The food, unfortunately, was not tasty. Shrimp, unpeeled, with guts. Squids are tough. The fish was not bad. The waiter was friendly. In the evening there was live music. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €15–20 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Better then the high end restaurants in the area !! Food was extremely delicious and large portions for generous prices. Large well ventilated restaurant area and very clean. Very impressed with the customer service, Erica was our waitress and she was awesome. Knowledgeable and caring and helpful in understanding the menu and the choices available. Wonderful desserts available as well, not only reginal options but international too.

Had the pork for a main and the bean cake for dessert. Very tasty food and good value. The service was also excellent Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The breaded chicken was excellent. The waitress was very nice and helping. The only problem was that we had a hard time understanding each other in English, so my wife got something else than she asked for very clearly. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I ordered battered cod (also showed a picture to the waiter, to make sure they understand what I mean!) and I received instead a (I am not quite sure) fried or boiled piece of cod, full of bones, with a side of: reheated boiled potatoes, steamed vegetables, pickled peppers, 2 boiled eggs, canned chickpeas and fresh onion slices!!! Unless you are dying of hunger, AVOID this place! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €15–20 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Great familial restaurant with local specialities and low price!
A delicious meal. We had the pork tenderloin and another couple had the buffet. Both were excellent

We waited too long for the main courses; two ladies who arrived after us were served before us what seemed to be similar main courses; one of the main courses was not the one we asked; we were served by or had to ask the attention of three different waiters as it seemed there was not one specific waiter for our table; the food was good but below the average when compared to restaurants at the same price level. As the room is big I would say finding a table is likely not to be a problem. The dessert was excellent.

Great value! As of May 2017: meal of the day for 7.50euros; fish {fillets, or full sardines if feeling more adventurous!}, bread, cheese, and carafe of wine! Other than that, large wine and fish selection. Cozy and traditional. Generous portions. Even the boiled potatoes were delicious! (Or maybe that was the carafe of wine speaking). Either way, loved this place. Locals by the car load.
