The restaurant is located in front of the port so we could expect some kind of tourist trap... which was definitely the case! Paella was way too salty, grilled fish with green vegetables ended up with oily fish with a poor old tomato, the red wine was extremely cold and the waiter dropped half a liter beer in the back of our friend.... To apologize they offered us ONE beer... (the one which was in fact on the floor . Meals were overpriced (and not good! and the service pretty poor. I guess they do not really care to make clients happy as they know they're just tourists who will probably not come back... A place I would not recommend at all...

I found them great and abundant however I don’t like fish neither seafood. I explained the owner that my wife would love having the lobster rice and they agreed to prepare the menu just for her. She couldn’t finish her portion. Staff was very attentive. The other menus more economic or including meat were also worthy. The white wine included in the menu was fine. There is a kids’ area inside the restaurant with some toys. A bit difficult to park the car on weekends. Do not confuse this place with the other restaurant located just upstairs.

Great, friendly service and marvellous food. We had a beautiful view from the terrace of the port and the Delta del Ebro. Will return. Take no notice of negative reviews especially from those who confuse this restaurant with the one downstairs from it.

The drink I ordered didn't turn up, had to ask for it again, no apology. Our starters arrived, but it was one salad instead of the three I'd ordered. Again, no apology! I asked for the bill, nothing, so I asked again, it eventually arrived and I gave a card. The waiter simply went off and served other tables. After 10 minutes, a real ten minutes, I walked up to the counter to pay, I was treated as an inconvenience. The food was good though, the service awful!

I had the fideua to follow, and this too was just right, my wife and sister had the paella and were full of praise. The only minor quibble concerns the postres or puddings, however these have never been a strong point of Spanish cuisine and it is almost impossible to find a postre which is not either flan, yoghourt, ice cream or fruit. The crema catalana here was good, but I would love to try something different once in a while! But their three course meal with wine and coffee for 15 euros, with that fantastic fish soup, is unbeatable value anywhere
