Restaurante A Rede — Restaurant in Lagoa

Avoid at all cost. We ate here last week and while we found the food average and overpriced we could have forgiven that. However our main concern was one of the head waiters who from the moment we sat at our table made us feel uncomfortable. He repeatedly asked my 2, 4 and 6 year old children if they had boyfriends and girlfriends and if not he would find them some. He also leaned in over me to debone my fish resting his arms on my shoulders despite me telling him I could debone my own fish. Perhaps he was trying to be funny but he just made us uncomfortable. He was rude to the other staff members and he just seemed unpredictable and on edge. We queried the bill as it was much higher than we expected with lots of little extras having been added. Despite this we paid the bill in full as we just wanted to leave but as we were leaving my partner (much to our regret) mentioned to some people who were coming into the restaurant to do themselves a favour and eat else where. At this point the waiter starter shouting that we had no money and hadn't paid our bill. My partner was startled and had my 2 year old in his arms and then the waiter spat at him. My partner stepped back and asked what he was talking about and then the waiter lunged forward and kicked my partner in the back, he then picked up a loose cobble stone and threatened to throw it at my partner. Other customers started to stand up and another waiter got in front of our waiter pushing him back trying to calm him down but he kept trying to come at us. He shouted "Son of a b++ch" at my partner as we were walking away. The whole incident probably lasted 3/4 minutes but we were left so shaken and our kids were...

Delicious food and great service.

We came here for my sister’s birthday and it was great. It has a lovely, unique interior that is modern and enjoyable. The staff are attentive and helpful.

We ordered a mixture of pastas, meat skewers and pastas. I am vegetarian and unfortunately found the quantity of options poor, but the meat eaters had great options.

The starter of bread with garlic alioli, sardines, cheese and sun dried tomatoes was actually my favourite part. The bread was warm, soft and crispy. The sundried tomato and cheese were incredibly good, especially with the garlic alioli. This is a must have!

The meat skewers were a big hit, and came out on fire with sizzling plates of vegetables. The lasagna was also superb. We ordered mousses and ‘the world’s best’ chocolate cake for dessert. They were pretty good. They also brought out a dessert and sang happy birthday to my sister.

Great experience,...

Based on what we ordered (Piri Piri chicken and the "Blackened Angus" burger off the specials board the food was a little disappointing; 1/2 or 1/4 chicken chopped into pieces and full of bones, frozen burger in a floury bap with tomato and raw onion. Other tables had some very nice looking prawn skewers so we probably just ordered the wrong thing. Didn't get a drinks menu with the food menu. It was then brought over when the waited asked what we wanted to eat but felt rushed into making a choice. Jug of white sangria was nice and plentiful. Music entertainment then came round asking for tips and was very persistent. Would go back as it wasn't terrible but order...
