I had the salmon with potatoes and vegetables, delicious..I recommend this place for it's food, service and atmosphere, there is a balcony where you have a beautiful view of the sea and of the mountains, a pleasure to eat here..

Parking: There is a car park close by called Almirante Reis car park, lots of space to park your car.

We ate very good paella and the triology story for dessert. We drank Rose sangria. Everything divine. Very friendly and attentive staff. Fantastic space with sea views. Thanks :)

Meals on a terrace with a view. We ate well, hearty dishes and fast service.

The food is ordinary. The service is even more so. On the other hand, the view is magnificent!

Really bad food. Too cooked tuna steak - should be really rare almost raw. Boiled vegetables from frost ? and polenta??? One of the other dishes was served with completely white and tasteless potatoes.
The wine was good ?
Not going to that place again.

DONT FALL FOR THEIR SCAM.We wanted to eat at galeria, a “nice” lady said oh we dont have table outside but we have a terrace with panoramic view(not that wonderful). And we accepted but turns out she sent us to a different restaurant called Story Centre without letting us know it was a different one. (I asked the waiter at the end he said they are two different ones but with the same owner) prices were almost the same (with minor changed to some products) but the quality was horrible. Starting off with the octopus salad, 11.9€ for such a small portion of octopus and a lot of green salad leafs and vegatables… our main course took almost an hour to be brought to us, which was brought shortly after we asked. sirloin stake was HORRIBLE, way overcooked. The shrimp risotto was okay, not the best but passable.Overall the quality sucked. And i cant justify having the same prices for both restaurants when there is such difference in quality, service and experience.Horrible experience and ruined my night. But its my fault for not realizing from the beginning that it was a different restaurant.

Disappointed! After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and even being advised by the hotel staff, I was expecting a great discovery.We are still on an island and it is entirely conceivable to expect to eat well-cooked fish.However, the octopus salad starter was only a big difficulty in chewing the rubber octopus... which I told the waitress when she came to ask me if it was good, then what only the salad had disappeared from my plate...And as I had taken the plate of fish and shellfish with vegetables, I hoped to make up for it... unfortunately not at all because the three pieces of fish were overcooked! Only the squid and scampi were good.I mentioned it to the waiter who asked me what was wrong...I explained it to him and he replied that he would report it to the chef. Just like his colleague a few minutes earlier.Obviously given these dissatisfactions, I didn't take the risk of a dessert.I finally ate vegetables from the dish and the salad for an amount of 34 euros (I deduct the small bottle of wine for which I was kindly recommended by a young waitress).Conclusion: a little too expensive for vegetables.The chef could have made a move not to include at least the octopus salad...nope...business is business.The service was okay.It's the cooking that lacks dexterity.Perhaps the majority of people prefer well-cooked fish, but at least let us choose our cooking as we do meat.I can't find the excuse that the restaurant was full...since for more than an hour I was their only customer!

Bad coffee, bad staff. If you don't want to eat anything, the tablecloth is taken away...The restaurant advertises a beautiful view, but unfortunately it does not offer this.

I checked with the friendly waitress that the vegetable soup was vegetarian as many chefs put bits of chicken or chicken stock in their soups. It was checked with the chef and stated "vegetarian". It tasted very nice of herbs and mild spices although I kept getting tiny 'chewy' pieces that were reddish brown. I'm sure it was meat that had been blitzed into the soup. I told the waiter that I didn't want anymore of it as I thought there was meat in it. I've been a vegetarian for over 50 years , so heyho I think I know the strange fatty texture that can't be anything else.After about 5-10 mins the waitress came back with a handwritten (in English) of all the vegetables in the soup.Colour wise the only thing close would have been carrots, and the chewy bits were definitely not carrot.If you're vegetarian or vegan I advise you to stick with salad .And ignore the sales pitch on the bread - €3.50!I still paid although someone told me later that I should have asked for the complaints book as apparently (?) restaurants have to have one.

Vegetarian options: Cheese saladI advise not to have the 'vegetarian' soup

We came encouraged by very nice woman (5 stars for her). Nice terrace with a city view. Fish wasn't bad (but needed more spices), but the mix of tastes (fruits and garlic dressing) was strange. We ate better limpets in another place, but the portion was very big.

We ate there for the first time yesterday. Fillet pies and fries and salad. We also had delicious sauce with it. Everything perfect from the first bite to the last. Prices: 45.00 with drinks for 2 peopleIt couldn't be more perfect. The view was also very nice. There wasn't much to see in the evening, but this was the best restaurant we've had in the last few days.
