Sommelier Lisbon

Booked online and received a call within 5 minutes from the chef to discuss requirements. Had the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairings. Stunning food and equal stunning wines served by a great waitress and sommelier. The chef continued coming out most most courses to discuss the dishes too.

Amazing food and good value. Wall of wine is amazing and you can taste wines which was fun. Staff super friendly too

I never put 1 star reviews but here's my evening. Based on the reviews we decided to try out this restaurant. At the begining we were friendly greeted and sat at the table. The atmosphere was nice and the local is really clean and good looking. The sommelier came and advised us on what to take , so we ordered 2 glasses of wine. We started with a nice big cheese plate and then for later we ordered a dish which was pasta with fish. During our seat the waiters were very nice but after we finished our wine we wanted to taste more so we asked the waiter 2 times for the wine card and she said the sommelier would come and help us. He didn't pass by at all, and paid attention only at the other table ( there were 2 tables occupied only) . This kind of already ruined the mood. After eating the fish and pasta we asked for the check 4 times - it took more than 20 minutes to receive it. During the meal we also had water which we thought was on the house since it wasn't on any of the menus. When the bill arrived I see we were charged 7 euros for the water - it's not about the cost but about the transparency: nowhere written about water cost. When I put my card to pay, the sommelier asked me for a tip - personally I feel like tips should be earned , not asked for - especially if you brand yourself as a high class restaurant. So because no one served us more wine, we waited 20 min for the check, no transparency on water, I decided I didn't want to give a tip. When he saw this he just took all checks (even mine) , turned around and ran away - really child behaviour : acting all offended and didn't even say thanks or goodbye on our way out. Never coming here again . Also, unfortunately the wine tasting machines were broken so it was just ordering through the menu - no problem here. As I paid for 2 water bottles , I wanted to take with me the bottle which I didn't finish - they took it back because I can only drink it inside.

Great food. Amazing atmosphere.

Good value for money. Great meat "entre cote". Service was a bit chaotic.
