9/10The food was delicious and the service very good. To start I had the Asparagus with Poached Egg, Parmesan Cheese and Toasted Almonds. This was a great combination. For my main course I had the Grouper with Foie Gras, Sautéed Vegetables and Vegetable Broth. The Grouper was cooked to perfection with a wonderful char grilled skin and the balance of the foie gras and fish was superb. The service was excellent ~ attentive but not intrusive.

10/10The restuarant staff made us feel properly welcome and at ease straight away. We hate it when everything is over formal. The front of house guys were professional, knowledgable and most of all, "human". Humour and measuring the customer is critical and these guys were on the money. Well done. Food. We went here because of the good reviews. My, my, my, everything we drank and ate was on the money. An excellent experience. This is not a "wheel em, wheel em out" tourist trap kind of place. Your satisfaction with everything seems to be a requirement, not just a "nice to have". I'm fairly sure if there was something wrong it would be put right in double quick time..... However, as there was absolutely nothing wrong with any of our meal, this wasn't an issue for us. 10/10. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. A lovely treat. Enjoy. P.S. .......going back on Wednesdsay.

9/10Great service, ambience and good quality/good value food. I loved that there were three soup starters for me to choose from as a vegetarian. From two veggie main courses, I chose the gratin (rather than a risotto, which I'm sure would have been nice). The concept and portion size were good but I found it rather bland. Wine, cocktails and desserts were very good quality and my carnivorous friends were content with their experience. Most exceptional was the service – it was clear that our hosts wanted us to have a wonderful evening.

+1We dine here every time we visit Lisbon. The quality of the seafood and the plate presentation is superb. Order the tiramisu to be prepared at your table! The staff is well-trained and very personable.

4/10Everything started off well, but then you get forgotten about and the place wasn’t even that busy. I don’t know if they were shortstaffed or what I would not return

9.5/10We came in, family of four, 7 PM. The restaurant was not busy at this time, The menu is simple but the food was outstanding, we had both meat and fish courses. The waiter’s wine recommendation was perfect, local sauvignon blanch. The service was very pleasant, always there at request, but never overdoing. The coffee and desserts were very enjoyable. The distance between tables gives a good privacy and the indoor decor is subtle and pleasing. We are vert likely t.d revisit this resturant.

6.5/10After two weeks in Portugal, we looked forward to a highly rated restaurant in Lisbon for one of the last dinners. The environment is certainly classy, but we were a bit disappointed by the interpretation of traditional dishes such as caldeirada of mariscos and pork, not very tasty. Wine list looked a bit overpriced, compared to other good quality experiences we had elsewhere. Service at time inattentive for such a high level location, fork and spoon were not replaced when main dishes were served and we had to call the waiter back. The suggested aguardente velha was very good. Alltogether, nothing tragically wrong but nothing attractive enough either to justify a high note.

10/10My first trip to Portugal and a birthday dinner couldn’t have gone much better. The two young gentleman that looked after myself and my lady did an absolutely outstanding job. A credit to the restaurant. Great Mixology on the cocktails and the food was delicious and well presented. 5 stars.

10/10The service was excellent, very friendly staff who went out of their way to make sure my gluten free meal was perfect and without issue. We had the shrimp appetizer and the beef tenderloin as our main. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend giving this a try. They even had gluten free bread that I was able to have with dinner and was able to dip it in the yummy garlic and butter sauce that came with the shrimp! 10 out 10!

10/10
The place is truly fantastic, evident from the moment you walk in. The bar and seating area look great, with an elegant and neat ambiance. The service is excellent – welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. We started with the cheese and ham board, which was generously portioned and offered an excellent selection of snacks. Next, we tried the onion soup, which was delicious but better for a colder day as it was very hearty. For the main course, we chose the shrimp from the "starters" section, which was spot-on in terms of flavor. We also had the beef tenderloin, which came with perfect puree, a great sauce, and nicely cooked meat. All our meals were paired with tasteful wine. To finish, we had a drink prepared at the bar, the fancy Negroni Sbagliato was a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone who values a great location, excellent service, and amazing food.

9/10Amazing experience as soon as we entered the restaurant, the staff were so lovely and made the evening really special. The food was also great although we did feel the main courses lacked seasoning, easily sorted though. Would definetely recommend this place and would visit again on our next trip to Lisbon.
