    No booking from the Fork available and the crazy Nachos were not eatable ( hard and not tasty at all and just a bit sprinkled with the "crazy" sauces

    We thorough enjoyed the food and the whole experience. It was out of season and very quiet so we ate in the bar area rather than the main restaurant. For those that love watching sport, there were different sports on all 5 (or 6) screens in the bar.

    Very nice venue, food was spot on, sports on 8 screens easy to view, service was superb. Only downside was the bar stools seating. Ok if you're just having drinks, but not so great when eating. 5 stars.

    5.0

    It was a bizarre experience. I reserved as there was a special offer and we wanted to watch the Ryder Cup on the screens. When we arrived, not only were there no screens in the restaurant but there were no staff. We found a very polite lady who suggested the sports bar. The guy working there told us that he didn't serve food at 7pm so only the restaurant. In any event the restaurant served our food in the sports bar. The service and food were very good; but a strange experience. If they keep this up, they won't be open for much longer

    The food was relatively simple: the starters were basically main courses, leaning a bit Italian with some burgers added in. The value for money was decent, and the dishes were average to okay. The service was super nice, really attentive, and charmingly friendly. Inside, the décor is very modern and stylish—I really liked it. Outside, it couldn’t quite keep up; it didn’t feel like a standalone restaurant but more like a tennis club restaurant from the outside. It’s a place I’d visit again because of the staff, but not necessarily for the food.

    Dear Mrs. Jan, Thank you for your kind review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your experience. We also appreciate you for telling us where we can improve. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind regards, Vale do Lobo Team

    6.5

    we booked for 7.30 and we're the only people in the very large restaurant. Consequently there was no atmosphere. the service was good. the menu had pizza, burgers, salads.we booked via the fork due to the high rating but couldn't find details of the menu before we went. my husband ordered the burger and said it was great. I had Salmon poke which I'd never heard of. I was surprised when a bowl of salad with chunks of raw salmon arrived. the waitress was ok when I asked if they could cook the salmon for me. it was tasty. its not somewhere I'd go back to just because of the atmosphere and limited menu.

    Smash by Vale do Lobo

    Dear Mrs Anne, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that your husband enjoyed the burger and that our team could adapt the salmon dish to your preference. A poke bowl is traditionally served as a fresh salad-style dish with raw marinated fish, which may be new to some guests, so we appreciate the chance to clarify. We understand your comments regarding atmosphere and menu variety and will take them into consideration. We hope to welcome you again in the future under livelier circumstances. Kind regards, Vale do Lobo Team

    Good food, reasonably priced. Staff very attentive- they let us know there would be a delay in food order before we ordered, as they were short staffed that night but we were happy to wait as pleasant surroundings and in no rush.
