Plenty of choices (and not just the “usual” things). Excellent service. Would certainly go again when I’m the area.

The meat was chewy, full of hardened fat, the salad had apples that were browned and overripe, the seafood stale, no appropriate food for kids etc etc. I could go on about how every dish we ordered was below par. The head waiter was emptying used plates, and using the same hand to serve bread. We went because of the rating on Google and wished we hadn't. Avoid at all costs.

We went for the menu: the starters, to share, were tellinas, little shellfish, goat cheese croquettes with blueberry, and squid. We both opted for tuna as our main and then homemade flan and baked cheese cake for dessert. All delicious and well priced. We were the only non-locals there which was a real joy after all the tourist traps in town.

Though we speak little to no spanish, Fran (the owner) was so helpful in explaining their menu and helping us choose between the many authentic Spanish dishes they offer. The food was delicious and well-presented, and the service was fantastic.

They gave us a brilliant customer service. We ordered steak and cod with fries and tomatoes accompanied with calamares. Would recommend to our friends in UK and France.
