Hiya. Well I've dropped in there a few times over the last 8 years or so, always as a result of bringing boats back from the Caribbean, so I recognise its the busiest time.
However, for the Azores, where the vast majority are friendly and helpful, there is a marked contrast in the Cafe. Maybe victims of their own success, but on these various visits, with differant people, we have found that the service is poor to say the least. Just to get a beer can take an age. I have heard people complaining of it taking over an hour to deliver a food order. That assumes you are patient enough to queue for a table! Also, food quality has been generally poor, and again for tha Azores, expensive.
So to sum up, the staff, food, prices and crowds are awful!!!!
Personally, I really like the marina bar, had many happy hours there meeting all the same people coming back from Peter Sport dissapointed. Each to his own..........
