Esta noche he tenido el placer de tomar unos vinos y una tosta en este bar, y la experiencia ha sido maravillosa. El servicio y la atención son excelentes: los camareros son súper amables y simpáticos. Quiero destacar especialmente a António, que es encantador, y a José María, que también es muy atento y agradable. Recomiendo a todo el mundo que venga aquí a tomar algo y disfrutar del buen ambiente. Además, los domingos ponen langostinos, ¡así que es otra buena excusa para venir! Sin duda, un sitio al que pienso volver.
