugged and said,“Oh, sorry,”without any real understanding of how serious this situation could be.It’s unbelievable that a restaurant with years of experience has no basic knowledge of allergens and doesn’t even list them properly on the menu.On top of that,the service was cold an unwelcoming. And the way they handled the sit

2.5/10Bread is brought to the table initially and not explained that it comes at an extra cost. No tap water is served so obligated to buy a bottle of water. Service is bad if you do not order from the wine menu or at least this is the impression we got. A table that entered after us was served both starters and mains well before us (over 30 mins). So long such that the hot plates that the hot plates we where brought were now cold. We ordered soup that was never added to the order, knowing this fact the server did not ask if we even wanted the soup. Then we were ignored for the rest of the evening needing to ask for everything without any attention from the servers. Would not recommend definitely a tourist trap after your money.

4.5/10Lovely welcome but then no one attended to me or offered me drink for 15 minutes or more. I even had to ask for a wine list, somewhat misogynistic I felt. When I tried to order they had run out of Oysters. Brown Barnicles & slipper lobster starters are both pre-order. The prawns were, at best, average. There was a party of 36 & it seemed that the serving staff prioritised them, rather than individual tables. That said, the sunset was beautiful. But I won’t be going back.
