Maika’i the good food place — Restaurant in Mafra

I’m rarely drawn to leave a bad review, unless it’s outstanding. We sat down with my husband and our 2-year old. After 10 mins no one paying attention to us we went to ask for the menu or get some attention, there was only one other table inside, the staff didn’t seem busy. We got the menus as we asked, there was no kids options on the menu, though it looked promising and I looked up pictures on google, the food looked great, the reviews were good, we also were drawn by the craft beer made on sight. Half of kraft beer menu wasn’t available , we were offered a smaller burger option for kids. My husband ordered a full burger and I got tom yum, particularly because I saw it on the previous pictures on google and it looked good. nachos dips and couvert came fast, but it can’t take long really. The food took really long. Our baby was hungry, but kid burger for a baby came all raw! We sent it back. My husband’s burger was absolutely raw, he didn’t send it back only because he was too hungry he said. He wasn’t asked before how he wanted it, but definitely it shouldn’t be raw meat by default. My Tom yum was just dissapointment. Soggy bok choy, looks like been reheated many times since cooked few days ago. With overcooked noodles and over salted broth, way too much. In the end 1hr later baby’s well cooked burger arrived, by that time she was already desperate for food and starting tantrums as babies do when they have to wait longer than parents for food and there was nothing meanwhile for them to snack. We were very surprised as the new 58 shop looks amazing and it’s such a good idea to have it all together and you can see there are lots of surf/skate families hanging out so they should be used to families with kids. My review applies to the kitchen at first place, the service was a bit better but lacking attention and communication with...

Disappointed in the service, especially since this place was recommended by a friend. I sat and asked for the craft beer menu. The lady said she didnt have one (even though on the menu it literally says to ask for it) and she gave me 3 or 4 options. Okay that was fine, i ordered a drink. Then i asked to order food and she said the kitchen wasnt opening until 12 (it was exactly 11:45). So i said thats fine ill wait. Then 3 minutes later she proceeded to bring 2 different people orders of food... so that was weird. I waited until after 12. She never came back to ask of i wanted food so i paid for the...

Sendo, um restaurante numa zona de surfistas,junto ao mar, tal como Havaí, fiquei decepcinado com a decoração...demasiado simples e muito austero,qd na verdade até possuem mesmo ao lado uma das maiores lojas de produtos e acessórios para surf e skate, e não era preciso muito. Maika'i significa bom/bem em havaiano e deixou-me algo confuso...antes tenho que referir que estes comentários são num contexto de festa de um aniversário com cerca de 50 pessoas e aqui notamos que o espaço é exíguo para tanta gente, basta ver que as cadeiras que estavam de costas umas para outras não passava ninguém,com agravante se alguém tivesse que levantar teria que meia sala levantar tb, ou seja não é aconselhável grandes grupos...a entrada foram uns nachos,demasiado partidos que tinhamos que utlizar os dedos para apanhar as migalhas acompanhado com feijão preto, o prato principal no meu caso foi bacalhau com natas e aqui tenho que dar os parabéns ao cozinheiro, porque o sabor estava lá...não mt cremoso,com muito sabor e crocante. Pena é que não pude repetir. A sobremesa no meu caso foi gelado de nata com azeite,areia de gengibre e flor de sal com amêndoas. 1⁰ estranha-se depois entranha-se, certo é que foi das sobremas que mais me supreendeu pela positiva. Resumindo, como disse, foi num contexto de festividade e nestes casos o mais importante é a festa e amizade e camaradagem,como tal, este menu, penso eu foi preparado para tal assim...a comida até não é má, o serviço não é mau mas falta qlq coisinha, o que leva que tenha lá que voltar mas a...
