What a shame. We had heard great things about this restaurant and was very excited when our hotel said they had booked us a table. First impressions were very favourable. We had a nice table, the initial service was friendly and responsive, we ordered our...food, the wine was delivered and then it sadly went down hill. Unfortunately, when I am in a restaurant of this standard and I have to keep topping up my own wine glass when staff walking by can clearly see our glasses our empty is not good. It is trying to be 'high end' which it attains with its food and setting, but it is letting itself down with its service. Our dinner took so long, 3 hrs from arriving to finally finishing our main course that we gave up on dessert or coffee. Maybe it was just a bad night for the staff, maybe there were stretched. I understand but sadly with so many restaurants in Funchal, would not go back or feel comfortable recommendingMore
