    Always a very pleasant experience and will continue to introduce friends and family to your Portuguese food and wine. Love the decor and background nusic. Feels like we're back in Portugal every time. Long may you be there for us to enjoy.

    Thank you for your review. A 3.5 overall rating is rather mediocre. Did you perhaps have a mediocre experience? What can we do to improve?

    I'm always rather conservative as opposed to my wife and our family and friends who loved the Baia Grande experience. Maybe the service can be improved by waiters more aware of customers. We had to pour our own wine, for example. It's something small, but still. And thinner wine glasses instead of those thick-lipped ones would be appreciated. We will be back!

    Excellent meal and great service. Slightly pricier but well worth it. A real treat.

    My wife and a colleague had a very good meal excperiance, they really enjoyed the food. Myself and my colleagues wife both had the same dish. The meal was not a bad meal but I returned mine as my meat was very over cook as I requested medium rare, hers was also overdone but she was ok to eat. They have an excellent menu selection and I would recommend it as a very good restaurant and would return.

    We were unfortunately disappointed, trinchado was BBQ spice&broth, could not taste any wine in it.My seafood platter very bland, but because cid&prawns have taste of their own I still enjoyed it, the tubes were awful water squurted out of some that were not grilled, the mussels were just tomato&onion salsa, they were tiny&as if just for decoration, The mushroom steak was good.The flamed chouricio we enjoyed. The food was fresh&well presented but no garlic, no wine, no lemon/garlic on platter tomatoes too much, not really Portuguese grilled platter. The venue is lovely&friendly service but our waitress was not with it and took long.Not what we expected,as in food, trinchado recipe etc

    Great service with a wonderful atmosphere. Attentive staff. We did not wait long for our food. It was served hot. Unfortunately the mussel dish was too much tomatoe based for my taste. Same with the Paella dish. It was tasty though. The fish platter was great.
