in the last weekThe owner of the restaurant was extremely rude in front of all restaurant when we pointed out we got served not what we asked for. Not only when they were bringing the food was always missing something, the portions extremely small and expensive. The worst was how rude the staff and owner were. If u consider go here DONT! You will eat badly, pay overpriced food and probably be badly served. First time in Algarve this happens

a week agoOur experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The food was tasteless and lacked any real flavor, and the seafood we ordered took hours to arrive. By the time it finally came, the entire experience had already been ruined. What made matters much worse was the behavior of the waitstaff. Their attitude was incredibly disrespectful, and one staff member made an insulting comment about my wife’s weight simply because of the amount of food she ordered. That kind of comment is completely unacceptable and has no place in a restaurant. We brought our concerns to the manager, expecting at least some acknowledgment or an attempt to resolve the situation. Instead, she told us that she didn’t care. That response was as disappointing as the service itself. Poor food and slow service are frustrating, but being insulted by staff and then dismissed by management is completely unacceptable. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.
