We had 17 people for a birthday party. Staff were helpful, food was good. Only hiccough was the booking made a month in advance via Messenger wasn’t in the diary, luckily we checked again a few days beforehand. Service was great. No vegan food for 3 vegans but chef made a vegetable pasta on request. Wonderful view as the sun set over the sea. Happy to recommend
Food was ok, service at bar excellent. For some reason, one older man kept interfering with our kid, being quite inconveniente and even causing some problems. Was surprisingly rude, witch eventually led to some damage control on our part to explain what happened to our child. Was not accustomed to this level of privacy invasion on a public restaurant. Otherwise, a good experience.
Got off to a bad start. Arrived at 12.30 which was probably a bad time to arrive as it seems all the staff have their lunch at this time!! We were being completely ignored. Stood around waiting to be shown to a table. Was just about to leave when one of the older members of staff eventually acknowledged us and retrieved the situation. Once seated and once the staff had had their lunch it was fine the food was good and the service OK. Wouldn't rush back.
Where here, waited 35 minutes for the drinks, service very rude and did not care at all. Will not come again and I advice foreigners not to come here as it seems that they prefer locals in their restaurant.
Went for a family diner. Service was very slow at first, but overall nice. The quality of the food another story. Grilled calanares poor both in taste and structure, 3 smallish calamares 17 euros with no side dish. We asked for grilled sea bream (dourada) for 2. The fish costed 60 euros, and from the taste it did not seem like open sea! The fish came with some boiled potatoes and a small bowl of tomato salad. When we checked the bill we realized they charged 5 euros for the tomato salad we did not ordered and it was the minimum they coul provide as a side dish for 2. We complained and they agreed imediately to take it off. Overall not a good experience and although we come here regularly we will not return. It is a pitty. Nice setting but the rest very unconvincing
