Dropping one star because the charcuterie board was bad. It could have been enjoyable but they cut the meats way too thickly… if they had been in thin slices as they should have been then it have been perfect… this was lazy on the part of whoever prepared it. However the cheeses were yummy & the seeded bread tasted like it was baked fresh, it was so soft. I got the tuna steak medium rare… absolutely zero exaggeration when I say it was the best meal I have ever had!! & I’m a big foodie whose had countless amazing meals. This was just 10/10… everything on the plate perfectly complimented everything… each mouthful was bursting with nuanced flavours. Two thick juicy tuna steaks that were so tender served with sprouted alfalfa, colourful baked vegetables, caramelised onions, the most perfectly cooked & flavourful tiny sautéed potatoes… a winter squash purée garnished with thin slices of radishes… this meal was simply divine!! To drink I got a couple of “el Diablo” cocktails… which was tequila, ginger beer & lime juice, garnished with a spicy chilli… this was very yummy & refreshing… it was a hard to pick because the cocktail menu was huge & the had a big selection of other drinks too but I’m happy with my choice. My date got a burger & he said it was yummy but to quote him “they f****d the egg” lol… because the fried egg inside was poorly placed so the yolk dripped outside it & all over the plate. We were too stuffed to have dessert. I would definitely love to return here. The service was friendly & attentive. The weather was lovely & the view of the lagoon was beautiful. The ambience of the place was great but I’d be interested to be in the outdoor area at nighttime because I loved the vibe it gave off… and the music they were playing was really good.

First of all, the customer service at this restaurant is 5* I cannot fault it! Every one of the staff that saw me, and my friend were so helpful and eager to serve with a cheerful smile. Shout out to Tiago and the team. Tiago was exceptionally amazing. He didn't only serve us food, but he also dished it out for us, and intentionally 'waited' around us regardless of how busy they were just in case we needed something else. Then let's talk about the food...oh my!!!! Delicious! Absolutely delicious!! 5* quality taste. On the first night, we had seafood Paella, which was mind-blowingly delicious!!!. Then we came back again 2 night later and had the Octopus dish, all I can say is...try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed. Thirdly, the view overlooking the seashore added an extra joy to the whole experience. I thank God we came here. I am very pleased.

I absolutely love this place. I have been twice in 2 days and may go again before the end of my holidays. I found it online when I looked up the best place to watch the sunset. It does not disappoint. There is an amazing view from their outside seating area. It is best to book a table, especially around sunset time, to make sure there is a table available for you. I went at the end of December so it's not as busy as the summertime and still there were lots of people there. All the food and drinks I've had there have been amazing and i would highly recommend it to anyone who loves sunset food and drinks. All the staff I have had the pleasure of meeting have been super friendly, attentive, and amazing. Thank you to all the amazing people who work here who have made it one of my favourite places to go to in Faro

We had lovely food here but unfortunately the service was not great. It took pretty long for someone to come to our tablw to take orders and at that point finding out if the dish was gluten free proved to be hard. While we were eating our lovely food I saw a dish being ready, chef rang the bell, few minutes later again. Chef came out to see if all serving staff quit or what was happening. The plate eventually landed on the table after 9 minutes. They had 4 serving staff and 6 tables at that point. No check back was done so we couldn't compliment the chef. We had to wait ages for the bill as well. Holiday season is coming so they will have to really quickly catch up as there's so many other fantastic places in Faro and the view won't compromise for the lack of service.

The restaurant is a good place for dinner with live music. It has an outdoor seating area that overlooks the ocean. However, the experience might not be suitable for everyone as there is a local train passing by frequently, which could be a unique experience. The food and drinks served were good, and my friends enjoyed their grilled lamb and tuna salad. Unfortunately, my steak, although it was cooked medium-rare, was very tough to chew. To be fair, Portugal, in general, doesn't seem to know how to cook a good steak, so I would advise avoiding ordering it. Nonetheless, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant, whether you choose to sit inside or outside.

Utterly humiliated by the server (possibly manager) who went on a rant at us for sitting down for one pitcher of Sangria and *didn't order food*. Restaurant was literally empty, it took them 30min to ask for our order, but apparently the tables with a view are exclusively for dinner, even if place is empty. 5 stars for view and drink. But make sure you communicate your EXACT PLANS in advance and don't change them no matter what! We chugged the pitcher in under 2 minutes and left. A different person came after us to ask if everything was ok but no point really with drink chugged and bill paid.
