| - Food was very tasty, but EXPENSIVE.
And the service was SLOW. Took around 90 minutes after ordering for our meal to show up - grilled sea bass, grilled shrimp, Horta, fries, mushrooms. None of these items should take any more than 30 minutes to cook. Our server kept assuring us that the food was coming right out - it took 45 minutes after the first time he promised.
We were so hungry, we asked him to just bring the side of fries right away. He laughed, saying that the food would be RIGHT out, but said he'd being the fries immediately.
The fries arrived 20 minutes later.
The food, 15 minutes after that.
No apology. No acknowledgement of how long it took.
Every other table around us seemed to be annoyed for the same reasons.
Group of 3, bill came to nearly $250!!
We asked for a bit of bread. They charged us $6 for 6 half-slices of toast. They said it was homemade olive bread, but it was tasteless and nothing special.
For such an expensive restaurant, is it so much to expect that a few slices of bread be complimentary?
Such a beautiful, relaxing location, and for some reason, they BLAST euro dance music, to the point where we could not hear our waiter or each other. There was NOTHING relaxing about the choice of music and it killed the atmosphere.
Again, it was good, but worth half the money they charged. They want to charge high-end prices, but give you poor, slow service and nickel & dime you on the extras.
We won't go again.
