The view is honestly the main reason to come&mdash;you can see the ocean and Pico from the terrace. Food&#39;s fine, the buffet was decent, just don&#39;t expect anything fancy. Good spot for a casual catch-up with friends though 🌊

Clams were the highlight for sure. Fresh, briny, cooked just right. Place is a bit pricey though, you pay for the view. Which is pretty damn good. Food&#39;s solid, locally sourced stuff. Not a bad spot if you&#39;re okay spending a little more.

Lovely spot for a relaxed lunch outside. The salmon burger was really good, and the staff made sure I had everything I needed without hovering.

The lighting in there is something else&mdash;soft, warm, makes you want to stay longer. We shared the catch of the day and it was cooked just right, flaky and simple. Not cheap, but for the vibe and the view, it felt fair. Maybe a bit slow between courses, but honestly, I didn&#39;t mind.

Excellent!! The food was amazing and the service just as great! The fish is so fresh. The tuna and sea bream dishes were spectacular!!

The lunch buffet is a solid deal &mdash; lots of options and everything tasted fresh. Service was friendly too, didn&rsquo;t have to wait long for refills.

The food was good, and the staff were nice enough. But service really dragged in the evening&mdash;we waited a while between courses. Fine if you&#39;re not in a rush, just don&#39;t go when you&#39;re starving. I&#39;d probably come back on a quieter afternoon instead.

The fish poke bowl was pretty good &mdash; fresh and the portion was decent for the price. I&rsquo;d order that again if I&rsquo;m in the area. Nothing fancy about the place, but it did the job.

The gin selection is what got me&mdash;so many interesting ones to try. Setting&#39;s got that old-school charm, super lively. Food&#39;s fine, nothing crazy. Service dragged a bit when it got packed though.

Stopped by for lunch on a work trip. Got the alcatra, meat was properly tender, no complaints there. Place was busy, we didn&#39;t have a booking but they sorted us out quickly. Service was efficient, which I appreciate. Fair price for what you get. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something reliable.

The owner&rsquo;s solo sailing stories are all over the walls &mdash; felt like a tiny museum. Grilled fish was solid too.

The owner saw us hesitating by the door and just moved a table outside for us. Place was packed but she made it work. Food came out quick after that. Nice when someone actually pays attention like that.

Stopped by for a caipirinha and ended up staying longer than planned. Drink was properly strong, not too sweet. Got the fish of the day too&mdash;they actually explained where it came from, which I thought was cool. Small place, easy to miss, but worth it if you&#39;re in the area.

Been here a few times now, tried different dishes and the local wine. Family-run spot, food&#39;s honest and well made. Nothing fancy, but it works.

The tuna and the regional steak were really good. They handled my allergy request without any fuss, which I appreciated. It&#39;s a small place, so we did wait a bit for our food. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality makes up for it. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Food was solid, nothing fancy, but the sea view is fantastic. Staff were friendly enough, place was pretty quiet though. Good spot if you&#39;re in Horta and want something easy.

Cozy terrace, perfect for sunset. The alcatra was hearty, really rich flavor. Lime mousse was a nice light finish. Service friendly, just got a bit busy later.

Stopped here for a quick bite right on the waterfront. Got the grilled fish and it was simple but fresh. Prices are fair for the location. Sat outside watching people go by, pretty chill vibe. Service was fine, nothing fancy. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The buffet here is solid for the price. Salads and soup were fresh, nothing fancy but filling. Paid a fair amount and left full, that&#39;s all I ask for.

Came here on a quiet afternoon and honestly, the buffet surprised me. Kept seeing fresh dishes come out, everything I grabbed was decent. Just remember they only take cash, which caught me off guard. Seating was comfortable enough, didn&#39;t feel rushed at all. Nice little break from the busy tourist spots.

Been coming here for a while now, and the buffet still holds up. Plenty of choices, and the food&#39;s always fresh. Staff remember me by now, which is nice. Portions are good for the price, honestly. Only thing is it gets busy on weekends, but that&#39;s a good sign, right?

Decent spot for a quick bite. We got a large pizza and fries for &euro;20, fed the four of us easily. Portion was generous, even had leftovers for later. Nothing fancy, but fine for what it is. Service was okay, not rushed. Probably come back if we&#39;re in the area.

The bife steak with egg and fries was alright for the price. Beef a bit tough though. Shrimp pasta was better. Nice outdoor seating by the park.
