My Spanish is normally okay when ordering in restaurants but we happened to get a waiter Who didn’t explain the menu very well. He finally got a waitress from downstairs who was very helpful and we ordered. My mediterranean small squid with black garlic aioli was very simply chiperones and I’ve had better. My friends ordered the Burata which was okay, The rack of lamb maincourse had so much salt it was inedible my fish of the day Escorpora, was undercooked (it had blood on it , cold, tasteless and was served with a tiny piece of cold burnt aubergine and courgette, it was the worst meal I’ve had in many years! My wife’s squid was also undercooked. The food was served on awkward shaped plates, the waiter struggled to carry them. Three starters come out at the same time and the fourth one we had to wait almost 10 minutes for exactly the same thing happened with the main courses three came out and the other one we had to wait for overall a terrible meal. We complained and they took the maincourse fish off our bill but at €180 with one bottle of wine I felt it was a poor gesture. It’s clearly a restaurant trying to be something that it isn’t.

The waiters are so slow that you get crazy waiting just for a glass of water ... The service is a disaster, but the food is good!
