The outdoor patio was very nice, especially at sunset, but it can get hot with the sun shining on your table before it goes down completely. At this price point/the location/reputation, I guess it's not so much about the value you get with the food. The seafood was fresh & all the dishes were tasty. So, from that perspective, the restaurant delivered on the food. We were let down by the service. The good - our hotel mixed up the dates & the hostess was very professional and gracious in finding us a table. Not so good - it all went a bit downhill from there. The captain that did the seating grumbled while setting up our table & gave us a look like we were clueless tourists. After getting seated, one of the hosts (not a manager, mind you) made it a point to come by & subtly let us know he made us a favor even though he wasn't the one we worked with directly. When we were given the menu, the main wait person was a bit snooty and acted like we may not be able to afford some items on the menu. My friend, who was paying for the dinner, had a Crazy Rich Asian moment and ordered everything off the menu. Guess they got the hint. The manager came by to welcome us & they changed staff who were much more pleasant & easier to engage with. After the meal, the earlier experiences still left a bit of undesirable aftertaste & we decided to skip dessert. We went for gelatos in the mall instead :-) What a shame. We had such an amazing experience at Le Grand restaurant the previous night that we were hoping for a two out of two.

It is picturesque! The meal started with warm bread, which was delicious. And they served us artichoke as an appetizer for free. Then we ordered the vegetarian rigatoni, filet mignon, veal milanese and veal osso bucco. The rigatoni was good, but extremely greasy. The gnocci that came with the osso bucco was also extremely buttery and lacking any flavor. The osso bucco itself was deliciously seasoned and prepared. The Veal milanese was simple, and good if you like veal milanese which is traditionally not very flavorful. The filet mignon was good. Very simple and well cooked. Overall, the food was OK, probably not worth the price, but the atmosphere and service was excellent.

The dishes that were highly recommended made both my friend and I terribly sick. We ordered the "pasta" with lobster and the tuna belly. The pasta is more like baked beans and lentils that were marinated in ocean water for about 3 days and then served to unsuspecting diners under the pretense of fine dining. The tuna belly tasted old and fishy. Pretty sure I will have food poisoning after this because the whole dinner I felt queasy. Best of luck if you choose to dine here and do not heed my warning.

There's a cute shop when you arrive, selling wine and different local foodstuffs. We chose Frades to see what the big deal was with their rating .. we shared the mixed board, burrata, and pasta with the red shrimp. Everything was nice, but no desire to repeat. Additionally, service was most disappointing .. the most brusque and inattentive yet during our trip.
