Service took a long time, seemingly understaffed with just one waiter and one chef. Drink order was incorrect. Meals did not come with all ingredients listed on the menu. Waiter brought cheeses, breads and dips without explaining that these were paid for individually if you had any. Luckily we didn’t touch them until we asked. The fish was really not that great and had lots of bones. Try another restaurant. There are better quality places nearby.

The chef/owner recommended Petrarum Domus, but maybe only did that because it was one of the few...restaurants open. There were 3 tables with customers, so the service should have been good. It started okay, but by the end of the evening, they wanted us to leave and started banging around in the kitchen and bar, turning off lights, and didn't offer us dessert, an after-dinner drink, or anything, even though there was another couple still eating (dessert, brandy, and coffee). They completely ignored us and we had to ask for the check twice. They overcharged us by 4.40 for couvert items that we did not open (we didn't notice this until we got home). The food was good, but nothing special for the prices. None of us will ever go back there.

Both times... wait staff not great, starters ok, mains just didn't taste good. Tried the bacalhao (cod), the bitok (steak with egg), and another fish dish with spinach. Even the wedge fries with the steak were bad... reheated. Frankly the only good items were starters... grill chorizo and the bread/cheese.
