Espada - Lisboa

We arrived on a rainy night, past 10pm, and the place was packed. We were wet, tired and hungry. We had to wait 20 minutes or so, which I couldn't fault them for as we didn't have a reservation. The server was nice and gave us the menu so we could decide what to order sooner. The place was quite dark, noisy as there was a lot of chatter. There were only two servers, and they were apologetic that things could take awhile. So we had to be very decisive to get all the food in one go because they looked swamped. What made up for it was the food, the arroz de mariscos was flavorsome, quite a nice reprieve. The shrimp curry was not very spicy for Thai standards, but for my delicate tastebuds it was how I wanted it. The scallops were cooked excellently, not overdone or overseasoned. So the 5 rating here is really not about vouching that this is the best restaurant, but how despite its limitations, the staff handled it well. And for no matter how grumpy I was, my spirits were lifted.

Even though our experience didn’t start well, during the night the staff made Change our mind. The tacos were amazing the tortilla could be crunchier and with less mayonnaise) the tuna with burrata was delicious. In general was a good experience but We are looking forward to seeing them improve!

Cheguei cedo, pelo que estava tranquilo. O local é ótimo para um encontro romântico ou de amigos, sendo um ambiente acolhedor. Pedi tacos de lavagante, atum braseado com burrata e panacota de baunilha. Apreciei muito os sabores e recomendo, mesmo para quem já comeu, que experimente neste restaurante. O vinho para acompanhar foi uma taça de tinto Dão. Tudo no ponto temperaturas certas.

Serviço muito bom, e boa música ambiente. Esperava um pouco mais quanto ao sabor das para iscas de choco.

Os meus amigos levaram-me lá no meu aniversário. O serviço absolutamente impecável, não podíamos ter pedido melhor, todos os empregados são super atentos, simpáticos e prestáveis. A comida deixa-nos com vontade de voltar, sem queixa nenhuma. Os cocktails são personalizados a cada pessoa e são uma delícia. A atmosfera tem boa música mas não demasiado barulho. É um 10/10 seja para ir com amigos ou um jantar romântico.
