I went to the Solmar as a treat for all the touring i did in Lisbon. This waiter didnt come to my table for hours after we sat down and as soon as he came he gave us a small plate of seafood and said tht we ordered it when we didnt even order yet. So i nicely told him that we didnt order yet. He started to go off on me in front of my children and told me that if i didnt like the dish that i shouldn't have orderd it. So finally to be nice i stayed and finally ate food that i orderd. That night for 3 people i payed over 100 euros because of that nasty dish he gave me. Worst place to eat. For a small meal or good service or even good food....don't go tot he Solmar.

I went to Solmar about a week ago and there I had what is probably my worst experience in restaurants ever. Apart from the fact that the food was poor (which, let's face it, is not so uncommon in the touristic center of any European city) they simply swindled us. Without ordering it and with no explanation whatsoever, the waiter placed a small plate of seafood on my table. In a brief conversation that I had had with the maitre some minutes before we started dinner, I had mentioned that I also had a restaurant, and he told our waiter to "treat us well" so I understood that it was an invitation. At the end, they charged me 38.38 euros for that little plate that, I insist, nobody ordered. We actually ate it because we did not want to look unpolite because it was really mediocre.
We tried to explain but they simply did not want to know anything, so we filed a complaint.
That place is a trap.
