The steaks were the best we've had, rosette pastas were incredible, ravioli was so good it vanished in moments and salmon was delicious and not dry. Will definitely come back. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Thank you for a lovely dinner with incredible views on the terrace!

The staff didn’t smile and felt kind of angry. We ordered 2 pasta and both were cold, and were put in the microwave. When it got back the sauce was still cold. read more The staff didn’t smile and felt kind of angry. We ordered 2 pasta and both were cold, and were put in the microwave.

The view from the terrace was worth the 10min wait for a table to be free. Lots of locals eat here which is positive. Staff were not great, but the restaurant was busy and they were running around. Service was therefore efficient if a little lacking in smiles! Reasonably priced for the location and setting.

Gazpacho was bland. Duck confit was accompanied by pears and potatoes but somehow this traditional combination came out unbalanced. Oh well.... It was a bad chef night.

Starters were good (salads so can’t go wrong really). Our mains weren’t great. I opted for a chicken kebab which was lukewarm and the potatoes were cold. I sent them back and got a fresh lot. My partners pork didn’t taste like pork, tasted like tough chewy beef. We questioned this but due to their lack of English and our very minimal Spanish, we gave up. I didn’t dare eat the chicken. All in all, the meal cost €73. Very disappointed
