Myself and my wife had a very busy first day in the area starting out at 2am so wanted an early meal so we could have an early night.
We chose Splendid for its high review rates and locality to us and we were certainly not disappointed. We arrived at 4.30pm asking if they were serving food yet and Miguel was more than welcoming, giving us the choice of the restaurant (very early for food so the place was empty) and we sat outside on the veranda.
We chose to share a garlic and cheese mushrooms which melted in the mouth and followed up with a Portuguese steak which was probably the best tasting steak I've ever had, and my wife had the salmon which was equally delicious.

Don't get me wrong, there are lovely restaurants in the marina but you will pay a great deal more for food there that's only of equal quality to Splendido. We were greeted by name, outside the restaurant, which was a nice touch and from the interactions with the other customers the level of service continues through all aspects of your dinner. Talking to the owner, his wife and children were there too as was his mother and father, both working in thier semi-retirement to help their son and keep active.
