Ao passear pela Maia, quis experimentar este restaurante e não saí desiludido, o atendimento muito simpático, mesmo ao fim de semana, e ao fim do horário de almoço, sempre atento, e sempre não mesa na hora que queríamos que alguém viesse sem chamar, muito atenciosos, a comida espetacular, o bacalhau à Braga, no ponto, quero deixar aqui que vim no dia 9 de agosto 2025 ao almoço, e fui muito bem atendido, pela senhora/menina que atendeu, o ambiente muito simpático, restaurante cheio, e comida espetacular!!!
