We had a huge 45 day dry aged steak for three, perfectly cooked medium rare. For sides we had spinach, veggies, and this unusual mix of mushrooms, eggs and potatoes that sounds odd but the flavors just worked together and was delicious. Paired with the perfect red wine at the recommendation of our server. We finished our meal with two desserts, their specialty the Bola de Berlim, and a cheesecake. If you are a meat lover, this is your heaven, coupled with the ambiance for an amazing experience!

The food was outstanding and the value was very good for the quantity and quality of the food served. We were originally going to order 2 entrees but our waiter said that it was too much food. We decided to split an order but our server said this would still be too much for 2 people. We ended up sharing a half order of pork cutlets and it was plenty of food. The pork cutlets were nicely grilled, tender and moist. With the pork cutlets and an order of fries there was more than enough food for the 2 of us. I'm glad the waiter helped us with the ordering. It was a great start to our vacation. We would highly recommend a stop here for a great meal with good service at a reasonable price.

It was cook medium rare but tougher than an uncooked skirt steak. After three bites I called it quits. Hard to believe a filet mignon could be that tough and flavorless. Also order the Gratin Dauphinois with bacon. Funny thing was, I couldn't find any bacon and barely found any potatoes. It was just a mass of coagulated cheese. My wife and I split the seafood ceviche which was flavorless salmon and tuna with a few bits of shrimp. Lastly, my wife had the mushroom risotto which had great mushroom flavor and it was loaded with a variety of mushrooms but it had an excessive amount of cheese which also made it extremely salty. From a food standpoint it was an utter failure. The service was fine and the ambiance was nice but the decor was quite cheap looking. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

They were able to accommodate a last minute booking & even sat us in the upstairs area to accommodate our stroller. It was definitely more of a Vegas feel than I was expecting, very "hip" think dark and loud music. Service was impeccable; truly never had to even lift a finger not even to refill our water cups. Some of the food was hit and miss, but the hits outnumbered the misses and truly tasted so good we can forgive the one dish that wasn't amazing. We ordered the shrimp tacos for a starter - weird interpretation of tacos with less than fresh/warm tortillas and deep fried shrimp that would have been better grilled or fried in a different coating. It wasn't for us. However, let me say the steak was fabulous. We ordered the Brazilian steak and the filet mignon - the bark on the steak was excellent, full of flavor and plays on texture. We also very much enjoyed the polenta fries. The cocktails were also very good (crafted) especially at such a reasonable price $10-$13.

Looking forward to a good steak in Porto and was staying at the hotel. An easy decision to simply…read morewalk downstairs and try Rib. The place was busy with guests and our server was nice, but a bit overwhelmed. It looked like they had too many tables to be serving to give the level of service they thought they were giving from a management perspective. We asked about the recommendations on their beef choices and our server tried her best to explain them. We opted for the T-Bone for two with grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes. The steak came and was beautiful. It was massive and pre-sliced off the bone-a nice touch. But as we made it through the steak, there was an inordinate amount of fat and especially gristle versus the meat for a T-Bone. What looked like it should be a "10" ended up being about a four. As for the side dishes, the mashed potatoes were truffled. I don't know if that was for panache or just because the spuds were kind of bland. The grilled vegetables were practically swimming in oil- so much so that you had difficulty putting your fork in some as they slipped away. There were no salads listed on the menu and I had to actually ask if there were any to be had. The server say there were and I ordered one that was nice. But I think (as I've seen in some Portuguese eateries) they downplay the salads because they'd rather not deal with them a la lazy. There were many other menu selections to be tried, but I didn't return for a second try. My impression was that they thought more of themselves than maybe they should and it probably applied to other entrees, etc as well.

We also ordered some port tonic to go along with our drink. My only qualm was that the Francesinha was very salty so that could be toned down as an improvement. I would definitely recommend making a reservation if you're going at a peak lunch or dinner hour. We made a reservation for 12:15 pm, and that worked in our favor because the restaurant opened at 12 pm and there was a long line already.

From the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel like we were the most important customers ever to walk through their doors. Our waiter spoke very little English but that made the experience even more charming because we found a way to communicate. There was an employee there who spoke very good English, but rather than just sending him over our waiter (who turned out to be the owner) stuck with us and made the extra effort. The food was out of this world and when we were done eating he brought us some type of a homemade after dinner liqueur that was just spectacular. As hard as we tired to get him to tell us how he made it, he wouldn't budge and I don't blame him! One piece of advice, don't try driving there because parking is non-existent. But, don't let that discourage you. Take a cab, an Uber or find any other way you can to get there. It will be worth your trip.

After having drinks and appetizers on the water and striking out at another riverfront restaurant,…read morewe decided to check out Mescla. Situated on the side of a hilly street, this beautiful, modernly decorated restaurant had its doors open all across and had a great vibe. We were informed they didn't have any open tables, but we were free to sit at the bar and wait for one while we enjoyed a drink, so we did. No less than 10 minutes later, a table opened up. The menu is divided into appetizers, small plates, and entrees. I chose two appetizers as my meal (spicy pulled pork and yuca fries with aioli mayo). My companion got the Picanha (sliced beef), which had super interesting flavors: thinned-out refried beans, a puree that had bananas in it (we're unsure what else it was mixed with), and roasted veggies. My pulled pork was super moist and flavorful and came with these corn bread-style cakes. I could do without the corn bread cakes but the pulled pork was exquisite and not spicy despite it saying so on the menu. The staff was fantastic and customer service is their jam. Everyone who walked in was greeted and told of the dining options. Rarely did we see someone walk away. Everyone opted to have a drink at the bar while they waited for a table. Highly recommend Mescla!

But I will say that that was probably one of the best steak that I had in Lisbon. However, I will warn you that the kitchen doesn't open until a certain time. I had ordered the steak appetizer and it was so tender and melted in your mouth. They also mixed it with a curry flavored sauce with cauliflower. And the cauliflower was really good texture of nice and firm and it absorbed the curry sauce. I honestly think that it was extremely delicious and I would go back. Otherwise, the ambience alone was super cute, it felt like I was in a rainforest with industrial concrete caves. There was a lot of of plants a lot of modern design and also a back room full of seating. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. If you also are able to finish eating fast, it's located. It's so close to the waterside so you can go out and enjoy the view. Place was also English friendly. Service was fast. Service was fast in and out within 20 to 30 minutes.
