Exquisite grilled fish, XL clams, and quality meats. Fresh, local, homemade. Good wine. Some small portions and aged meat concerns.
Location
Rias Baixas area, somewhat isolated from O Grove bustle. Near beach, charming spot within a family home.
Service
Attentive, polite family service. Contrasting reports of extreme rudeness, poor communication, impolite staff.
Value for Money
Superb value for some. Others: exorbitant pricing, small portions, unlisted VAT, missing menu prices. High cost per person.
Vibe
Quiet, intimate, charming family atmosphere. Away from hustle, few tables, some diners report solitude.
