restarant.with.a.view

 your first dinner in algarve.  you wanted to try sardines so you suggest to go to this restaurant just at the next beach.  you arrived in the evening when the sun is almost set.
 to your disappointment there's no sardine, perhaps it's really not the season of sardine (which normally starts in may to october), and while there's a chalkboard with the price of the seafood (honest in one way) but the seafood is overpriced.
 you could have walk away, but you're too hungry to locate another restaurant, so you opt for one jumbo prawn and he opt for piri-piri chicken
 while the grilled jumbo shrimp taste great, it's just pricey
 and the piri-priri chicken portion is too teeny.
the outlook from the restaurant is awesome, you hear the sea wave sweeping to the coast, the sound of wave knocking the rock.  it's atlantic ocean and it's enchanting. but in reality, you're probably paying for this view and the lesson learned is to dine at local places and not at the beach or by the seaside.
