Beach Club Faro

This was our first time at this restaurant. We had been looking across the bay thinking of going and finally we did. It took 30 minutes to walk from our apartment across the bay. Quite a trek. The view from the restaurant is magnificent and we watched the sun go down. Our service was exceptional because it was friendly, humorous, and attentive. Our food was hot, tasty, and fresh. My minor criticisms, and the reason I nearly gave 4 stars were these; - The tempura vegetables starter was huge, could have been half as much, was bland, and would have benefited from a sauce. - The sirloin steak we ordered was requested as a medium but was rare. Though, tasty. - The Canaria tapas was huge. Maybe this could have been advertised as for two people. - As we dined a female sat near us on her own in a tracksuit and slippers, and also wandered around the restaurant. If this is the owner/maitre’d, then to be in the same uniform would be less conspicuous and adding a more positive element to the dining experience. It felt odd. - As we left, we went to the bathrooms and they were like public toilets and let down the experience. Plus, the kitchen and storage was on show. A simple screen would have helped to hide this away.

It was closed and not anywhere close to closing time. Looked like building work
