We feel guilty.
We arrived to our reservation towards the end of an event in the gourmet hall of the restaurant. We were asked to please wait as the event was finishing and the guests were slow to leave. As we were waiting, our reservation time came and went. While waiting we were served wine, cheese and cured ham, free of charge. We were also served a fried appetiser, again free of charge. 20 minutes past our reservation time, we were invited into the gourmet hall. The event was over, but it was obvious the hall was not cleaned up yet. There, in a corner, a table for two was arranged for us.

During this, the wait staff was polite and apologizing for the delay and the circumstances. It was really no problem for us, the appetisers we were served while waiting was lovely, and them being free of charge was a nice surprise.

The food was very well presented and balanced. We had the classical gourmet menu. It consisted of a spread of cheese with fig jam, charcuterie, butters (mushroom and lemon variant) and olive oil. It was followed by mushroom soup, which was rich in flavors and not too heavy. The cod was salty and accompanied by a Portuguese chickpea puree and avocado salad, a lovely combination. The meat had a nice crust, a delicious sauce and vegetables with an acidic tang to them. Finishing up was "the chef's creation". It was a chocolate mousse with vanilla ice cream and a popping suprise on top. Rich in flavors, not too heavy, and perfectly sweet.

When it was time for the bill, we actually felt guilty. We felt the meal and the experience was worth far more than we paid. The wait staff frequently checked up on us, the chef came out twice to speak with us, and the atmosphere, with only my partner and I in the whole hall, made the whole visit an experience we won't forget.

Obrigado.

Too expensive for the quality of the buffet. I booked a table and still had to wait and we didn't have access to all the dishes, as they were gone. It got a lot worse!
