Great food, friendly staff and the view is amazing, best in town. Live music on most Fridays and Saturdays.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, totally worth it.
There's one major downside to this restaurant: you have to pay & leave at some point... but as they say in NYC: There's no free lunch.Impeccable service, maybe the best food in town. Unsurpassed view over the bay. I highly recommend the bruschetta as an entree. The filet mignon is a delicacy. I only get to eat here about once a year, but the cuisine alone here is a reason to apply for cape verdean citizenship!
Very good food with a nice view.The staff was very friendly, courteous and always ready to help.The dessert (chocolate souffle) was the Highlight.We paid 5.000 CVE for two glasses of wine, two main dishes with fries and atwo desserts.
Really nice seafood and fish here. Also the Fogo red wine, served chilled but got better as it warmed up a little. Card payment accepted. A little exposed so it can be chilly outside if it's windy. Live music playing on the Saturday night we visited, not too exciting nor intrusive.
This place is a gem, recommended by a friendly local. My sangria, salmon, and ice cream dessert were all fantastic. The chef is clearly very talented – this is top-notch food, especially for the area. Plus, the waterfront view is incredible! Don't miss this place.
Fantastic food: ordered a few starters followed by marisco rice (half portion) and the langosta. The portions are very generous to say the least and all dishes come with sides of fries or similar so be prepared for a lot of food!
Beautiful view with nice food. The service was very smooth.
