Geiko — Restaurant in Angra do Heroísmo

Geiko truly stands out as one of the finest dining establishments, offering an exceptional culinary experience that reflects the creativity and passion of its team. From the moment you step in, it's evident that every aspect of this place, from the meticulously crafted dishes to the stylish design and ambiance, is carefully curated to delight the senses.

While it's true that the preparation time for dishes may test some diners' patience, I can assure you that the wait is well worth it. During our visit, we savored the sautéed noodles with tofu, which were expertly prepared. The dish was not only fresh and flavorful but also a testament to the restaurant's commitment to using quality ingredients – a refreshing departure from the common use of rancid oil in many Asian eateries.

The carefully selected music added to the overall dining experience, enhancing the ambiance without overpowering conversation. However, I would offer a small suggestion for improvement in table service. Upon finishing our first dish and ordering our second, we noticed a big lapse in attentiveness from the staff, leaving our table and others unattended until the arrival of the subsequent dish. Enhancing table service would ensure a seamless experience for patrons and prevent any potential disappointment during the transition between courses.

Overall, Geiko offers a modern culinary experience that stands out on Terceira Island. For those residing outside of Angra, this restaurant alone is worth the visit. I must extend my gratitude to the main sushi chef, whose kindness, approachability, and culinary expertise added an extra layer of enjoyment to our...

The food here was nice, but I would not recommend coming here for dinner. We booked a reservation that was delayed by previous groups, so we were not seated until 45 minutes after our booking. We waited 5 minutes for a menu, 5 minutes for a server, received no drinks menu, received only 2/3 ordered appetizers (each with long delays in between), and then the main dish we ordered to share was quite small (Geiko special, 41 piece sushi/sashimi but most pieces are tiny). We starved for most of the meal, and by the time we paid and left we had been there for about 3 hours. If we had known, we would have ordered takeout or gone elsewhere.

The atmosphere inside is odd- there is a giant mirror running the length of the small restaurant, so half your party gets to stare awkwardly at themselves in a mirror for several hours. Maybe that’s a draw for...

I've probably eaten at 75+ sushi restaurants. This is the MOST unique. I read people's google complaints and didn't experience any of the negative stuff. The server and sushi chef were fun and friendly. The place is beautifully kept and the place settings are gorgeous. The food was high quality, diverse and delicious.

Regarding the prices and long wait times just take a look at people's pictures. How much do you think that fish costs?? How quickly would you expect someone to make that???? Beautiful art takes time. Beautiful artists should be well compensated. I suggest you go there, patiently sip a drink or two, talk with someone and enjoy the experience. If you want quick and cheap just go...
