We came to the restaurant based on the great reviews and were very underwhelmed. Service is slow, food has no flavor and is served cold and plates were not removed in a timely matter. The staff at the reception (where you pay for your bill) was utterly unfriendly and unwelcoming. Would not recommend, rather drive 10 min further to the Legend Clubhouse and eat there.

Had a delicious meal. My husband had the pork and I opted for a vegetarian option with roasted onions which was very tasty.

Thinking about what could have been... After looking at the interesting and fun menu online, we were excited about the potential of this restaurant.Unfortunately, the slow service killed our excitement and left us wishing we had gone somewhere else.The first red flag was upon entering it took almost five minutes for anyone to greet us, and then they just told us to sit wherever was not welcoming. Then in this remote location they have only a QR code menu which didn't load fast on our phone and then the waitress was short with us when we didn't know everything we wanted after less then a minute of looking at the menu. Especially when the play on Word menu items takes a minute to fully understand.Then we did finally order the waitress, which was particularly unfriendly about the fact that two of us were going to share three appetizers and one main dish. (She also seemed to have an issue with the fact that we wanted a side order of fries) overall Her attitude really rubbed us the wrong way.Then our wine order was delivered incorrectly and sarted pouring it before even asking if it was the right thing. Next, bread and cheese shows up at our table, which would have been nice had we ordered it or it was complimentary, but it was not.Next, it took almost 30 minutes for our dishes to arrive. The food was good and interesting but the portion or fish was very small.The cherry on top was we ordered the fondue as a birthday dessert for my girlfriend. After we waited for literally 30 minutes, we still hadn't gotten the dessert and asked for the check. The question for the check was ignored until the dessert arrived on our table several minutes after this. Also, the fondue was like an espresso sized cup of chocolate suace and really basic fruits.After all, it seemed they just had an off night here, but at this restaurants price point and remote location, this is almost unacceptable!Unfortunately a birthday was ruined...The only redeeming part of this meal was the manager whom we paid with did not charge us for the dessert or glasses of wine.

For starters we ordered the black pudding balls which, although good, are a bit expensive considering their size. As a main course we ordered the beetroot risotto which was very tasty and served in fair quantities. To finish, we tried the mousse, which was also very good. Wine by the glass has good options, but the cost is slightly high. The service is very friendly and fast. I recommend!

Very relaxed and beautiful place, with bohemian touches. Quite expensive, but good quality. There is a dessert that I do not recommend: the fruits with chocolate. It is literally that, fruits and chocolate; however the mousse was very good.There was a man singing who contributed a lot to the environment.

Excellent ambience and an interesting concept. Sadly one of our orders was a duck confit that arrived really undercooked and was sent back to come back only ever so slightly more done. The other dishes did not outlive our expectations. There was a superb live musician that made the whole night a great experience, plus the location is very pleasant.

The food is overpriced for the quality but the ambience makes up for it as it is a truly beautiful property and restaurant.

Title: An Unforgettable Experience Marred by a Disappointing ConclusionRating: 4 out of 5 starsI recently had the pleasure of dining at Maria Batata Restaurante, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The outstanding service, delectable cuisine, and delightful ambiance made for an unforgettable evening. However, there was an unfortunate incident towards the end that detracted from an otherwise flawless visit.From the moment we stepped into Maria Batata Restaurante, the staff provided attentive and accommodating service. Their professionalism and warm demeanor were evident throughout the evening, adding a personal touch to our dining experience. Their knowledge of the menu, along with their thoughtful recommendations, heightened our culinary journey.The food at Maria Batata Restaurante was nothing short of excellent. Each dish was expertly prepared, showcasing the culinary skills of the talented kitchen team. The flavors were vibrant, the presentation was artful, and the portion sizes were generous. It was evident that careful thought and attention to detail went into creating every dish.The ambiance of Maria Batata Restaurante was both elegant and inviting. The tasteful decor, combined with the cozy lighting, created a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. It was the perfect setting to unwind, engage in conversation, and savor the remarkable food being served.Unfortunately, the evening took an unexpected turn during the settling of the bill. As we prepared to leave, we were asked to proceed to the reception area where the assumed manager, at Maria Batata Restaurante, was engrossed in a phone conversation. Regrettably, she failed to acknowledge our presence, continuing her conversation for an extended period. After waiting for approximately ten minutes, I felt compelled to interrupt and express our desire to pay. Only then did she conclude her call and ask if we wished to file a complaint, offering us a complaints book.I want to emphasize that our intention was never to file a complaint or escalate the situation further. All we wanted was to settle the bill and leave. The lack of acknowledgment and the extended delay left us feeling somewhat disheartened after an otherwise outstanding dining experience at Maria Batata Restaurante.In light of this, I sincerely hope that the management of Maria Batata Restaurante takes this feedback constructively and addresses the issue promptly. The professionalism and exceptional service exhibited by the majority of the staff deserve recognition and preservation. We genuinely enjoyed our time at Maria Batata Restaurante and would gladly return in the future, provided this unfortunate incident does not repeat itself.Despite the incident at the end, I highly recommend Maria Batata Restaurante to those seeking an unforgettable dining experience. The combination of outstanding service, exquisite cuisine, and inviting ambiance make it a noteworthy destination. With some attention to ensuring seamless customer service from start to finish, Maria Batata Restaurante has the potential to further elevate its reputation.Please note that our intention in sharing this review is solely to provide honest feedback and encourage improvement, as we believe in the potential of Maria Batata Restaurante to continue delivering exceptional experiences to its patrons.Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to the possibility of revisiting Maria Batata Restaurante in the future.
