Hi Maurice ! br /> br /> I hope you don't take this too personally, but I can tell from your comment you've never worked in restauration or hotellerie before. If the restaurants closing hour is 10 pm, and people are still eating after that hour, that means that the STAFF will only be leaving after 1 am. That's right ! After you leave a restaurant, the staff spends about 2 to 3 hours cleaning and getting things ready for the next day. Thats means, if the customers have the lack of sense to linger after closing hours, there will be around 10 people who get home a couple of hours late, hours for which they are not paid. And they still have to be at the restaurant at 10 am the following day. br /> br /> Restauration is a very hard area to work on. I suggest the next time you go to a restaurant, you find out about their schedules before hand, and actually respect them, without forcing an exhausted waiter to play "the bad guy" that has to inform other people that schedules are to be respected, and that you should take other people into consideration. br /> br /> Like you, I also enjoy this restaurant very much. I hope you had a nice time here in Porto.
