Had lunch there today. Lunch menu similar to previous Island Cafe (pasta, salads) but overheard chef/owner explain to other customer that in process of changing it. We were first there but by time left another 3 couples had arrived. Got impression they had been before or had been at the chef's previous restaurant.
My wife said her pasta with seafood and fish sauce was very good. I had a chicken salad which was also good.

Went for dinner last night & the new menu has been introduced. The revised offer is aimed more at the "fine dining" market with pricing to match. The food & service was generally very good but it is very expensive. Dinner for 2 with a bottle of wine was over €100 including a tip! Best saved for special occasions at that price but then the Bella Vita does it better and offers more choice.

Went last night and must say the food and service makes this restaurant a must on the map for any forum foodies.

Although they do have a 21 € evening meal, you would be unlikely to get a budget night out, as Widge said on his post, a meal for two is more likely to be at least 100€ but you could spend a lot more. There is a chef's dinner for 46€ and an extensive wine list.

Last night the restaurant was full, particularly with a couple of large tables of clients who had been to the owner's previous restaurant in Alvor.

Definitely a place to go for a special meal.
