My Portuguese business partners recommended this restaurant for our dinner tonight. We took an Uber, which initially brought us to the original location. However, we were dining at the newer restaurant next door, which has updated decorations and a cleaner look. We were seated on the second level in a semi-private dining room without a door.
We ordered a variety of special croquettes with fish, crab, and shrimp fillings, which are unique local Portuguese dishes. The Spanish jamon was delicious. We also ordered crab, but the roe had been removed and blended with spices into a paste, served on biscuits. This tasted average, as the crab flavor was not very prominent.
One of the special crustacean dishes we tried was Acorn Barnacle (Cracas), a cousin of the goose barnacle. Harvesting these barnacles is dangerous since they cling to rocks, but they are considered a delicacy. Although they look unappealing, they taste incredibly delicious.
We also shared steamed scallops, which were tasty. For the main course, we had grilled giant corvina, freshly caught. The fish was prepared in two ways: the roe was cooked with herbs and could be spread on bread or eaten on its own, while the rest of the fish was fried and served with lemon sauce, making it very flavorful. The dish came with sides like boiled special vegetables and rice, which had a strong taste that might not be to everyone's liking.
For dessert, we enjoyed a good spread, including a half-cooked sponge cake with egg yolk and sugar inside, which was a bit too rich for me. We also had cheesecake and chocolate lava cake. A word of caution when ordering port: ask for the price beforehand. The port we had was quite expensive per glass, equivalent to the price of a whole bottle at the airport!
The semi-private room provided a good ambiance for business discussions, but unfortunately, a group of families with many children running, dancing, and shouting around made the dining experience very unpleasant.

Fantastic! It represents the best of what is in Portugal... The kitchen, the service and the space. The lobster rice is exceptional, the Rodovalho (dish of the day) is very fresh and delicious. A lunch pleasure. It's really worth repeating, and repeating, and repeating...

This was the most bland sea food I’ve ever had, I think. Not worth it.
