The service was friendly, and the location had a nice view. The trout was good. It was my first time trying espada, and it wasn't my cup of tea. The boring side dish was a disappointment.

A nice restaurant with a sea view terrace and well maintained garden. You may choose mains from meat and fish sections, few starters for selection too. To our taste , the dishes have a lot of fats in it , but were still delicious. House wine available.

Lovely view and garden, super friendly waitresses, lovely flavour on all the food, the fish could have been a tiny bit juicier but we were very happy over all and definitely recommend. Clean and nice smelling rest rooms as well! We are very content! Thank you for the nice experience! :)

What a great last minute find! We were looking for somewhere to eat on the way back to Santana, and found this place on Google maps and decided to give it a go. Perfect choice the service is amazing, our server Paola checked on us all the time to make sure we're enjoying our visit, recommend a great wine, and was overall very welcoming. Our food was fantastic, the Tuna steak was to die for, and portions are very impressive. All in all great place for a quick lunch or a relaxing dinner special shout out to Paola for being an amazing host!

Nice restaurant with big portions and tasty food. Prices are very reasonable. I really loved the espada and maracujá mousse. It’s a pity they don’t serve lapas. A beautiful garden with fish ponds helped pass the time while waiting for the order
