    It’s not a procedure expensive restaurant I mean it is expensive but the service is terrible. The waiter is not welcoming and the heat what they do they bring your brat and they charge for that they bring you olives they charge for that, but they have to say it in advance nobody asked to bring Sites they both sides and charged for that as well and the fish was tasteless

    The food was good, but not for this price, also we went there mostly for oysters, and the prices in the Fork menu were not the same as the prices in the restaurant, they were higher. So this was quite disappointing, as at the end the oysters were very expensive to compare to what we counted for; but in general very nice place, great view, just pretty overpriced.

    Great food and amazing view but the service was extremely slow. One waiter to service 8 tables. Waiter was not friendly. We sat outdoors and it was extremely hot, better cooling for the outdoor area us needed.

    This 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!

    Pricey 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.

  • Cindy M.1 review

    June 16, 2025

    5.5/10

    The 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.

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

    The 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.

    May 8, 2025

    7/10

    Overall, 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.

    From 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

    Everything from the service to the food to the view was fantastic. Probably the best fish (grouper) I ever had.

    Bread 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.

    Monte Mar - LisboaOwner

    Dear Matt Meyers, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.
