The restaurant is Mediterranean styled, which paired with amazing view of the sea and typical spanish music comes to a really great ambient experience while eating. Waiter was doing a really good job and was speaking English, which off-season is quite a rarity. I got my drink very quickly, but on the other hand, waiting time for te food was much longer than usual (around 25-30 minutes). However it was definitely worth it! Chicken in garlic oil I ordered was stunning in its taste. Overall, the food quality is really high, and the prices are good for your wallet. I recommend it for all of you :D
I'd advise to avoid, as the place is average at best. Just like many others said unfriendly staff, zero customer service (not even a smile! . The croquettes arrived still frozen inside so had to send them back. The paella was just ok my partner can cook a better one (and he's not a chef . Sadly, overpriced and under delivered, but I was in desperate need of food.

Was a bit reluctant to enter due to Las Olas being right on the beach thus a bit of a tourist trap, but ended up being really impressed. Unlike some of the previous reviews I thought the service was good, with one of the waitresses happy to discuss the dishes. Portions were generous and my swordfish reasonably priced when compared with some places in Calpe. Also an excellent Rioja served by the glass. Add to that great views of the beach, all in all a very good experience A pesar de estar en la primera línea delante de la playa y lleno de turistas, disfruté mucho mi visita a Las Olas. Las raciones eran bastante generosasy la atención al cliente era muy buena. (Una de las camareras me habló de los platos). Elegí el emperador, el cual era bastante barato comparado con otros restaurares en Calpe. Disfruté mucho La Rioja (que sirven por la copa) y las vistas de la playa, el mar y el peñón son preciosas
Very bad meal and customer service diabolical. Could not eat the beef steak and told the waiter. No reduction in bill as was told my starter and pudding would cost more ?? Have been going here for 20 years but unfortunately no more. Prices gone up but food quality definitely declines. Such a shame.
We come here every holiday since a few generations, my parents came here and now we come with our kids. A visit without a meal at las Olas would be missing something … we love the simplicity and warm hearted owners. The first evening is always set and decided : Great and constant high quality of food, simply excellent!!! It feels like coming home, warm welcome and friendly open atmosphere for everyone. Try it you‘ll miss something if not especially the paella delicious :
Good food. Not many seats by the window and can be a bit hot inside on a sunny day. The paella is better than a lot of more expensive places
This is the best value restaurant on the coast , Good choice of starters , also main courses and fabulous paella. Desert and half a bottle of wine each, or beer for 12 .50 Euros . Great Spanish atmosphere and an owner who knows his customers and their likes and dislikes ! Very well recommended again . We have been patronising Las Olas for at least 20 years !

First visit and not disappointed, everything was really, really good. not complaining only brilliantly.
Cheese salad and anchovies without work, anchovies were small. paul, I saw them better. in the local a rather unbearable noise. However, the attentive and useful waiters.
Restaurants in calpe recommended very good price of quality and your people very friendly and predisposed. I will return.
Very good kitchen, as well as the emerald service and the kindness of the waiters. and the price quite garlic
