    One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. From the bar to the dining room is a joy to visit. Wonderful tapas, fresh fish and shellfish, home grown vegetables. What's not to like? Its run like clockwork and it shows. Perfecto!

    This restaurant has a buzzy atmosphere, good food but we experienced VERY poor service. However other patrons around us were happy. After 1 1/2 hours of waiting we still didn't have our food while people who arrived after us had had theirs and were finishing, even after we reminded the waiter several times. On the plus side, after we had complained to the boss we left with a free meal.

    3.5 stars. Cool for drinks as they give lots of tapas. Don’t count on a great service though. Don’t count on a good service either. You better get your drinks at the bar directly to get served. Affordable and good to pre party 🎉

    Let me start this review with the punch line. €90 FOR ONE FISH. Yep, €90. So, three people walked in for lunch. We were seated and shown the selection of available fish. The waiter pointed to a fish and suggested how it should be cooked. It all sounded great. We also ordered pulpo as a shared starter. Both dishes were actually pretty good including the white wine that helped wash it down. After desert and coffee we ordered the bill. Most items were a little on the expensive side, but not outrageous. Now back to the fish. The fish alone was €90 for 1.8kg. That's €50 per kilo. We questioned the waiter as we thought this MUST be a mistake. He shrugged his shoulders and walked off. So the moral of this story is always, always get a price before you place your fish order. We all felt pretty ripped-off by this experience and will now write bad reviews on as many web sites as we can find.

    Laying, Sneaky, Rip off!!! Sadly the senior staff really let the place down! They hassle you to order and hassle you to pick the most expensive option. Than they charge you double for what you ordered anyway or for something you didn’t even order (which you don’t touch because you kind of “know” that they are going to charge you for it), they than try and blame it on you when they know they have changed the order to over charge you. They stand right by your table throughout your meal, giving you no privacy or peace to enjoy your average meal. Food isn’t great or even good and everything is incredibly over priced, why spend 4 times the amount when you can go to any other restaurant around with great staff, better views or a better ambient and selling quality food for a fraction of the price? I’ve given this place 3 goes and the same result every time, never again!

    Food might be good. Drinks are expensive, but didn't like the dozens of song birds in tiny cages. I love Spain and the Spanish but why do they love this idea so much?

    Best bbq pulpo seco (octupus) on the coast! Great tapas - I especially love the noodles with alioli mmmmm. Gets very busy so pays to book. Order the octupus, you won't regret it!

    Great food and very friendly staff. The mosquitoes can get a bit annoying early in the evening so applying a repellent is suggested. Price is a little steep but well worth it.

  • 1/5 Alberto P. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very expensive for the quality of the food. The calamari was not fresh, dry and very hard to swallow. It took forever to get served despite the place was empty and the service was very lousy, no enthusiasm at all. Definitely I won’t be back and will not recommend the place to anyone.

😠 Abysmal service. Not friendly at all, steak was rare which I didn't order, fries were a mess. Still waiting for bread and a drink. Don't recommend this at all especially for the prices.

👍👍 Very good place to eat fish: for quality and for price: the portions are generous and the price is not expensive at all. Good service from the staff. Note that they have a lunch menu that is quite good too
