    Food was amazing and service was great. Some background music for ambience would have made it even better.

    Food and service were excellent. Just a little disappointed that they didn’t allow payment through The Fork, especially because that how I found them.

    Bad experience. The service was extremely slow. We had to wait 2 hours for our starter and the paella. Other customers left because of the delay in the service. In addition, the paella was too salty and the fried squid was undercooked. I would never come back there.

    food was overall good. Price was ok with the discount but would have been way too exaggerated without. when we arrived all the staff seemed lost and confused as if they had no idea we booked, no one spoke a word of english and it seemed like they never had clients before. we asked for water and they told us they didnt have any. Service could be better but the food was good

    The food was ok but the prices were too high in comparison to the other restaurants I tried in the city. Using the promo discount they were much better.

    Beautiful place in the old town with excellent service. The dishes are delicious and well-portioned, ensuring you won't overeat with a single course.

    The restaurant was really worm!!! Too much…. The starter was small and insignificant! In Spain wherever you go the ham is fantastic, here was first mod all so tiny and the test was less then the average!!! Nobody told us that there were another room on the first floor with more cold air…

    The service was friendly and did their best, but the appetizers did not come through at the same time. The main courses were served while I was only halfway through my appetizer. We had to ask for a cooler for the wine we ordered. However, the quality of the food and the presentation of the dishes were fantastic! Therefore, still highly recommended.

    Good food and pretty good ambiance. What made the experience worse then it could’ve been is that the use of The Fork had to be checked on 3 different instances. Recommend to make this more hassle free

    The place was nice and with 50%off it was worthy l. But I wouldn't have paid more. Fish portion was not appropriate for the full price, half price it was okay. The cutlery and the napkin was

    We would not return to this restaurant. Many things on the menu were not available, the service wasn’t very good and our steaks were tough. All in all, not a great experience…

    We discovered this place through The Fork with 50% discount. The waiter was professional. We ordered paella with calamares, gambas and garlic. We didn't see the garlic and were 4 tiny gambas. We ordered huevos ruetos which were ok and 2 beers. We paid 28€. It was a nice place, but only with discount.

    4.0

    Service level very poor. We had a six course degustation menu and had to ask for new plates. Communication in English was impossible, but the waiter didn't even (want to? ) understand our Spanish. Waiter was rather clumsy, which was also noticed on other tables and caused some laughing. Food was rather good, though some combinations were rather unusual, which can also be seen as creativity. But the food was niet allways fresh, the entrecote was not an entrecote, and the dessert was rather poor. We were one week in Valencia, and from all the restaurants we visited this was the only disappointment.
