  • No geral estava bom , Mas ficámos pouco satisfeitos em relação á clareza do atendimento , Antes de efetuar pedido , fizemos perguntas em relação aos ingredientes ( se os cogumelos do arroz de cogumelos eram frescos ou de lata ) ao que nos disseram que eram frescos , algo que constatamos não ser verdade , perguntamos também (se um dos pratos que queríamos tinha ervilhas) A resposta foi que não , Mas quando chegaram os pratos , ambos tinham ervilhas , não estando isso especificado no menu , e tendo sido negado quando questionado , Tivemos de aguardar mais 10 minutos por um prato diferente sem ervilhas , que acabou por se mostrar saboroso , mas quase sem ingredientes , que acabou por deixar a refeição a dois pouco fluida
