text: Hum i am a bit torn on Ferreira Cafe It was a recommendation from the concierge at my hotel and fully packed to capacity when I arrived I was excited by the patronage and despite the crowd we were seated in minutes Our waitress was super attentive and our table faced the kitchen I steadily observed the kitchen staff dirty plates on the ground and snacking off the food One person on staff drank a beer latte and red bull while preparing meals I had the octopus salad black cod and a dozen oysters I was pleased with the octopus salad but disappointed in the black cod At and with such a flowery menu description I was ready to be wowed Unfortunately perhaps due to a distracted staff Ferriera just did not deliver on two basicssalt and pepper It was aesthetically pleasing but very bland One of my friends had a bone in his fillet and my other guest got the mixed seafood plate with both missing and more bland seafood nnBetween elements of bland and incomplete plates I was underwhelmed The service was great but I will never eat there again
