I ordered guacamole for the table. The portion was small for $15. Chips were average. It was mediocre at best. Entree choices were eclectic. I ended up ordering steak tacos (2). They were absolutely tasteless. Other party members had average meals. This place is trying to be a high end Mexican restaurant with prices to match. Also, the owner(?) was not particularly friendly.

This restaurant is new and seems to be going through some fine tuning. That is my opinion. Many of the staff seem to be new and are being trained. With that said, the food was very good and they had many interesting drinks. The price was very reasonable and the food was brought out quickly. I will absolutely go back in a few weeks and try again.

We arrived at Lisbon Cafe at 3:00 pm, atfter lunch hour rush and we had the luxury of dining al fresco. The staff were friendly, attentive and knew the details of the menu items. We ordered three appetizers - Grilled Calamari, Bolinhos e bacalhau, Portuguese clams. The sauce of the clams was out of this world! We mopped them out with soft bread! The combination of clam and pork sausage was perfect! The grilled calamari paired well with peppers and tomatoes.
The cod cakes were melt in your mouth soft.
For main, we ordered Feijoada de Mariscos, Bacalhau a Lagareiro, and Chanfana Cabrito (Braised Goat). The meal was served with salads and rice. We ate everything with gusto and with delightful satisfaction!
Great food and exceptional service - this restaurant is a gem!

I've visited Lisbon Café twice and had two different experiences.
The first time I went to Lisbon Café for dinner, my family and I had a great time. It wasn't packed and the staff was helpful. We ordered a pitcher of white wine sangria and when we mentioned that it wasn't strong enough, they added more white wine to the mix at no extra cost. We ordered the hot antipasto, paella, branzino, and Portuguese pork sausage. All of the seafood were fresh and delicious. The sausage was alright; although it looked cool to be torched, it was actually overcooked and didn't taste that good.
My first experience was so great that I decided to bring my family back again for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, because it is Mother's Day, the restaurant was insanely busy and the staff could not keep up with all the tables. We were seated right away with our reservations but we were probably there for 3 hours. The food took forever to come out and it wasn't the same quality as the first time either. The paella looked undercooked and the rice was soaked in oil. The fried calamari was not crispy; the batter was soggy. The octopus was actually tender but I felt like it could've been more charred. The Hot Antipasto flavors were pretty much consistent as the last time.
I would still rate Lisbon Café a 4/5. I understood that because it was a holiday, the restaurant was going to be busy, but I wished they were able to manage everything better.
Came here with my boyfriend and it was the best experience ever! The waitstaff was amazing and the wait was minimal. Overall I had an amazing experience and I will definitely be returning soon! The food was amazing and the restaurant itself was beautiful!

One of the lady server has really bad attitude. She took my card for the check, and took really long to give it back. Very poor customer service. She cleaned up our table when we were not even done dining and we had a final dish. She also made a face at us. Never coming back because of her again!

I don't know what was going on but I went this past Friday night and the tables were empty. There were no specials that evening and several dishes on the menu were not available. I was disappointed to say the least.
