Maybe they were hoping we wouldn't leave because they had already put food down on the table? The only positive thing I can say is that they didn't make a fuss when we left.

The cheese plate was great, the dill marinated salmon was excellent, and service was also very good. Strange, just strange. For a fancy-looking place, I'd have appreciated a wider selection.

If it is after, closer to the back end which is up a small flight of stairs. If it's your first time stick to the classic steak entrecôte and the never ending fries. Start with a salad. Skip the bread so at to have room for steak and fries. The wine selection is superb. The service amazing but not overly fussy. This is bistro food. So no frills but that is what makes it extraordinary! Tip: watch what others order, point politely and say: "Ishto, obrigada!"

They do one thing and do it well: Entrecôte. Service was very friendly and the food was delicious.read more

There was a bit of a wait for our table even though we had a reservation, but the folks ahead of us who were at our table were having such a good time that I didn't even mind waiting for them to finish up their drinks. Our server was attentive the entire time which was very much appreciated. There's a cool ambiance about this restaurant -- everyone here (except me!) were dressed very trendy. We started off with a round of caipirinhas which were well made and strong. For pizzas, we went with the caprese and margherita pizzas which were a nice balance. The caprese was topped with fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes which were refreshing. The margherita was everything you'd expect it to be. If you're craving pizza in Lisbon, give this place a try!

As well as complimentary bread and butter we received a little pot of sardine paste and a round of delicious cheese as well, this is one of the things I love about eating in Portugal! It's important not to fill up too much though as the portions have a tendency to be large, and this was no exception. I ordered to polvo de galinha (roasted octopus) served with potatoes, onions and olives. It was delicious and really tender. Other dishes included bacalhau (salted cod) and picanha (steak). Even my 15 month old was happy to try everything although he wasn't totally taken with the octopus! Mine was so huge I had to get the rest to take away and there was certainly no room for desserts even though the bulging cabinet looked tempting! The staff were really friendly and accommodating of the little one. And the crab and lobster tank was a great distraction for him.

It's a big establishment that looks beautiful outside and inside. Our waiter was very observant, bringing another customer napkins when he saw the customer had spilled something on himself, and bringing us more bread when he saw we were almost done. However, he mixed up the combinations of our orders. The beef steak order was supposed to have Portuguese sauce with fried eggs but there were no eggs and it came with mustard sauce, which didn't taste as good as the Portuguese sauce. The chicken steak was supposed to come in mustard sauce and no fried egg but it was covered in Portuguese sauce topped with a fried egg. Pao Torrado Fatitas (bread) - .65 euros. 2 Manteiga, 2 Manteiga Alho (4 packs of butter)- 3.20 euros. The garlic butter was too addicting for my own good. The beef/chicken steaks drenched with either Portuguese or mustard sauce came with two free sides (rice, salad, etcand a fried egg for an extra charge. The chicken steak was only 9.95 euros while the beef steak was 15.60 euros. I absolutely loved the spinach purée side, it didn't sound appetizing but it was so bomb. Try dipping your fries in it! Overall, the chicken steak was a bit boring even with the sauce. They didn't have hamburgers left.
