Lisbon Cafe - Jericho

It was a nice day, so we called ahead to check if the outdoor seating is still available. And it was. I would clean the cushions on the outside seating area, as some have black spots (especially as they went with white/beige cushions). Overall, the service was sufficient, although it seemed like they forgot about us outside for like 30 minutes towards the end of the meal. We got the paella, mac&cheese (for the kiddo), stuffed clams, and the grilled octopus app. Food was great on all fronts, although I think the pricing is a little too high.

The Lisbon Cafe was once a favorite spot for my family during special occasions. We used to enjoy the delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. However, upon my recent return, I noticed some changes. The management had changed, resulting in a different overall atmosphere. The owner did not greet us warmly, the waitstaff did not engage in friendly conversation, they did not change our silverware between courses, and they did not serve the complimentary salad with the tasty dressing we used to love. The bread at the table was not warmed, and the complimentary chips were stale. They also stopped providing tableside pepper cracking. Despite the still excellent main dishes and drinks, the overall atmosphere and service have declined. When paying top dollar, one expects more than just good food.

We recently hosted a party for 40 people at Lisbon Cafe. The valet service made parking convenient. The staff was exceptional. The food was excellent. It was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Both us and our guests plan to become regular customers at this restaurant!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I was amazed by their seafood paella and octopus dishes. The seafood paella was a delightful mix of flavors, with perfectly cooked rice and a generous variety of seafood that tasted incredibly fresh. The octopus was tender and had a delicious smoky flavor that left me craving more. The combination of these two dishes created an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere and service were also excellent, making it a perfect destination for a memorable meal. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Love the grilled octopus and escargot! Very warm atmosphere, generous portions and reasonably priced. They have specials for $25-40 few courses meals. Music is not loud so perfect for a nice dinner. A lot of seafood to choose from.
