The food was tasty but the service was slow. As a result the food was not as hot as desirable. Unfortunately the tea candle below the serving tray was not sufficient to keep the food warm. Otherwise it was a pleasant experience and would recommend a visit.

very nice, although we had an incident which they did not let us know that the reservation was just for an hour and half but they ended up letting us stay longer

The food and ambience were great, but the level of service was way below what a restaurant at this level should allow.

The Cafe Paris entrecôte was wonderful. The espresso martini was really well done.

Very nice restaurant, the staff are great and they are not invading you or rushing, they make sure you have everything you need while keeping the distance while you enjoy the food without pushing you to order new food or dessert. Something many restaurants miss these days. The ambience is amazing, private and calm. But of course the food was the best part, very delicious plates and great portions. The combination of tastes is perfect, everything we had was so good. Definitely will be back, one of the best restaurants yet

My favorite restaurant is Lisbon! I love the classy ambience, the waiters really make sure that we spend a beautiful evening. The food is very good, it's all "simple" dishes but always very tasty, with a bit of creativity, it is my favorite! A perfect place to date your partner, celebrate life and love, and have a delicious dinner! By the way, I loved the pop corns at the end, very nice touch!

Lovely atmosphere, decor, etc. but foodwise you can do so much better in lisbon for that price range. Nothing was bad but nothing was outstanding either. So it felt like a waste of time for us as we only had 5 days in lisbon and we wasted one lunch there. After lunch we head straight to the time out market and continued to eat there! And then we were finally happy about our lunch. So you know what i mean...

Our table was booked for 1930hrs but the doors were shut and we had to wait outside for 20 minutes until they opened. We chose to sit in the outside area, which was a mistake, as we were the only ones in there. The food was brought out and served by the waiter. The food was delicious and the waiter was polite and attentive. We asked for the bill and booked a pre-payment taxi to take us back to our hotel. The waiter returned with the card machine to take our payment but found that it had not been charged. He then went to get the other machine but that wasn’t charged either! We were then unable to leave as we did not have any other means to pay the bill. Our taxi arrived but could not wait and left. About 30 minutes later the machines had charged sufficiently so we could pay. We ordered another taxi that arrived 40 minutes later. What was a pleasant evening and meal at XXL at Oliver was overshadowed by the incompetence of the person responsible for charging the card machines.

I discovered this great restaurant last year when visiting Lisbon! Had a wonderful experience, so this year I had to come back and this time I brought two others couples! Started with Very kind greetings, we sat outside and it was just lovely! The food is excellent- we all got the cod!! The Portuguese potatoes are a must!!! The dessert must include the soufflé!!!! It was perfection.

Service very slow. Cocktails (and bottle of wine) took very long to come. Excuse was only one barman was available for outside and inside restaurant. Order to Campari & sodas — only one came…eventually as, we were told Campari had finished! Outside area/terrace really nice addition but it has to come together with good service.
