My wife and I happened across this attractive restaurant last evening when looking for somewhere to eat. We ordered a drink and sat outside with the menus and decided to stay to eat - before which they provided an appetiser bowl of deep fried squid...with balsamic and lemon- very nice.
We sat down and the waiter came over and ran through the specials of the day that included a range of fresh fish - sold by weight not per portion. No information was given on prices and we were daft enough not to ask - feeling comfortable. The waiter then returned with a large Snapper on a platter and said this was excellent and the chef could prepare it with potatoes and olives. We said we’d have it and it duly arrived and was very nice. It was immediately apparent however that there was more than enough fish for at least four people and we had to leave over half of it. When the bill came it was €130 for the fish for two!!! What annoys me about this and why I say beware, is that it must have been blindingly obvious to waiter (who was seen to grin at his mate when we agreed to have the fish) that it was far to much for two people and so the fair and honest thing to have done would have been to point this out and confirm the cost so we could make an informed choice - or more sensibly offer us an alternative . The fact they chose not to do these things convinces me they were happy to rip us off. Crying shame they had to take advantage like that, because otherwise they would have got a much higher rating. Golden rule - agree the cost of fish sold by weight before you commit to it.More
