    Here for a special dinner as part of our Douro cruise. Modern set up. Very loud. Efficient and…read moreprompt service although they never smile or seem happy to be here. Food was lovely. H'or doevres were not hot and very doughy. There were several but I was only offered one. Octopus carpaccio was the hit of the evening. Razor think with salsa verde and pomegranate seeds. The beef tenderloin was not hot and overcooked but tender. The exquisite dessert was too much for me so I just tasted the mango sorbet. Lots of wine pairings.

As the nights are starting to get cooler after the sunset (7:30), they had located many heating lamps and positioned cozy blankets on chairs just in case. It was quite pleasant. Food-wise you can order a tasting menu if several courses with optional wine pairings or do what we did and select from the ala-carte menu. We've learned with the big portion sizes here in Portugal to cut back a bit so we ordered two starters (burratta with tomatoes and the scarlet shrimp with rice). The burratta was a standout with creamy sweet cheese nestled in a tomato confit. The shrimp was interesting-it was almost like a mini lobster and the server removed the head at the table for me. We decided to share a main course-the veal tenderloin which was good but not nearly as tender as one might expect. In between there were little small bites from the chef and we ended with a luscious chocolate dessert. The white glove service was a swarm of activity instantly refilling glasses, clearing plates and changing silverware-it was a little much for me as our table was right at the crossroads of the activity. Wine list is huge as you'd expect with everything from wines by the glass for €10-17 to bottles in the hundreds and even thousands of euros. I saw one that was €6 thousand on the list. As is common in this kind of place, prices were steep and our dinner with 2 drinks, 2 glasses of wine, 2 starters, 1 main and 1 dessert was around €150. Bottom line a lovely place with great service and food and high

Use the salt and seasoned olive oil bowl on the table to sprinkle over both sides of your steak as you cook it to the temp you like on the hot stone they bring you. The meal included a delicious fresh salad with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and the most flavorful olive oil sprinkled over the salad- plus plenty of crispy, perfectly salted fries, a drink, and coffee or dessert. We upgraded from the 35 euro for 2 people to 40 euro because we were both starving and wanted more meat - 1 kilogram. We devoured that steak! We cooked it medium rare, but still needed to cook a couple of pieces a little longer, but our stone plate was no longer hot. The lady working the bar and waiting tables came right over and brought us a hot stone. She and the chef in the back were so friendly and helpful. Our total meal was 42 euro - probably because I added a big bottle of water to our drink orders of one coke and hot tea. I actually had two hot mint teas - called "infusion" because the tea was so flavorful. It was a little more expensive, but we'll worth it! We would definitely stop here again- even though we were both to full to finish the fries!
