I tried this place before with a friend and I am obsessed since then. I liked the great ambience and delicious dishes and drinks. Keep up the good work.

Very unorganised, arrived at 7.05 for booking at 7.15 and still got seated only at 7.20 then it took almost 25 mins for a waiter to take our order even though other people who were seated after us had already ordered but at least he was attentive. Place was busy so they should have had more staff instead of 1 girl who was hostess, table cleaner & order taker. Also, while we & other people kept waiting for service, waiters preffered cleaning tables & kept ignoring us. I've been to Preto Leatherhead which I think sadly closed recently & I would easily say to go there instead but no longer can. Food was decent but not the same quality as at Leatherhead. The feijoada was watery with barely any beans in it. Luckily feijoa was much better. I liked how you could choose your sides as at Leatherhead they just gave you whatever without asking you & if you happened to ask them to bring feijoa they would otherwise you wouldn't even know they were serving it. Pao de queiso was nice, but the banana fritters' taste was spoiled by too much oil & breadcrumbs. In regards to the meat selection I was sadly dissaponted. The beef on the day was very medium done (I don't like blood on my plate) but I guess they were in a rush & didn't taste fresh. No matter how much seasoning & marinate you put on beef if it's not fresh it will still leave a bad taste in your mouth. Luckily the gammon was as good as ever & helped to remove the beef taste from my mouth. For desserts we had brigadeiro (delicious as ever) & a flan which was very good. Unfortunately desserts took forever & when we asked the waiter when they would come he thought we were joking it hasn't arrived yet. That's how long it took. He was sorry & luckily we were patient & desserts were yummy. Finally when asking for the bill we had to ask to amend it as they didn't include the 50% discount. Normally I'd pay and support the business in such times but it just wasn't worth ir. I won't return to Kingston & try my luck at other Pretos.
This place is my favorite. I go to many restaurants but to this place I constantly return again and again. The stuff is very warm and the cooking they cook is so appetizing. I never miss an opportunity to have a nice meal here. I highly recommend this place.
I celebrated my birthday today in this fine place. happy to tell that we enjoyed a phenomenal evening and the place was unquestionably one of the reasons for that strong evening. The waiters cooperated in a splendid way, the meals were extremely good and my buddies were very glad. We shall absolutely visit again for more events. Thank you very much.
Excellent service and experience. Yummy food and drinks. Lovely atmosphere. Will become my regular spot I love meat on skewers to be craved on the table. Yummy yum.
