BIG SCAM AND TOURIST TRAP!!!
Not gonna lie the whole experience was horrible. We were led in to the restaurant thinking it would be nice. Some dude got us into the restaurant (kinda sketchy but at the moment it seemed fine). The food was relatively expensive so we all only got food and no drinks at all. As we sat down some of the waiters tried to have some very weird and awkward conversations with my friends and I, but that was not the biggest issue. The food was horrible. The steaks were salted to an extent that I felt sick afterwards. The risotto was pretty much 60% garlic and overall just kind of dry and disgusting. Definitely not worth the price. Now to the bill. I counted the money for the 6 of us and it ended up being around €120 for us. This price is okay, but when we were brought the bill, he showed us a picture of it on our phone and showed it for about 3 seconds, charging us €200. I have no clue where those extra €80 came from, but definitely not for customer service, as it sucked. We had to pay and could barely do anything to stop it, as they were very fast with it. Also, at the beginning they said that there is wine on the house. We ended up needing to pay for this and the wine literally tasted like grape juice with vodka poured into it. Biggest tourist trap ever and I feel ashamed to have eaten there. Avoid this at all cost. Any other place is worth it way more. Lastly, all the 5 star reviews on this are obviously faked so do not fall for them! Hope this helps anybody that’s new to Lisbon. It’s a great city and people like this ruin it for everyone.

**Restaurant Review: A Quirky Steakhouse Experience**
Nestled in the heart of the city, this steakhouse promises a dining experience that's both unique and memorable. My recent visit there was a rollercoaster of flavors, atmosphere, and service that I won't soon forget.
**Food:**
The star of the menu is undoubtedly the thin steak. Cooked to perfection, it had a delightful balance of tenderness and charred edges that offered a satisfying bite. While some might prefer a thicker cut, the thin steak here allows for a perfect sear, locking in juices and flavor. Accompanied by a side of crisp, golden fries, the dish was a testament to simplicity done right.
**Drinks:**
The beer selection is extensive, but what truly stands out is the "large beer" option. Served in a tankard that feels like it was designed for a giant, this drink is both impressive and refreshing. The cold, frothy brew pairs wonderfully with the steak, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you're a fan of lagers, ales, or stouts, there's a large beer to suit every palate.
**Service:**
The wait staff here are a charmingly aggressive bunch, adding a layer of quirky enjoyment to the meal. Their approach is direct and energetic, making sure that every need is met with brisk efficiency. Some may find their style a bit brash, but it's all part of the establishment's unique charm. They keep the atmosphere lively, ensuring that there's never a dull moment.
**Ambiance:**
The ambiance is a blend of rustic and modern, with wooden tables and exposed brick walls complemented by contemporary lighting. It's a cozy yet vibrant setting that makes you feel right at home while also keeping the energy levels high.
In summary, this steakhouse offers a distinctive dining experience with its expertly prepared thin steak, generously sized beers, and a wait staff that's both entertaining and efficient. If you're looking for a place with personality and great food, this is definitely worth a visit.

We had a nice evening meal here. Yes the wine was expensive. Before we sat down we were told the wine was 4 euro per glass. They charged us more on the bill. When my partner started to give out, they kindly gave us more wine. Then we had a good loughter looking at other recent reviews. The lady waitress was very nice and patient.
7.50 Euro for a house glass of wine. Brutal. How is that possible. The waiter gave me garage reasoning. They don't have the glass of wine price only bottles but that's unheard of here. And when they gave us the "bill" he was just giving random numbers and adding the total incorrectly. Then went on about how we can add what we want for tip because it's optional in Portugal. He repeated it twice.
The food was very average but way over priced. It wasn't my choice to go to and didn't want to go after my simple experience of walking by numerous times.
Hopefully others read this and stay away. I think they just try to scam people there.
