Amazing food, great atmosphere and a very eclectic vibe. Our dinner was sensational, all 6 courses!! A reservation is a must, and it’s highly HIGHLY recommended that you go here. Our only issue, and not the restaurants fault was the obnoxious group of 10 Americans that we had to sit beside.

We don’t even know where to begin with this restaurant. It is by far the best experience we’ve ever had. From the staff to the food even the music everything was perfection. The fact there is a different menu every day is amazing and this is such a unique experience. As someone that didn’t previously like fish before this I am definitely converted. The owner was amazing and Nas the bartender will make you whatever you like you just give her 3 words of your choice when it comes to cocktails and she’ll deliver! We also met the chefs and they were amazing and so talented! We highly recommend getting the bar seats if you can so you can see it all happening! Our last note was that the music is also 10/10!

We made reservation in advance for 18:00 on Thursday. Confirmation email clearly stated that this is not a fast food restaurant and it will take few hours. Our dinner was about 2 hours. It consisted set menu of 5 servings and dessert, as well as some complimentary drinks. Water and bread are extra, but not very expensive. Interior, as well as food was simple, rustic and creative. Service was friendly and fun. Good selection of wine. We liked sea bass and mussels the best. Beef tartar was very good too.

5 course meal that emphasises SLOW cooking. Service is inconsistent between diner groups. As a solo diner, I was seated at the bar next to a pair of friends. At first, the server that guided me to the seat was friendly but as the night progressed, it gets progressively harder to get any server attention except when they are serving food. For my 7PM reservation: 6.45PM - Arrived 6.53PM - served bread and spreads 6.58PM - explained about “surprise menu” and given the drinks menu. Asked for recommendation with the food. She offered white wine. 7.05PM - couple next to me arrived 7.31PM - served tuna tartare (very yummy) 7.44PM - served this pork & tuna meatball - like starter (interesting, I like the flavour) 8.08PM - served clams (nothing special, not particularly delicious) 8.30PM - served codfish with pumpkin purée (can get at any other Portuguese restaurant) 8:55PM - served braised beef cheeks (super tender, but not flavourful nor fragrant enough) 9:38PM - served dessert - lemon mouse (10mins after I asked for it, and it wasn’t great) From the timeline, they seem to serve food at 20-40mins intervals. Very inconsistent and for most part of the evening, it was spent waiting for food to arrive. Yes 5 courses, but manageable serving sizes (even for ladies). I really don’t understand the great ratings and reviews. Will not recommend for solo dinners. They seem to thrive off group energy. For solo dinners, they pay you no attention and it was hard to get their attention. The difference was striking to me as they kept making conversation with the loud girls next to me and when explaining dishes, the servers always want to do it for the group of 3 at the bar but the whole time, they only make eye contact with the 2 girls and chit chat with them. This felt rude and off-putting. Even asking for a small dish for the clam shells was challenging. Either the server’s English proficiency is lacking, or she simply could not care less to help. At checkout, the server asked for feedback but it only seemed procedural. I commented that food is good but was much slower than expected. She only replied that it’s a 2-hour dinner. (lol I got surprised when I saw the timestamp of my photos)… Also, the bar seat is a bad idea as your hair and clothes will stink of the kitchen smells / torches for cocktails.
