Service

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was fantastic, especially the tuna and desserts. The ambiance was beautiful, but the service could use some improvement.

I highly recommend this place for its amazing mac &#39;n cheese burger and perfect fries. The desserts are also a delightful surprise!

Had read good things about this place and was not disappointed. I chose to have garlic bread which arrived in a paper bag - warm and tasty. The scabbard and passion fruit sauce was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. This is a very well run establishment. It&#39;s essential that you book especially if you wish to dine al fresco.

The food and staff were amazing, as always. However some of the customers let them down, there was a child on the table next to us, around 2 years old with a phone on watching something on full volume and a woman opposite us on a FaceTime call for the whole duration. If you&rsquo;re going to bring your kids with a phone or tablet, please provide them with headphones, if you want to make a FaceTime call, wait until you get home or go outside!! These people have no regard for the other customers.

I booked this bistro based on the reviews and what a delight!We shared the shrimp, which was recommended, for starters, followed by the fish of the day - tuna and cod with onions, a tomato rice (very yummy) and salad as sides. Everything was very tasty, amazing! Staff very friendly and spoke great English.

I booked the restaurant because it was recommended in my guide and I am glad I did. Despite being busy, the service was very quick, and they even offered us a little Thai soup when our samosas took longer than expected. The food smelled and tasted absolutely delicious. Highly recommend but make sure you book a table as it was full.

Wonderful small restaurant.  Waitstaff were knowledgeable and very personable.  The food had a richness and intensity of flavours.  Great choice if you are looking for an alternative to traditional Portuguese.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was excellent, and there is a very kind and friendly gentleman who made us feel at home. We tried the shrimp and leek risotto, and it was absolutely incredible&mdash;flavorful and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended!

Great place. Food quality 👌 tasty authentic friendly waiters nice atmosphere. We would definitely recommend and hopefully return. 👍

Have walked past the restaurant many times during our visits , it was just suprisingly good and so close to the Palms .Pricing represented excellent value for money.

I highly recommend this restaurant for its authentic Portuguese food. The waitress was very kind and attentive, and the dishes were fresh and flavorful, making it a great choice for lunch or dinner.

good choice of menu and very tasty food.  surprisingly good dessert menu - bananas with passsion fruit was delicious, but share - it was huge.  excellent value.  will definitely go there again.

Very nice dinner in Ponta do Sol. Sat outside and was greeted with a shot of Madeira. It was a busy Friday night but the hardworking servers still smiled. The fresh fish was very tasty, although the appetizer bolo, well infused with garlic, was my favourite. By the time I was done the last outdoor table was taken but they did not rush me. I will go back.

Always good quality, can recommend the fillet steak skewer special. Homemade chips, crispy maize and homemade desserts. Some may find this a bit pricier than other restaurants on the island but the food is worth it and atmosphere is well worth it. Taxi pick up from the hotel and back is a great touch!

Have visited here previously and know the fish is always extremely fresh and beautifully cooked. We took friends in their first visit to Madeira and they loved it. We had sea bass, red snapper and stone cooked steak with chips, baked potatoes and vegetables. With 2 glasses of wine, two beers and water it was excellent value at &euro;150 and we enjoyed the wonderful view of the fishing boats and sea from our table in the terrace

Strange mix of menu items which doesn&rsquo;t fall into the Japanese/Med concept however food we had was good, service good and view is beautiful.

The food was excellent.  Service was fast. The restaurant overlooks the bay in a slightly quieter area. Portions aren&rsquo;t huge. If you only order one item each, it may not be enough.

The view was phenomenal, the staff both helpful and knowledgeable and the food was delicious. Impossible to ask for anything more!

Best place we&rsquo;ve eaten in Madeira so far!!Very authentic place!We were the only clients in the restaurant which was a bit weird but the food was extraordinary. We ordered 2 different slow cooked meat plates and both were so good!Would highly recommend!

always a ten, Stephen and his crew Raul and Jesus take phenomenal care of us and guests we like to experience what we think is the best steak house on the island

Fantastic food, service a bit slow at the start, but we were compensated with a free desert, which was a nice touch. Waitress was lovely and really helpful in the choice of a reasonably priced bottle of wine. Highly recommended.

Lovely authentic setting. Warm welcome and friendly service. Outstanding food and very generous portions. Recommend the scabbard fish with fruit&hellip; amazing! Thank you

Very nice place with excellent friendly service. The portions are generous, and the meat is very good. Don&#39;t forget to try their delicious sauces!

The food was fresh and delicious .  The service was amazing.  We had the scabbard fish, the pork tenderloin tagliatelle, the Mexican meat and everyone was very happy with their meals.

We greatly appreciated the service as well as the wood in the restaurant, probably one of the best we had while staying in Madeira. Thanks a lot for this nice experience
