We were a group of 9 Asked for a table at around 915pm 2115 hours We were promptly told the kitchen closed at 10pm 2200 hours We got tables arranged inside as the terrace area was full of diners which is brightly lit by fairy lights The servers both older male (50s) and female possibly 30s Were very abrupt and u peasant unwelcome in their manner towards us We got the table and even though they said the kitchen was closing soon they took alô g time to get our order which delayed the time available Found them quite rude Yes it was towaeda the end of the service time but they should say closed and not possible rather than accept us and serve us with an attitude Very disappointing with that type of service Eventually got our food A member kitchen staff came to say one of the dishes was not available and would ha ran alternative Food fairly average overall

Super disappointed with the food. The place looks cool from the outside, nice terrace, quiet area, good service, however the food was disappointing, the food we got did not reflect the price that they charge for. My partner and had the leitão croquettes for starters and the Octopus for main, both of the dishes were tasteless, no seasoning, no salt, all they did was make the plate look pretty and tasteless. The leitão croquettes were purely skin and fat inside, also we could taste the oil which was deep fried on it. The octopus and polenta was our biggest disappointment, I could not taste the difference between the polenta, the peppers and the octopus, but I could taste plenty of balsamic vinegar which the chef loves using to decorate the plate. This was the most disappointing meal I had in Lisbon, if you are charging €18 for a dish the food must be impeccable. I would 100% NOT recommend this place for either drinks or dinner, overpriced for...
