Although other table finished eating and the lady Administrator gave us the table quickly. We ordered drinks. The waiter brought the drinks, but hasn’t set the table although other tables were set fine, with all of utensils and tablecloths. And only our table wasn’t set… we HAD to ASK to set the table… This waiter kept on walking back and forth with empty hands. And we finished eating and those two tables were still empty and waiting their reservations… We were having some expectation for this restaurant because of its place and good reviews. However we were disappointed with the service.

We didn’t have a booking and they found a table for our party of five and were happy to accommodate us though they were busy. Easily my favourite meal in Antequera
