I had chosen 5 Oceanos for my wife's 50th birthday celebration dinner out of a huge choice of restaurants in Lisbon. I had requested a quiet table inside by the window and had advised that this was a 50th birthday dinner but when we arrived we were given a table just inside the gazebo opposite the restaurant and no acknowledgement at all of the occasion. We ordered a plate of sardines (excellent) followed by 2 grilled squid, which arrived cold (including the broccoli and carrots on the side). Not wanting to complain we just ate them as they were, but this was very poor. The final dish was the seafood rice - more of a seafood soup with rice inside than a proper rice dish such as we experienced in Porto. The mussels were clearly frozen and not fresh, and they did not smell good at all, so we did not eat them. The white wine we had was very good.
We declined to have dessert and paid the bill. Not a single comment all night regarding my wife's birthday - we were not expecting any freebies, but really? Does no one review bookings and make sure that a table is looked after particularly well and the food comes out perfectly? Especially for somewhere that cost 160 euros including tip. I hate leaving negative reviews but this was very disappointing for the occasion and given the competition...

Paying a premium for the location as the food was definitely not as good as can get elsewhere.
Upselling the breads/olives/meats to start is common in this area and they did mention relative costs for all they brought to table. It’s not nice to see the same plate of meat then be passed after several rejections from table to table…not appetising in the least.
Best thing we ate by far was the starter traditional clams. They have been best around and the most meaty. Was off to a great start. But then the fish served to my husband was as underwhelming as it was dry and over cooked. A fish restaurant should NEVER overcook fish. We should have sent it back as along with the broccoli and potatoes was not worth the premium. Broccoli was cooked well however, but with one slice of carrot beneath we weren’t sure if an accident or under portioned….the Cataplana was alright. Nothing to write home about, but not a patch on others had in area. And altogether was rather expensive for what it was.
Service was professional but not very warm. We dislike also a wine choice being given and served when the waiter knows what you are looking at and the price range. It was an ok wine, but when almost doubles in price I believe you should be informed upfront.
I don’t really like being asked how much gratuity you want to add when the bill comes. Not had that in any establishment in Lisbon and Cascais before. Normally the better the place, the less they are likely to mention it, but you tip more because it was better and shouldn’t be discussed.
If I could redo last night I would have paid the €16 each way for an Uber and headed to Lota da Esquina in Cascais instead. It would have been about the same in price and we would have been blown away by what the same dishes really should have been.

Recommended by our hotel concierge, 5 Oceanos offered delicious seafood and outdoor seating in a wharf/marina setting. While the service was a bit spotty and uncoordinated, the food was good and the price was very nice. I had my first taste of bacalhau a bras, a traditional Portuguese dish featuring a salt cod, egg, and potato mixture ... and I am hooked for life. Shared appetizer, 2 mains, a bottle of wine, and port to finish the meal for 65 Euros ... could they have made a mistake on our bill?

This restaurant is recommended by tour guides and hotels, but never by the locals and here's why. The food is mediocre. We ordered seefood with rice that was plain- missing salt and spices. Octopus that was bitter. Steak with shrip that was brought without any shrimp on the plate and potatoes instead of rice. Bread was stale.
But the worst was the waiter with an attitude. Messing up with our steak order and telling us it's all our fault! Arguing with us and giving us attitude the whole time while we were sitting there. Not a smile or a nice word since we entered the restaurant. Rolling his eyes at us!!! He actually rolled his eyes when we said we don't want any water :).
We did see him smiling and being nice to english speaking, loud talking people at other tables, so maybe that was his rude reaction towards us speaking russian amongst ourselves!!!
Overall, the food is too expensive, not worth the money, the waiters don't provide great customer service to all the customers, but only the ones they like personally.
Stay away! There are plenty of good restaurants you can leave your money at!

I don’t recommend this restaurant. Very rude waiter. He started to smirk at us after we ordered juice and sangria instead of water that he suggested. He talked and giggled to nearby customers, but kept on avoiding us and looking on us grumpily from the get go.
Afterwards, he brought my husband a wrong dish, didn’t want to change it and insisted that this was the food my husband ordered. (My husband ordered steak with shrimps, the side dish (originally confirmed by the waiter) was supposed to be rice. The dish that arrived had no shrimps and had potatoes instead.
The waiter became even more rude after this incident and didn’t come to our table till the very end. He never apologized for the mistake or improve the atmosphere. He made us feel very uncomfortable and unvelcome instead. I never experienced such an attitude before.
The food itself was ok, just mediocre and for the prices we paid ($160 for 4 people) I think we could have gotten a better experience.

