"Significant food portion, friendly service, and view.
We all ordered only the main dishes and left 100% satisfied. The portions were significant and tasty. Besides Bacalhau com Broa in the picture, we ordered Bacalhau com Natas, Bacalhau Assado, and Borrego. All the dishes were delicious.
The service was excellent. This young lady helped us in many ways. By quickly solving our initial problem to get accommodate and order our food to bring our food and check out. She really made the difference."

"the WORST place to eat in this area. the only thing that is worth ordering are the beverages, but i hope the photo of the salad makes you think twice before sitting down here. i hope we won’t get food poisoning from all the heated up stuff."
