Monte Mar Lisboa - Restaurante — Restaurant in Lisbon

Ambiance: right in the water, you can hear the waves under you, you're right along the river and they bring blankets out for you when it's cold

Service: attentive and quick to come around and pour wine when empty

We were celebrating my partners birthday - usually restaurants like this will gift something small but didn't.

The table across us had 4 people and they all got a comp glass of champagne.

Inconsistent.

Food & Cost:

We spent ~€200

What we ordered:

We ordered 1 kg of sea bass which was €80. We got it grilled. Nothing spectacular but good for what it is, super fresh.

Comes with a side of boiled potatoes.

Mussels with garlic + coriander: solid but a bit light on the mussels - would order again

Prawns and garlic rice: again basic dish, rice was a bit undercooked not very tasty. - would not order again

Wine: ordered a bottle of white wine, Esparo (sp.) - solid bottle of wine that drinks close to a white burgundy. Dry, minerals and great complement to the meal

Overall a decent restaurant but would likely not go back again because of personal preference.

I'm a fan of savory foods with actual culinary effort and this was grilled seafood with...

We’ve attended the websummit and saw this nice seafood place at the time out market, we really liked the food especially the mix platter that me and my colleague shared, we even went here twice because of the nice experience on our first try, however, when we went back on the second time, we just find it weird that the lady (act like an owner, so i assumed she is the owner) doesn’t allow us to sit on where we’ve seated on our first time we ate there (at the bar type table on the side of their stall at time out). It was really disappointing because we know that there are a lot of people finding for the seats so we really waited until the other people to finish eating so we can get the spots, but when we’re about to sit, the lady just said we are not allowed even though i showed the receipt of our food and stated that we are just waiting for our order to be served and eat there. She still insists that we are not allowed and then few minutes later some other random guys ask for it and they allowed them to sit there. I just hope that it is not something about the race because other than that incident, the food is...

The service was the worst I have ever experienced, the staff appeared to be lost. The only pleasant person in the entire place was the hostess, whom looked scared and intimidated by the senior server whom only came to our table once. If I needed anything like a beverage I had to raise my hand to get a servers attention. The food was totally ridiculous, we started with an polvo salad as an appetizer, it tasted like frozen 🐙 with water flavor, terrible , we order the mix grilled fix plater for two and it was nothing more than 1/2 of a fish , two squids and four shrimps, six potatoes and lots of broiled broccoli 🥦. Terrible, no flavor or presentation, no one ever came once and ask how was the food. To get the bill I had to get one of the server's attention, I paid with a credit card and wanted to leave cash for a tip I asked the server to change a 20€ bill and again I had to get his attention for the change. Very desapointed with everything, I was looking forward for a good meal and everything with my relatives and it was a disaster. I will never patronize this place or the...
