We chose gazpacho to start and seafood paella for a main dish. The gazpacho had the oddest texture we have ever encountered and the paella was tepid, had one decent king prawn and very little monkfish, so very disappointing considering the reviews this rstaurant seems to gain. Not cheap either, with quite a makup on mediocre wine. When the competition is so strong, why does a restaurant not pay more attention to its food?

The service was poor and it was some time before we were served. It took two hours to complete two courses. The food was okay, but best described as bland. When the bill came for 86 euros, I gave the waiter my credit card to pay the bill. He told us that the card machine was broken and had been for the last seven days??? He could only accept cash. This should have been mentioned at the start. It is obvious that the restaurant has some problems. The waiter told us to go to a cash machine if necessary to pay for the bill. There were no apologies. Fortunately we had enough cash to pay, it it was all a very unpleasant experience. Avoid.

It was the perfect size for lunch, the staff were helpful with my “pigeon Spanish” just needed to smile a little more. Hope this helps.

The Jamon Iberico was just perfect. The fish dishes fresh and beautifully served. What a joy of a restaurant.
