| - +.5 for service
Summerlicious 2015 led me to Lisbon by Night Restaurant, as my family wanted to try some Portuguese dining, as we rarely eat authentic Portuguese food outside Macau.
The restaurant is on top of a flight of stairs, so if you can't walk up stairs...sorry you're out of luck (I took away a half-star there). Also, I reserved for a Sunday night at 7:30pm and the place was full house...so if you don't reserve, chances are you'll have to wait for a table.
This place is probably one of the few places that offer quite a large range of options for Summerlicious. I ordered the grilled calamari in wine garlic sauce, seafood risotto, and the fresh cream with sweet egg. I found them all to be very good, with my only complaint being that a couple of mussel shells would not open, meaning they were undercooked. However, my dad's Portuguese steak was overcooked, as he asked for medium rare and received a medium well steak. He also felt that the steak was quite thin, and for a $25 set course it could've been of a higher quality.
Service was great the whole way, and I found the waitresses overall to be able to keep up with the Summerlicious demand in this restaurant.
Will I return? Perhaps to try other things, but I am open to any better Portuguese restaurants in the GTA.
