    We had a good time with an accommodating waitress who made us feel at ease and welcome. They assisted beyond the basic and made the day relaxed and special.

    Everything average and mediocre. Although I booked in advance we were seated right by the drink station where the waiters cleans glasses and collect drinks which didn’t make for a relaxing atmosphere and most definitely not a romantic Valentines meal. Waieter left us unattended for long periods and we had to search and request service. We skipped pudding and coffee and rather went somewhere else

    Sadly one of the rump steak espetadas we ordered was so tough it could not be cut even with a steak knife

    Absolutely outstanding experience! The Seafood Espetada was perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavour — every bite tasted fresh and beautifully seasoned. The Seafood Platter was generous and impressive, with a great variety cooked to perfection. The Lemon Sole was delicate, flaky, and finished with a light, zesty touch that really elevated the dish. The service was attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfectly suited for a relaxed yet refined dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top-quality seafood and exceptional hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!
