Beautiful view, overlooking the sea. Had amazing grilled calamari and a seafood Paella and my husband a fish Paella. Both delicious. The Sangria was very good as well. Would highly recommend if you are walking on the Marbella boardwalk.

The restaurant was empty except 2 tables. This concerned us slightly as it was a busy bit with all other restaurants full but we thought we would give it a try. We ordered the ham and cheese toasties with my dad ordering an omelette. They came with chips however when they came out we were all surprised at how little chips we got on the plate, we were lucky if there was 10-15 individual chips on the plate it looked odd. We had finished our main meal and didn’t get offered the menu to look at desserts so my dad had to signal to the man serving if we could get menus back. He arrived at our table with the bill which is not what we wanted so then said to him we were actually looking to order desserts. He then brought us back the menus where we ordered some desserts between us all. My mum was really looking forward to her cheesecake when the man returned saying they didn’t have it. I think if you don’t have something on the menu this should be communicated when ordering not after, comes across like he didn’t know what they did/didn’t have available. This disappointed her as she then ordered the chocolate ice cream bites which she thought was milk choc but came out as dark choc, which she didn’t like (it didn’t specify what chocolate was used on menu), my dessert of brownie and ice cream was alright however my ice cream came out half melted already as if the ice cream was kept in the fridge rather than freezer. Overall the quality was average and service not great, I would eat elsewhere if ever returning as I felt our custom wasn’t appreciated and we were rushed out the door.
