Sucesso Dos Grelhados - Gondomar

Beautiful restaurant with perfect view. Delicious meals, professional stuff.

Super popular restaurant (multiple baptism communion events happening on the weekend) but I believe this is mostly down to the view. We arrived at lunchtime on the weekend and despite how busy the restaurant was and our group size (8 plus baby) we were seated quickly. That's when it started going downhill. I ordered a salmon with my MIL and other people in our group ordered meat dishes to share. While the traditional bread olive starters etc were on the table very quickly the cod croquettes were dry and you could tell had been out for a while waiting to be served. We had over an hours wait for our mains due to the wait for the salmon to be cooked. I believe it was cooked from frozen as salmon only takes 15 mins to cook. On top of that people that arrived long after us were served before us. When it finally arrived you could tell it wasn't fresh and it definitely wasn't cooked on a barbecue grill. There was no smell of a traditional outdoor grill or a taste of a meal cooked on charcoal. The salmon was tough and bland. The toilets were poorly maintained and there was no baby change facilities. The dessert offering was poor and given the mains I would guess not freshly made in house. They obviously had the traditional mousse and cheesecake offerings which didn't look appetising. Overall a hyped up restaurant only popular because of its spectacular views. And probably one or two meat dishes that make it worth going. If anyone knows what they are good luck going and getting good table service.

Sigh, I dislike writing ill of places but this was not great. My parents and I shared a plate of grilled steak which was to serve 3 of us but it was enough for maybe 1.5 of us. They also didn't ask how we wanted the meat, so while my father and I can eat it rare, my mother can't stomach that. She liked the meat jeu, so that's ok. My wife had the salmon and it was cooked well. No special sauce or anything, just a plain old salmon. It wasn't super expensive and in a month I will have forgotten it completely. And there is a chance that we just picked the wrong thing so take a chance and let me know if I did.
