Espeto do Sul - Restaurante Rodízio Brasileiro e Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Aveiro

I arrived to a nearly EMPTY restaurant, both inside and outside on the patio, YET waiter balked at seating me in a 4 seater under a heater (NO 2 seater tables had heaters!), I said I would PASS as they were nearly EMPTY, he responded, BUT IT'S FRI. NIGHT! I went to leave & he SAID HE'D CHECK...LOL...finally agreeing to LET ME sit beneath a heater in his nearly patio/restaurant! But though I ordered as soon as he handed me a menu, a 25 piece sushi platter, PONZU SAUCE (which he said would have to be MIXED UP SPECIAL and pot of chomomile tea with honey, service was FAR FROM ATTENTIVE! They did start getting busy but when I was finally served, it came with A TALL FLASK OF THE SALTIEST SOY SAUCE, CLEARLY NOT SPECIALLY MIXED UP PONZU I REQUESTED, but he made NO COMMENT that WAS NOT PONZU SAUCE, yet after HALF MY DINNER WAS FINISHED showed up with a small serving of 'PONZU' after the UNUSUABLE SOY 'SALT FLAT' SAUCE went without comment!!!!

Shortly after, I flagged another waiter down to ask for more hot water for my tea AND MORE PONZU and he LITERALLY TOLD ME YO WAIT!!!

10 min. LATER my waiter came by to check on me (I've had no water, nor was I ever offered any, I told him I'd been been waiting for PONZU & HOT WATER and he eventually brought them BUT CLEARLY WAS NEVER TOLD BY THE OTHER WAITER THAT I HAD EVER WAITED!!!

The SUSHI WAS NOTHING SPECIAL but THE SERVICE & THE ATTITUDE 'WHERE BOTH below ONE STAR'!!!

And to top it off, THE LOCATION is apparently PROBLEMATIC for UBER as I was passed up by ONE driver 8 minutes away and then SELECTED by a driver 20 minutes away WHO THEN TOOK FOUR OTGER FARES WHILE I WAITED to be picked up Arriving for me 42 minutes AFTER I REQUESTED A RIDE!!!

ALL IN ALL this SUSHI IS A DON'T GO!@#$%

PERIOD! I LEFT NO TIP, CONVEYED MY EXPERIENCE TO MY WAITER & NO APOLOGY WAS FORTHCOMING!

HE JUST KEPT SAYING, 'but EVERYTHING ELSE WAS OK!?!'

What else is there beyond...

Since I was a clueless tourist when we sat down here, let me explain what happens. The place felt like it was more orientated towards the locals, no English menu and the servers didn't know English too well. Honestly this added to the experience, having fun with the server trying to communicate. When you order sushi, you get sushi, simple. Like any other restaurant. When you order some of the meat choices you can get salad fries and different snacks at the buffet, as it is included. Furthermore you will have a guy, the meat guy, walking around with a big kebab stick full of meat. Every time different kinds of meat. He would slice a piece off for everyone and then come with a new stick of meat. This continued endlessly until our bellies were all full. Think it was all you can eat but not quite sure, because of the language barrier. The meat was juicy and tasty, but also had some fat you had to cut away. There's a choice of sauces from the buffet,the rest of the buffet is mediocre, felt like some things were lying there for too long and got cold. Price was good we had 2 bottles of wine, one beer and a meal for 5 persons for just short...

I took the sushi buffet,but after they told me,i can only order again the things on the plate that the chef offer me instead of order what i want from the menu.

I thought i just got cheating...cause there was even not a real sushi on the plate,only the sushi rolls that's so called Makizushi not sushi,so i didnt get any sushi at all and pay 21 euros…

And the sashimi, the fish,Just not fresh at all,with ice in it ....

Usually i take over 100 pices of sashimi in ohter buffet restaurant,but here i just had 20 in case of getting sick...

So it was just a very sad experience to have meal in this restaurant,even sadder than my damn life..

In the end I need to say thanks to this restaurant it made me feel better to the...
