We went during a transition period for the restaurant, the head chef and the creative force for the restaurant had just announced that she was leaving and it was being transition to a new head chef. We ordered the option with less moments because we had forgotten we had this reservation and had ate a larger lunch before so we were not that hungry. The first that came out was a beautiful beet tartare (I don't eat raw beef so they replaced the beef tartare) and a pickled mussel which I didn't care for the flavor for either. After that was the bread moment which the bread was delicious but disappointing that from a 5 moment tasting menu bread was 1 of the moments. We then had the leche de Tigre that was very delicious After was the hamachi which was delicious but was only two small pieces The next was the ox tongue that I felt I had to force myself to eat. The tongue was cooked boiled and didn't have much flavor but it resulted in a texture that I didn't care for. I love eel but the piece was so small I couldn't even tell it was there. Finally the dessert, the yuzu rice pudding with jasmine ice cream was okay. The ice cream felt like it had gotten freezer burn and was not sweet at all so the balance felt thrown off. We had some of the most delicious desserts in Portugal so this was lackluster. The surprise desserts were good but nothing that blew me away. I'm interested to see how the concept changes now that it's under new leadership because this was very disappointing especially at the price point it was.

Our table wasn't ready so they had us sit at the bar. Ended up getting the Gun Smoke bourbon based cocktail. Good, but boozy. After getting seated, from start to finish the staff was top notch. I was leaning towards the 7 "moments" dinner, but the server convinced my wife that we needed the 10. She is pregnant, so her's was modified. I loved 5/10 the pasta and artichoke dish she had as a sub was maybe my favorite 2/10 I liked were dessert. The bonus one was delicious too. Needless to say the food didn't wow me for the price (303€ with 2x 10 moment meal, 1x cocktail, 1x mocktail, and the 10% suggested gratuity). It was a great experience, but didn't quite live up to the hype.

They are not joking when they say that they serve the best octopus in town. The octopus is so tender, and the garlicky sauce along with the potatoes are so delicious. We also ordered the fish of the day which was a grilled sea bream served with sautéed vegetables. The fish fell right off the bone and was so flaky and grilled to perfection. They heard that we were celebrating our honeymoon, so our server gave us some complementary chocolate cups of ginjinha. I highly recommend that you book a reservation in advance. They fill up quickly, and we were lucky to snag a seat. The atmosphere inside is cozy but elegant. Easily one of the best meals we had on our trip, and we will definitely come back the next time we are in Lisbon!

Highly recommend for a nice night out.

I didn't realize the Portuguese eat a little bit later at night. It felt like I was in my own private restaurant so that was super funny to think about. Otherwise, though it was such a vibe, it has such a cute interior with paintings on the wall a Christmas tree on the side and a more modern wooden finish. Bathroom is also located on the first floor and it's very clean. Service was fantastic. My waiter, Nabil, was so friendly. He chatted with me and told me a little bit about Portugal. English was not a problem for him and I had no trouble as an English tourist. Service was fast, and he checked in with me every couple minutes. I had gone here as a recommendation from a coworker, and it was fantastic. The duck confit was cooked so tender and served with rice and spinach. The rice tasted cheesy and rich and it was also perfectly balanced with the meal. I highly recommend that as a dish! Otherwise, though, I ordered the green wine and it was pretty good. In Lisbon, I was told to try the green wine because it's from a specific region. It tastes kinda like a Chardonnay.

We ordered the: -Octopus Hot Dog (of course!) -Roasted Sardine Niguiri -Pan Sear Prawns and Garlic -Tuna tartare on toasted brioche with white chocolate and lime -Fried Seabass -Lobster Roll -Fried Scallops Overall everything was pretty good, but I wasn't in love with everything. The one stand out dish was definitely the Fried Seabass. It was really good! Sadly the Octopus Hot Dog was a bit underwhelming as I kept getting some hard pieces with every bite. The service was very friendly and quick. So although I most likely won't be coming back, I'm glad I tried Sea Me. Croacker Ceviche

There is one private booth table which we selected. It is a tapas style restaurant, so for two of us we ordered 6 dishes plus a dessert. The staff explains the menu and that a lower section shows larger dishes. We loved everything that we ordered but especially the lobster roll (their take don't expect a Maine style roll), sardine nigiri, garlic shrimp (the sauce was incredible and came with bread) and the dessert. The food came out very quickly but we were having dinner at 7pm. The total for two people was around 80 euro with the discount, but we did not get drinks other than still water.

This is the only restaurant in Portugal that asked for a tip. Afterwards I realized they ripped me off because VAT was included in my meal price. Don't fall for the tip is not included, it might be because I am American. My server was on the grumpy side and never once smiled, but I think that is his personality, he smiled for no one. Food: I ordered the pasta with chile, calamari, and shrimp. It was a unique pasta with garlic and tiny amounts of ginger, that played very well and there was like 2 chile rings and then calamari and shrimp. The pasta was cooked perfectly and right amount of sauce that just played well together. The calamari was cooked to perfection as was the shrimp but a few were not cleaned properly but everything tasted good. The chile did have a tiny bite so somebody might think this is spicy but was not for me, finally something with flavor. I did not eat all the pasta because then I ordered the octopus. The octopus was not cleaned properly but the texture was spot on and the taste was great, I added some of my own hot sauce on the side to give it some kick. Odd to have a boiled egg with the octopus, good taste but the green ring indicates the egg was overcooked. Everything was temperature hot and served fairly quickly. WiFi available. I should have just ordered the pasta because that was fantastic! The octopus was okay but took some work to clean. The pasta gives this place a 5. Service and tip with VAT already included would drop to 2. The octopus is 3 stars. But the pasta was the best meal thus far in Portugal.
