    6/10

    Nice small local restaurant. Although the beef I ordered as medium well had some pink parts, when I highlighted this issue it appeared that they had potential put my food in the microwave as the peppers seemed shrivelled. Understandably this could have been due to language barrier and when I spoke to a waiter who understood English, they cooked my beef for longer. Good to note for those from the UK that they add bread to your table but this is added onto your bill as we are used to this being free (not sure if this is the norm in Seville restaurants as this was my first visit)

    we left before we ordered because the reception was very bad.

    4.5/10

    This restaurant was rated 4.7 out of 5 on TripAdvisor. Based on that, I went with my wife expecting something special - but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. For starters, we ordered artichokes, prawns, and ham stir-fry. For mains, we had the Galician beef entrecôte and the gratin codfish with garlic & tomato. The starters were fine, but nothing memorable. The beef entrecôte was very chewy and fatty. I ended up spitting out about a quarter of the meat because it was simply too tough and unpleasant to eat - not exactly ideal. Overall it was a disappointment, and honestly not much better than the steaks you’d get at a pub in the UK. As for the codfish, the tomato sauce didn’t pair well with the dish. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t remarkable either. Their service was mediocre at best. The waiter wasn’t rude but seemed distracted and eager for us to finish quickly and leave. His attitude felt cold and lacked hospitality one would expect from a restaurant with 4.7 rating.

    Unengaged staff giving poor service . We had to leave 50% of the main dishes uneaten as the staff left it for ourselves to cook with no explanation whatsoever .

    The food was very good, even though we got the wrong dish. Wanted us to order online, but wanted to look at a menu. The staff need to be more friendly/welcoming and attentive.

    The food was okay, octopus was a little bitter. The lady server was acting as if working was a penance. We also didn't receive the discount.

    One meal was undercooked and even after it was conveyed it was still brought back undercooked and we did not enjoy. Server also didn’t know who ordered what meal. Food was just OK.

    We ordered starters with appropriate wine pairings and a main meal. They forgot our starters and we were presented with just our main course. It seemed the waitress had made a genuine mistake which was disappointing but we accepted without fuss. However the chap be hind the bar took exception to us and halfway through our meal brought ONE starter with two spoons and stuck it abruptly on the table. When I (politely) said ‘no thanks’ he said ‘free’ and turned on his heel with no apology.

    Bar/restaurant in a side street with a few other eating establishments. Service was good from cheery and friendly staff and the menu had plenty of choice. Food was tasty enough although too much garlic in the sauce for me.

    Great lunch. Marta was an outstanding server who steered us to some wonderful dishes. And, she suggested a wonderful local red that was a wonderful blend of temperñillo, Syrah, and grenache. She also suggested an outstanding sweet sherry to finish the meal. Everything was excellent. All four of us were very happy.

    The table was ready promptly, the wine we drank was also very good as we got a bottle for the table, but the food overall wasn’t special. We had many meals in Spain for our two week trip and this restaurant wasn’t towards the top of the list. The restaurant game is competitive in Spain, and I thought I’d just be honest here.

    Could not fault the food- 3 seafood starters were superb, as was the Iberian ham. Main courses- again 3 seafood and an entreated steak were fabulous. Luis the waiter couldn't have been more helpful, and the whole meal was great value. Loved it.

    The tapas and the most dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious, the only one I wouldn’t recommend is the lasagna solo milo. This was at best a good lasagna bolognaise. The bill also wasn’t correct, but when we mentioned the issue they corrected immediately. But nevertheless this happened I would really recommend this place for a nice and relaxing lunch.
