On
our
first
trip
to
Lisbon
and
this
place
came
recommended
so
I
made
a
reservation
via
Google.
We
were
a
group
of
6
women
from
the
US.
We
were
greeted
warmly
upon
arrival
and
seated
immediately.
We
instantly
remarked
on
the
warmth
and
attractiveness
of
the
space,
with
unique
artwork
and
agreeable
lighting.
At
that
time
the
restaurant
wasn't
crowded
just
a
couple
other
tables
of
diners.
This
is
notable
because
we
recognized
a
gentleman
who
appeared
to
be
the
owner,
as
he
visited
the
other
tables
in
the
restaurant.
Our
servers
were
gracious
and
polite
and
quickly
took
our
orders.
We
appreciated
how
quickly
they
had
the
bruschetta
dish
changed
because
one
of
the
guests
has
a
seafood
allergy.
The
food
was
amazing!
Among
the
dishes
we
ordered
were:
the
cod
momos,
curry
grouper,
lamb,
cod
loin,
duck
puff
pastry,
grilled
octopus,
and
pork
shank.
Everyone
absolutely
enjoyed
the
meal:
the
preparation
and
the
presentation.
We
then
delighted
in
the
panna
cotta,
salted
caramel
cheesecake,
and
creme
brulee
for
dessert
before
we
were
treated
to
a
shot
of
Portuguese
wine
as
a
digestif.
However,
much
to
our
dismay,
we'd
been
there
a
couple
hours
and
in
all
that
time,
the
owner
had
not
made
his
way
to
extend
his
greetings.
We
had
all
noticed
how
he
had
stopped
to
visit
with
the
other
diners,
but
did
not
make
the
time
or
effort
to
visit
ours.
We
would
have
loved
to
share
our
impressions
and
experience
with
the
restaurant
in-person,
for
we
had
an
admittedly
delightful
time;
yet
were
profoundly
disappointed
in
the
decision
not
to
approach
our
table.
Such
a
slight
greatly
discolored
our
experience
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
share
what
we
also
found
disheartening
in
this
review.
