busy place to get dinner

Booked table for 19:30 and we arrived 10-15min earlier, but no chance of sitting down before the designated time at all.  So we patiently waited and waited, finally was allowed into a busy busy restaurant with every table fully occupied.  The food must be good - and several items were no longer available on the menu.  We quickly grabbed what still on offer and when they turned up, the taste was good!  well worth the wait.  we had a delicious soup, followed by a special chicken - partially de-bon

Booked table for 19:30 and we arrived 10-15min earlier, but no chance of sitting down before the designated time at all.  So we patiently waited and waited, finally was allowed into a busy busy restaurant with every table fully occupied.  The food must be good - and several items were no longer available on the menu.  We quickly grabbed what still on offer and when they turned up, the taste was good!  well worth the wait.  we had a delicious soup, followed by a special chicken - partially de-boned, so that's good, but the legs seemed smaller than usual and not much breast meat either.  pot beef rib on the bone also good but pales in comparison to the other dishes. veggie dishes all pretty good and flavoursome.  a fired fish filet was delicious, just not enough to go around.  steamed whole red spot garoupa was superb - we ate every last morsel of it and added plenty of plain white rice to soak up the sauce.  however, this meant the cured meat rice was left over and we happily doggie-bagged it for later.  not cheap, but convenient for catching the express to the airport before the midnight flight to London. 
Other Info. : for maximum choice, show up at the 6pm sitting as locals tend to eat early and they pick the best dishes. i doubt anything good will be available at the 8:30pm sitting
