Urban Grill

Nice and efficient waiting staff, good ambience except for the music: we were there for just over an hour and must have heard the same songs (by Lionel Richie, Foreigner, Kenny Rogers, Chicago, Elton John...) two or three times each. Please get a playlist with more than 10 songs! The food? Portions were generous, but the execution was average to mediocre at best. I had the mixed grill, most of the meat was overcooked and poorly seasoned, and the chicken breast was bone dry, so dry you can hardly swallow it without drinking after each bite. The only gluten free dessert they offer is a mango mousse, more like a "mango miss" if you ask me: the texture was like jello, nothing close to a mousse. We were here a year ago and had such an wonderful dinner, a year later the food was so disappointing and the repetitive music so annoying... Sadly, a big downer.

This place was fantastic. The servers were amazing, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable and helpful towards my gluten allergy (full on celiac). The atmosphere was pleasing and the food was beyond delicious. It was walkable from our stay and when we come back to Portimão, we plan on stopping here again to try some different options. Highly recommend and thank you to all the staff for a great meal!