This is the worst restaurant we visited in our 1 week stay in Lisbon. It starts with completely understaffed and overwhelmed service that cannot get you water on the table for 30 min. At some point I got up, went inside and ordered at the bar. The waitress couldn’t handle the stress. The bread that came to the table was old and chewy. We ordered some sardines as a starter which were bathing in grease covered with greasy onions. The fish was overcooked. Etc etc. a complete tourist trap with horrible service. Stay clear of this place, there are other very good restaurants in Lisbon. This is not one of them.

We saw some negative reviews from a while ago and they worried us. However, we were so glad we went to this restaurant. First of all, the location is fabulous; on the river and overlooks a nice marina. The people were all so friendly and helpful….and the food! We started with a wonderful charcuterie, ham, cheeses, olives, bread and this was followed by a delicious whole grilled fish which we shared. With potatoes and broccoli it was very flavorful and satisfying. It was unfortunately a rainy evening but they very kindly ordered us a cab which literally stopped steps away from their door. We were so happy to not be out in the pouring rain trying to hail a cab! We had a great evening, they were wonderful hosts and when we are back in Lisbon, we will be sure to return!

It was recommended to us by the reception of the hotel we were staying at, we went on a Friday around 3 pm, all the tables with a view were already occupied, we really liked everything we ate, good wines, we even found the white Redoma. What was very unpleasant is that they serve a type of crab and give the customer a hammer to break the shell, the table next to it was in full activity, we were eating and listening to the hammering, in another situation we would have left but the service from the waiter Vasco da Gama was so kind that we even forgot about the inconvenience. For the record, the perpetrators of the hammering were Brazilians.

Heavenly oasis in Lisbon, filled with elegant local Portuguese people out for a special meal. So grateful for my experience. Not expensive, yet very elegant - food is fresh and elegantly served, waiters are attentive, kind and competent. Would love to sit here all day….!

I have no idea how this restaurant has so many good ratings. It was expensive and the food was disappointing. They boiled the shellfish so all flavour was washed out. The grilled octopus lacked any of the desired smokiness of a grill. The next day, we ventured out of Lisbon and had amazing authentic Portuguese seafood for half the price.

Let’s start with children menu which came late. White wine delayed and brought without ice and let for half hour in the sun.
Between the sardines and main course 1 hour … and still waiting…
We have eaten now all bread and drank all wine … it came and it is delicious but careful when you go there if there is only one cook … it will be late.

Since Lisboa's known for its seafood, we were eager to go to a restaurant by the water (river or sea) for the ambience and for what we were sure was going to serve fresh seafood. Our driver, Pedro, luckily disapproved the restaurant we had in mind which we found online. He took us instead to 5 Oceans and it was a brilliant choice. Located on the marina at the Tagus River with the Ponte 25 de Abril Bridge seeming to spring overhead, blue sky, bright sun: I mean, how wonderful was that, sitting outdoors with a lovely breeze to complete the ambience. Our wait staff was ever so patient as we perused the menu and asked all kinds of questions, while eating the most delicious bread! We had the Oysters, Tiger Shrimp, White Seabream, Lobster, I forget what else - all of them super delicious!!! Service & food & surroundings excellent in every way! Would love to go back on our next visit to Lisbon.

Right on the water. Amazing fish, great ambiance, excellent service and good wine. The rumble from the overhead bridge is unusual but I think it added to the overall vibe. Restaurant was packed the evening we went, it's obviously popular. We loved how we were shown our fish before it was baked in salt and served with fresh steamed vegetables. If I lived in Lisbon I'd be a regular here.

The food was excellent. Three people shared a large sea bass perfectly prepared. HOWEVER, the service was slow and uncoordinated. It took almost an hour between the appetizers and the entrees. No one came to check on us.

Went here for a Sunday dinner. The service was average to bad, it took a while to get new bottle of wines when ordered for.
Generally we tried multiple appwtizers sea food based, they were all hit or miss so good but nothing special. For main meals we had fish rice and grilled fish, the fish rice waa average at best and the fish was actually bery good but that is usual for Portugal.
The restaurant itself looks quite nice better than most in the area.
Generally, I would say there are many better restaurants just down the road in my opinion.
