    Food is really tasty and well presented, but the prices are quite high compared to the amount of food (e.g. fish and seafood stew). Good local wine, very nice setting, beautiful decorated and above all the fish seems to be very fresh. If you are willing to spend above average money for nice food in a few courses, this place will please you. The dish in the picture is the seafood salad which was really nice. It might be a good idea to make a reservation if you want to visit this place.

    Wow. The food was so flavorful! We had the vegetable stew and lobster rice. I also had a glass of white wine from Txakoli. It was light and easy to drink. Dry enough :) The lobster was sweet and packed with flavor! The vegetable stew was absolutely delicious. It came on a plate and was more like a side dish than a liquid stew but delicious regardless :) The service was A+ as well! I highly recommend this place!

    The food was OK and the service was super friendly. We liked Huelva shrimps the most, as they were the most fresh. Probably ordering the fresh fish would have been the best option, we went for a seafood plater though.

    Restaurant on the second floor is not good. The only good thing was bread! It’s a business not a restaurant. Plus they put “reserved” plates outside when it was in fact free. There are no reservations in sight in fact it’s quite empty Very expensive too and they don’t include IVA in the menus so it’s way too overpriced, I would be ok with it of course if you could know before in the menu. Plus if the atmosphere and service was right. The glasses and cutlery was dirty. Attached you can see the bill for 3 people

    If the second floor is closed, do not eat at the first floor, there is a big contrast, comparing to the restaurant. It is not confortable. Try to understand well how the fish is prepared. Mine was not beautiful on the plate, but I was hungry and eat just the fish.

    Our experience was quite unpleasant. We stopped in for a dinner. We had no reservation but were given a table right away which was nice. After we were seated a waiter came to us and brought some bread and water. After that we were left with absolutely no attention . I wanted to flag several waiters to order a wine but was ignored. It continued for 15-20 minutes and It felt bizarre. We put 5 euros on the table for the bread and water and left. Horrible service for a restaurant that is so pricey. Spoiled evening

    Every dish is a surprise not only because of the good quality of seafood but also the accurate seasoning! The sauce in the “zamburinas a la plancha” was amazing(recommended by the waiter James. We ordered a bacalao to share and the chef separated the fish into two plates with beautiful plantings, which is obvious that the boss and waiters cares for every client. Unforgettable experience, love it!

    Great experience at the bar - Pedro the bartender led us in the right direction with not only a good wine selection but with the whole fish cooked to perfection - this was probably the best whole fish I've ever had! Tender and flaky, served with a side of potatoes and asparagus that rounded out the dish. I highly recommend it!

    Amazing seafood restaurant. It has a pleasant and luxurious atmosphere. When I came here, the 1st floor barely had any seats for us 5, but since the second floor was void of customers, we were lucky to have a table near the wine deposit. The food however is quite costly with the cheapest food costing only 8.50 euros. Overall, the food was delicious and appetizing. I enjoyed its oysters even though they were quite solid. My first course, vegetable tempura, was very appetizing, especially its sauce. My second course, baked hake, was so soft that it digested delicately in my esophagus The service was quite fast and was amazing. Muchas gracias y un saludo cordial.

    Food was extremely delicious, a bit expensive for what it is but well worth it from time to time.

    Friendly helpful staff, nice ambience. Great selection of pintxos, seafood and meat dishes. We mixed and matched - salad, prawns, croqetas, jamon Iberico, pintxos, all washed down with a good value Albarino.

    As a tour guide who traveled all over the world, its my pleasure to highly recomend this restaurant, as one of the best places i've ever visited. We've ordered a variety of dishes. All of them wereexeptionaly tasty. Seafood as well as different starters and the meat. The service was so elegant. Plates, silverware, etc like in a palace. The manager and his staff were smily and friendly. Enjoyable moments.

    We ordered lobster rice and it turned out to be salty that we couldn’t eat it. Otherwise, the rest of order-seafood and desert was okay. Overall, not worth of what we paid >100 € .

    Great atmosphere, excellent service and wonderful food. Has the feel of a comfortable local village restaurant yet on a bustling city street.
