I think we were unlucky that when we arrived they had a large group celebrating a birthday party (Karaoke included); and the staff didn't have time to look after us properly. The over-designed place is looking tired, dated, the smell in the dining room was terrible (something to do with the cheese they were serving) The food was over-killed (more than overpowered) by loads of sauces that didn't need to be there! The meat carpaccio arrived buried in three different coloured spiral sauces and something else I can't remember. I had to rescue a beautiful piece of haddock (merluza) from the same very sweet red sauce (fried tomatoes Solis), the same very bright green sauce and a huge wallop of very sweet balsamic vinegar paste. In the end, and despite the very extensive menu, all food tasted the same, dishes weren't at all pleasing to the eye, so what's the point? We all were genuinely very disappointed!
