The steak tartare was good but the grilled calamares far too salty with undergone roasted veg. The staff were helpful and gave us complimentary coffee but would not recommend this...restaurant.

The set menu is good value and food was decent, nothing wonderful but all fine.

Firstly, can I just say that this restaurant has the best view of the bay, the views are stunning and the best in Tamariu, in my opinion. I read the reviews on Trip Advisor (predominantly bad) but decided to form our own opinion as, after all, we're staying here for 5 nights. I will start by saying the food was very good. The problem is the waiters. Too busy having little jokes and private conversations amongst themselves, I think they forget who the customer is. Frustrated that we didn't order our food fast enough, they couldn't offer any recommendations or advice. In fact, we deliberated over the menu for a bit, ordered mussels, only to be told, actually, they were off the menu. When we said we needed a little more time then to choose, we got a roll of the eyes. Hang on, tell us that from the start, and it's all good! We get that sometimes things are off the menu. When we did order and start eating, not once did anyone care enough to ask I'd our meal was ok. To be honest, they couldn't have cared less. We have 2 more nights in this hotel. Too much good competition locally that we won't be eating in the hotel again. Once chance guys and you blew it We sat on the fence, ignoring the reviews, but that's 99 euros we will never get back would rather have st fire to it..
