    The atmosphere and service were very good. On the other hand food was not so great: the soup of the day was definitely too salty and the fresh few fish and meat were served with an extreme abundance of sauce, which covered the real taste and the quality of the meat/fish.

    With discount it’s oke. Without it’s not worth it. The waiter is a nice guy. Price/ quality is a 6.

    The food was good enough, but not special as I expected. The staff was good and the environment was beautiful.

    Food was good, especially the soup. Very polite staff, just a quite “dark” and a bit cold atmosphere... it looks (and maybe it is, mainly) more like a cocktail pub, rather than a restaurant. The price is super-good, bacause of TheFork discount, so as the location: really close to the city center and Praça do Comércio.

    This was an excellent place. With my couple, we were having a lot of meals in different restaurants but we believe this one has been the best in term cost/quality. I would say this place is a really good choice if you want to eat starters (let's sat 3), drink some wine and eat desserts. The main dishes are not outstanding (still very good but you can eat similar in other good restaurants).

    This place was a great atmosphere for my birthday dinner. The interior is fantastic and the service was 5 star. Our orders were slightly messed up but our waiter made up for it with a free batch of fries and his great personality. We ordered several dishes and they were all delicious. Thank you for an unforgettable birthday dinner!

    We had a wonderful dinner! The selection of cheeses was delicious, the squash and persimon salad very tasty and the cod so tender and juicy. Th green wine was also great. Special mention to the chocolate mousse, pure perfection.

    My wife and I ordered a number of the Starters and were really impressed with the creativity of these dishes (especially for starters). The Lamb Tartar was something we had never seen on a menu before and found to be just phenomenal! We also had the Tomato and Peach salad, Civiche (bream), Sardines and a cheese plate with 3 ages of goat cheese. Honourable mention goes to the black garlic butter with the bread. Finally, the engaging service staff lifted the evening even further.
