This place looks super cool, but I would recommend trying another place in the general area. I'm…read morenot sure if it was because the holiday (New Years) had just passed, but the meal started with a list of what was NOT available which was more than a quarter of the menu -- which also included no white wine by the glass and no beer. The white sangria pitcher was almost too bitter to drink. The croquettes were a tasty starter -- but the cheese wrapped in filo dough was a non-starter. The beet risotto was pleasant but not necessarily memorable. The Hot Cold dessert was a big disappointment. It has beautiful presentation, but we could not finish even the small dessert. Our service was less than ideal. The restaurant was not full, yet you could see their intense stress levels. With the high quality of dinners we'd had for similar and even lower price in the area, we really expected a lot more.

This was my favorite meal on our week-long trip to Sao Miguel. The food was impeccable. My husband…read morehad the seared tuna, and it was cooked perfectly rare. A quick dip in soy sauce, and it was exploding with flavor. It's the best seared tuna we've ever had. I got the octopus legs, which was the BEST octopus I've ever had. And this is coming from someone who immediately orders octopus as soon as she sees it on the menu. I had octopus four times in a week in the Azores, and this was the best. I don't know what they do to the octopus to make it so tender, but it melts in your mouth like butter, and the ends of the tentacles are crispy perfection. Even the side dishes are good here! My octopus came with perfectly cooked and savory potatoes and Brussels sprouts, as well as a small fresh salad. My husband's tuna came with a broccoli steak and the same perfect potatoes. I know I use perfect a lot in this review, but that's all I could say about this food. It was executed that well. My only complaint would be that there is a slight smell of something like bleach throughout the restaurant. You get used to it, but it was off-putting at first. Note that you will definitely need to make a reservation in order to get a table. If I recall, I was able to make one through Facebook a week in advance pretty easily. You can't miss a dinner here while I'm Ponta Delgada.

This octopus was one of the best I've had in Portugal very soft, and fresh. My dish was deliciously garnished and had savory broccoli which I loved as well. The dish overall was very impressive and I loved every bit of it. We also got the iconic dish here which takes 8 hours to cook it was the condo das furnas and I absolutely loved it. The meat was so soft and melty and the potatoes and cabbage were delicious highly recommend and if you want to feel a little bit of the culture here, absolutely golden. As for my family members one had an issue with the steak they asked for it to be cooked medium but it came back basically raw. Than we asked for them to cook it back again medium but they brought it back still looked raw maybe rare the second time back. Maybe it's different in America I don't know but probably not just be aware for the steak. Everything else was pretty good no complaints. I also had the strawberry gelato for dessert and it was very tasty I recommend. Overall a great place Service: Amazing kind, quick service they even recommended we only have 1 condo das furnas instead of our original pre order of 2. We silly Americans are big but aren't that big and 1 was plenty before our meals for 6 of us. Ambience: Really cozy cool place, I love the atmosphere, a lot of birthday wishes we clapped for, a good time.

The menu was an offering of solid local fare and the views, especially sunset, were great.  Sometimes a bad waiter can be a buzz kill and cause me to rate the food or total experience worse than i should. We ordered the cheese appetizer, thinking we were getting the soft cheese and not understanding there was a choice between soft and firm cheese.  The waiter didn't not ask us which one we wanted and brought the one we did not want but ate anyway - its cheese! We asked for the tuna to be medium rare and it came out well.  We had no chance to tell him because we could not flag him down.  The sides were standard but but overcooked.  The steak au pouvre was well cooked and tasty.   The manager seemed intent on running a tight ship and I let him know about the bad service and he took it seriously.  For that reason alone, I would suggest giving it another shot if you are in town

I ordered the sirloin steak with regional sauce and it came with just fries so I ordered a side of sautéed veggies so my body would get some vitamins. The steak had really no flavor in it.

It seems like no restaurants in Portugal serve veggies any other way than boiled which is really strange.
