Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent fish and seafood in a great location: right on top of Camilo beach. Reservation a must even out of season. The grilled fish was excellent and they helped us to filet it, veggies and salads were very good and the service attentive.

Terrible service. Rude stuff. We have to wait under the rain for 40 minutes but I saw that half of the tables were free. And I was with small kid. She was frozen and they made us to wait all this time

Unlike others we didn’t get the attitude treatment but could see how it could happen in really busy periods. If you can BOOK then do but they do give you a wait time if you don’t. We only waited 5 and they kept their word....We sat in the area over looking the coast which was stunning. Service was efficient and the food all fresh, the fish was some of the best we have had. Surprisingly it was reasonably priced given the location and quality. We have given 4 stars because we think they could step up their friendliness then it would be unbeatable.More

If you love fresh fish this place is excellent. Hubby had the sardines which came with good boiled potatoes and salad. I had a large mixed salad at a very reasonable price. The sardines were great. The view is beautiful. It is right above the...beach!! Prices are reasonable by US standards!!Make a reservation!More

Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful setting. The only disappointment is limited filleted fish options. I asked for one but it still had bones. It didn't spoil our evening though

Food was very good staff was rude and the woman at the front calling out the names for the tables was exceptionally rude. Unfortunate for such nice place with such a nice location.

After we spent the morning walking along the boardwalks west of Lagos, and before we walked down the steps to the beach, we had a refreshing repast at this conveniently located restaurant. It was mostly filled, so we were lucky to get a table. My...wife had a shrimp salad and I had a mixed salad that I supplemented with cured cheese (from the appetizer menu), all for 28 euros. There was an extensive menu of fish and seafood, and lots of drinks, but we weren’t in the mood for a heavy lunch before a swim!More

This is one that you need to book. We managed to get a lunchtime inside table booking but failed for evenings, they were booked up beyond our holiday. The setting is lovely with a stunning view. The food was good and we chanced choosing from...the fresh fish priced by weight on the iced display and found it similar priced to that on the menu when we got the bill. Our waiter helpfully talked us thro the choices and how each would be prepared. We had three courses and we’re there a long time but we’re never rushed. A lovely lazy lunch overlooking the sea.More

I queued to ask for a big bottle of water. This lady who seemed to be the manager for the day came out and had terrible customer service towards me. I requested to buy a bottle of water and she did not bother to entertain...this question. I repeated my question again and was asked what the rush was. I told her I am awaiting a taxi soon and would like to know if I can buy a bottle of water. She finally responded and said she will get a boy to check, and when I asked how long would that take? She responded in a terrible manner saying she does not know and if I want to wait I just wait and ignored me. The attitude was very unpleasing and unsettling, shame. I expect higher standards of customer service for a place like this, beautiful restaurant really at a lovely place. If your management is reading this, please get back to me on how you train your staff on customer service and also the name of this lady manager on duty. The date is 27th May 2023, time on duty when this happened 19:35pm. I was just left in shock thinking is this how you treat a customer who happen to stop by to ask to purchase a bottle of water, it's just the overall feel received was bad.More

That’s a shame. It’s worth trying again if you can. It is also worth calling before to make a reservation. Their Website says they are closed Mondays.

Hi. Their Website says they are closed 25th December and 1st January, so are open New Years Eve. It would be an amazing place to see the New Year in.
