Lovely staff and good ambience. Wines reasonably priced. My pil pip cod was beautifully cooked but came in a creamy sauce rather than the spicy sauce I was expecting. Monkfish was excellent.

Located in a charming neighborhood, with a very well decorated and welcoming dining room, we enjoyed an excellent "arroz negro a la tinta del chocco". Very friendly and attentive service. Of course, all this comes at a price that could be a little more affordable.

We had eaten at this restaurant last year and loved it; made a reservation to return this trip with a group of 8. We were seated immediately, while the hostess was away from the desk but the person who sat us checked the reservation and put us in the right table. The hostess challenged him in front of us about the location. She then continued to berate and be verbally abusive to one staff member for the next half hour right next to our table (he was doing a very good job for our table). The head waiter was pleasant, but very pushy and rushed us throughout the meal. We had an early (21:00 hours) reservation and the restaurant was certainly not crowded and there was no excuse for the rush. The food was all good - not amazing but tasty and very enjoyable, but the service definitely put a damper on the evening and we will not be planning to return.

There is very little fish/prawns in the paella for the price. The service was shocking. Half an hour to take an order. A beer that never came but that they charged for. Waitress in a bad mood. Dessert arrived after they had brought the little cakes they give you to go with the coffee.A Maitre D who ignored us when we were trying to get attention.

I traveled a distance for a seafood meal, solo, tourist. I used TripAdvisor to narrow my search & this restaurant was the best on a busy Friday night. The fish selection was probably good by local standards. I was disappointed that the few choices remaining were for two people, apparently two people only. I identified one of these items, first asking for the tuttlefish, then when that request was declined I asked for the chipperones. To clarify, the server said vegetables several times. She went to the kitchen to verify, I supposed, then returned to say it was okay. I was served a plate of rice. I called the server over and showed her that there were no chipperones in my rice . I never saw her again. I asked a waiter and he sent over a manager. We repeated chipperones, we repeated tuttlefish. I wrote a note using MS Translate. He quickly resolved the problem by sending me a large, grilled squid. Problem solved? No. I paid 44 euros for 10 asperagi and a $2 squid.

The lobster paella was tasteless and disappointing. The service was really terrible - plenty of staff on the floor but it took 30 minutes for me to receive my first drink, after we received and ate the appetizers.

We went for a late lunch on a very busy Sunday. Waiting staff could not have been more attentive or kind. Food was outstanding and, as a result of the strong pound, great value too. Definitely try it.
