A little disappointed as other reviews were excellent. Little things like paper napkins. OK, no big deal. But the place is definitely not cheap. No complaints about the food - but no overwhelming praise either. Finally note that the restaurant is NOT Restaurante Estrela do Mar.

I like the athmosphere of Estrela do Mar and the food quality. Usually on weekends you will find some live-music and the viewm with the sea in front is obviously amazing. Prices and variety could be better though
