We were the first ones to arrive for the dinner hours and were welcomed by an older gentleman. He didn't speak much English but he was very friendly and welcoming. He managed to recommend the steak to us which we all decided to go for. The service was quick and friendly, the food was lovely! the best steak I've ever had. I think its a family run business from the seems of it. We decided to go back the night after to try the tapas and were not disappointed. We were welcomed again with a friendly greeting and very much enjoyed our second meal. We talked about going one last time before flying home but thought we would try somewhere else instead. Would recommend, and visit again!

We had a drink on our first day has our room wasn’t ready and found the staff very friendly. On a few nights going out we saw the restaurant very busy, so thought we would try eating there. On the first occasion we booked for dinner, all our meals were excellent. On the second visit we had evening meal, this visit the food was more amazing and I struggled to eat it. I can’t recommend this restaurant high enough. To the owners and staff thank you, and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Muchas gracias

We had ordered two glasses of wine and were charged €7 which was over the top considering we had not paid that amount over the road in the Gran Bali Hotel a four star hotel. Off hand, rude and not a place we would recommend or visit again.
