Restaurante Bar O Pinhal

What a find. I ordered the gazpacho to begin and it was nothing like the gazpacho I'm used to. The steak was sublime.Beer was cold and crisp and the wine was delicious. Best of all was the atmosphere. Simply the best.

Poor service. While the lady who seated is was lovely, the male waiter was rude and slow. He dropped the dishes on the table like he was serving food in a jail, rough and unkind, and walked off without a word. He charged extra for items that he made us believe were included, like adding a small scoop of ice cream to a tart for an additional €1.70. He didn't bring us our drinks. When I went to get the bill be wouldn't make eye contact, didn't ask me why I was there and looked like he was doing other things, then he gave me the bill and didn't say anything. Just waited. So I paid. It was so weird. I felt like he didn't want me there. Other customers, including Portuguese customers, were also disappointed with this waiter. He ruined the experience.However, the food was good quality. But the roadside ambience was a bit rough with a building site across the road, the price of a family meal of 4 with no alcohol was €87 and the success was very slow and rude. So, all in all, a real disappointment.

Good price, quality food but service can be slow. Not much Bristish type of food options I.e. burgers

Very friendly, fast, good quantities, we were even offered if we wanted a little more...very family-friendly, we will return with pleasure.

The service was slow, the employee should have first cleared away the dirty dishes and then put away the dishes from the repeated orders. The chicken steaks with mushrooms had no flavor at all, I don't even know, it was chicken straight out of the freezer. It needs to be improved.
