    Nice place, starters were nice, but the cod and sword fish nothing special. Never offered a dessert once they asked if we had finished they gather the plates and brought us the bill without even asking. I suspect they were closing for new year eve at 19:00 (we made the reservation at 17:00) but still we could have had our dessets in 15 minutes. Really spoiled my wife's birthday dinner. Pity because the place was nice. The food nothing special considering the cost.

    The octopus tasted like rubber! It was impossible even to cut it! I asked to replace, it took 30 min and they offered the same rubber octopus no better than the first one. In the end they charged us as normal. We were hungry and totally disappointed. It’s a shame for a restaurant to offer this kind of food and not admit it was a disaster. Avoid this place

    The food, service & ambience were really good. I’d say the food was exceptional. We were disappointed with the quality of the wines. We tried red, white & rose but struggled to find any that any of us like & were definitely not difficult to please regarding wine.

    One of our favorite spots in Lisboa, the food is delicious and the service is great - friendly staff offer recommendations as needed, but all of the food is good. Especially worth a taste is the beef tartar, and the bartender makes an absolutely amazing Espresso Martini.

    Highly recommended for a modern take on traditional Portuguese meals! The sardines and lamb chops were especially amazing. Great service too.

    The restaurant lived up to all the positive billings and ratings. The only regret we had was that we made an 8-pm reservation. We should have made the reservation for 6-pm so we'd get to spend more time enjoying the experience. Great place. Lovely ambiance. great staff. Nichole is an angel. Even the other diners are friendly and cordial. great place, great experience

    It’s wonderful! My experience was great! The food is very tasty! I ordered a seafood dish called “Pecado Perdoado” and my boyfriend ordered Lamb with mushroom risotto. They were divine! The Service is really good too!

    Missing orders, 1:30 for the main dish to arrive, when it does it was disappointing. Owner was more interested in courting a guest than in actually helping the staff, which was friendly but completely overwhelmed. Turist trap.

    The restaurant was cosy, the service impeccable and friendly, and the food divine. We weren’t expecting much but were really impressed by the tastiness and quality of the dishes, much more than we were expecting from a restaurant in such a touristy neighbourhood

    I'm haven't been in Lisbon for a long time so I sorted by rating, looked at pictures and booked a table. This place has incredible reviews. I should have noticed the incredibly touristy location and figured tourists are making up most of the reviews. The food was pretty disappointing, especially the ceviche looked like it had been cut beforehand and has been sitting in a tupperware, possibly frozen too. The rest was pretty underwhelming as well. The cocktails were a disaster. Definitely avoid. It does not stand up to the review score it has.

    Very good the food, expensive but fine with the 30% discount with the fork. Still 12€ for a basic cocktail looked extremely high
