Sem-Fim — Restaurant in Reguengos de Monsaraz

The food was good and tasty but unfortunately my service's expirience was horrible. After finishing the warm dishes, we had to wait for almost 50min. to get the deserts. All of this after several attempts to request the deserts. The waiters were pointing the responsibility for the table to the next one in a round. I end up being very disappointed with them especially because I was there with my 2 kids (6 and 8 years old respectively), and this situation not only stressed us directly as it led my youngster to get injured - after waiting so long he was trying to climb a stage next to our table as distraction and ended up bleeding.
