The best lobster rice and Fidea noodles I’ve ever had. Service from GOJO and the manager Caser were extraordinarily and so friendly - we had such a wonderful night there! Thank you so much!

+1We heard about this place from a friend. We were received at the door by Horacio. He quickly prepared a table and seated us. We wanted many of their offerings but he helped us narrow them down. We ended up with a Ensalada Verduras, a plate of grilled razor clams, and a whole turbot with potatoes and roasted red peppers. We complimented the meal with an Albariño. The food came efficiently but not hurried at all. The atmosphere was relaxed but not slow. staff were friendly and gracious. Unfortunately, we did not have room for dessert. Next time!

5.5/10The wait staff ignored us. When they finally took our order, the food began to arrive but I had to remind the staff that we had ordered wine. The grilled octopus and a chick pea soup appetizer was delicious. The rolls were stale and the rice with seafood was over salted and the seafood was hard to find. Our hotel concierge made the recommendation and I suspect she gets a kickball.

6.5/10The food was good. The service changed for the worse since last year. We had a table of 10. No one received their dishes, they were randomly placed on the table, so we had to get them ourselves. Very poor waiter memory and order management. Also, 3 of us received dishes that were not ordered by our table, the waiter trying to convince us to take the wrong dishes. For one of us the third attempt was successful, after the waiter tried to convince him by bringing again the menu that he ordered something else. Very rude and unprofessional staff! Also, we had the inspiration to check the bill, thus discovering that it reflected the dishes that were not ours, but brought at our table and refused as we did not order them. The waiter was even annoyed that we told him he overcharged us, but he corrected it without much fuss. Nevertheless, there were no apologies from them, after all the mix-up throughout the dinner. Once a wonderful place, our expectations were not met this time!

5/10The owner was very unfriendly and didn't know something about his own menu. The food in general wasn't good prepared.

+1Amazing food, and service. Went for lunch with my husband and 12 year old son; we shared oysters, shrimp (gambas blancas) and a nice seafood rice. The place is really nice and relaxed and, though somewhat expensive, they have fair prices for the amazing food and sercice!

9.5/10The wait staff were great. Spoke enough English and have English menus to help us get what we wanted. Oysters and Paella for dinner with a white wine from acacia barrel. Definitely worth a visit. Really friendly people with a great price.
