We found a table for 2 easily enough, but sat there and were completely ignored until we flagged down a waiter at about 3:15. He came over and told us their kitchen is closed and so all we could order was either Octopus or Cooked Ham that was being prepared in a temporary tent setup outside. We questioned why everybody else had other food from the menu in front of us and he told us their kitchen had closed at 2:30 because they had too many tables inside with reservations. Because we were hungry and were at the end of the pier where there were no other eateries, we reluctantly ordered 2 beers and a pulpo (octopus), while we watched all these other outdoor tables receive their orders of crab, calamari, croquetas, and all different types of seafood. The beers came after several minutes, along with some bread. The pulpo arrived about 15 minutes later and though it was served with warm cooked potatoes, it only came with toothpicks; no forks, no placemats, no napkins (other than the see-thru ones inside the dispenser), so since potatoes were falling all over the table, we finally asked for forks and got them when we were more than half way thru our pulpo. At this point we asked for one more beer, but it never arrived. After we watched our waiter serve a beer to the table next to us and never looked our way, then went to another nearby table with a party of 8 to take their order and offered them everything on the menu as well as their specials of the day, we decided it was time to leave so we asked for the bill and paid. As we were leaving, several other people continued to arrive and were seated and served on the outdoor patio. So, either this is how they treat the party of two that just arrived by chance and didn't have a reservation, or they don't like to serve people that are obviously not from their tiny port town. We have never been treated so poorly in a restaurant anywhere, ever !!!! Although we vacation in this area for months each summer, and people here are generally very kind, welcoming, and friendly, unfortunately the people running this restaurant leave a very bad impression for the town. As a result, we will make it a point to never return and to tell all the locals we meet about how horriblly we were treated there. They also get many TOURISTS here every year, so we hope they too will read this review and STAY AWAY !!!!!
