fresh tuna seafood special harbor view faulty internet unresolved issue reception incompetence

The restaurant meals were VERY nice. I sat outside overlooking the harbor and enjoyed them. I had Azores Tuna (it was a seafood special). The tuna tasted fresh and flavorful (though it was cooked a little more than I prefer).

The internet was not working . Staff could NOT fix it. A person from reception asked me to redo steps I already did (very frustrating).
