Restaurante Pearl — Restaurant in Faro

We visited this restaurant because a friend had recommended the sushi.

4 stars for the sushi. It seemed to be of good quality. The New Style Cevice was delicious. The rolls were just above average.

2 stars for the service. The lady was very attentive; however, her colleague paid nearly no attention to us despite only having two other tables in his section (which we sat in).

0 stars for cleanliness. We had to return 3 glasses because they were dirty with lipstick marks and had food specks in them. The first wine my partner ordered had a piece of aluminum foil in it. The second glass had black specks floating in it with lipstick marks all over the top rim. The water came in a custom bottle with a dirty/moldy cork. They told us not to worry, but never apologized and were more annoyed by the fact that we sent the glassware back.

Overall our hopes were high, but as the evening continued, we just wanted to pay our bill and get out of there. This place left a very sour taste in our mouth. The prices for this place does not justify the service it provides.

We will not return nor...

There were also a fruit try, various pickled vegetables, two salad types and potato chips as well as the various sushi and sashimi on offer in the buffet line. Only really three main types of fish on offer in the sushi, tuna, hamachi and salmon. The buffet was reasonably priced at...
