One of the parties ordered tuna steak and the waiter didn't even ask how we wanted it to be cooked and we had to ask that it is medium/razy. When it arrived, it was medium/good done and looked quite dry and not very appealing. The other two guests of the party had the seafood they enjoyed. There was a TV in the restaurant and there was more of a violent/bleeding movie that wasn't really suitable for eating. The staff was pleasant, and the place was cleaned, but I would not visit or recommend as there are better places to eat in Cascais.

The sauces with the shellfish were delicious. The platters for two are a great selection. Worth a try.

If I can give you advice, it would be to go to the next door (restaurant o pescador), which is much better at all levels: food, price and service. read more If I can give you advice, it would be to go to the next door (restaurant o pescador), which is much better at all levels: food, price and service.

A bit disappointed by the Mascaria plate for two, but many of the other dishes looked good. The house recommendation for wine was also good.
