Tourist trap - €8 for 1 liter of tap water. Tried to charge our party of 5 (of which 4 people dined) a service change for 6 people. Beer so expensive it makes the airport look reasonable.
In short, abysmal. DO NOT DINE HERE, go ANYWHERE else such as Da Costas (4 min down the road).

Dined here with my family of 5, upon being seated (center of the restaurant) we asked if we could instead move to one of the tables by the window overlooking the square, we were told no, as those were tables for 7 or 8 (spoiler, for the duration of our meal, those tables remained empty). Upon being seated, waiter asked if we wanted water for the table, we said yes, and that tap water would be fine.
Skipping past the mediocre food at London prices and straight to the bill.
We were very surprised to see that a service charge of €3.50 x6 was added to our bill (along with €8 for tap water).
Our waiter advised us that the service charge was for things like free bread, etc. To which we immedialty responded "We did not get any free bread", after which they defaulted to some dribble about "silverware" etc (nonsense). We did not recieve anything "complimentary" which would justify such a charge, ontop of the already overpriced menu. After about 2 min of arguing the waiter admitted the Service charge was incorrect but said the reason the water was €8 for tap water was because it was filtered tap water (You cant make this stuff up).
Very deceitful restaurant.
Save your sanity. Go ANYWHERE else for either the same quality food for half the price or the same price for a better experience.
Da costas was half the price, double the quality and tripple the service. Da Costas all the way!
