O melhor atendimento, o Eudes é uma pessoa extremamente acolhedora, atendimento nota 1000. O camarão empanado é o melhor da região. Super indico.

Achei que o atendimento pode melhorar no dia que fui no dia 01/01/2025 aparentemente só tinha dois garços pra atender várias mesas ao mesmo tempo, então pra pedir algo eu tinha que levantar e ir pedir no balcão, que já estava lotado, uns para fazer pedido e outros para pagarem uma conta, ou seja uma zona total, mas quando finalmente fui atendido, recebi uma comida muito boa, apenas o caldo de camarão estava muito salgado, de resto eu ainda recomendo, a praia superar todo o mal estar.
