As is the custom in spanish restaurants we started with tomato and aoli with toast, followed by salad. Then we had a fish course which comprised of mussels, calamari, cockles? and baby squid. Then followed the rather enormous meat platter which included pork, rabbit and lamb which we could not finish! However, we did all manage a dessert, chocolate cake, almond cake, rice pudding and ice creams were on offer. Together with wine the menu del noches came to about 13 euros per person.

It was a ticketed night and the management where notified of numbers attending well in advance so the management had plenty of time to get organised. Sadly this was not the case, not only was their insufficient staff to cater for the diners but the meals they promised failed to materialise. My starter was vegetable soup, it was just a green mush with no taste whatsoever to make matters worse there was no salt or pepper on any of the tables to try to rescue this gloop. One course was supposed to have been chicken breast with vegetables, what we had was chicken thighs with chips and scarce few of those. The chicken was under cooked and the chips like drumsticks, those that had other meats complained they were extremely tough some just put the meat in napkins for their dogs as this was all it was fit for. For sweet we had profiterole's, these were four small things drowned in some sort of brown gloop that vaguely tasted of chocolate. All diners where offered 1/2 a glass of wine this came not from a bottle but a barrel. We were charged €15 per head for this rubbish we could have had far better at any other establishment. My advice give this venue a wide berth.

There was only 2 tables in both had been served so we sat down outside waiting to order drinks and food.. we waited for 15 minutes and the woman/waitress who ignored us totally and was in conversation with a spanish couple on one of the other two tables. This was the most SHOCKING RUDE SERVICE we have ever experienced.. so after waiting this long we just left to go to another Restaurant... and still the waitress never spoke a word...
