It had a small menu, which sometimes can be also a positive thing. The setting was pretty and peaceful so we decided to give it a go another day. Before doing so, I did look at the comments and they were all very positive and particularly positive for people with celiac disease for which they seem to cater well. As I was taken someone who is a celiac, I thought this could be a new discovery for them. With this in mind and since we generally trust the wisdom of the crowds offered by reviews, we went there. What a disappointment this was!!! The food in Asturias is certainly amazing, sometimes totally stunning and generally quite cheap. The prices seemed step when we looked at the menu in detail but we thought we would give it a go with a positive mind since we were there and maybe it would all be worth it in the end. We ordered 3 dishes and frankly they went from edible but nothing special to pretty horrendous and almost inedible, this last category being taken by the lamb dish, one of the most expensive, which had a really horrid acid taste and a not particularly pretty appearance. Mostly we just ate bread which seemed to be abundant, much more so than whatever came with it. In Asturias you can eat stunningly in so many places. My advise: maybe have a drink here and observe the views but definitely give the food a miss. The most disappointing meal we have had here for many years and we paid a high price to be let down. Maybe Trip Advisor reviews are not as reliable as I thought, hence I wanted to address the balance and give our own view to avoid other people walking out as disappointed as we did. To eat so badly here takes some effort and we seem to have sadly managed it in picking up this place!

The waiter tells me that I can't move it from its place and I have to have a drink standing while my friends are sitting down. That a client has to have a drink standing up when the place is half empty is unfortunate. No education. Service: 1
