10/10This was our second visit here & it exceeded all expectations. The service is impeccable. The food & wine are some of the best in the area. The friendly waiters remembered us from our visit two years ago & were incredibly welcoming to our three sons. They cooked a special meal for the younger boys & were beyond accommodating. If you are looking for a fabulous meal that is exceptional value then I can not hesitate to recommend this restaurant.

10/10The ambience of the restaurant was warm and casually elegant. Gabriel provided guidance through the menu with the knowledge of a waiter with far more years of experience. He was kind and gracious throughout our lunch. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

9.5/10This was our second visit and met all the expectations we had after our first trip. The food is excellent and the service first class, this is not low cost but when balanced against the whole experience we are 100% happy with the visit. Attention to detail, flavor of the food…. We would recommend a visit, we will definitely do it again.

10/10Obviously drawn to the place by the Michelin badge, it did not disappoint. Beautifully cooked food and exemplary service. The restaurant is typically underwhelming from outside but a lovely feel inside, we were welcomed at the entrance by name…. a nice touch. We we very happy with the whole meal, a highlight for postres being “ fried milk” apparently a southern Spanish pudding and delicious. Thank you for a super experience.

7.5/10The food was good the fried potatoes that accompany the main meal need to go they are not tasty. We had scallops darter v good. The desserts were good too. The decor of the place is not up to the standard it should be very old fashioned as are the toilets it all needs a revamp.

9.5/10Great food with some very cool twists like little chillie pearls in the shrimp carpaccio..staff is great too even when it gets a bit hectic. Then the place gets a bit noisy.

9.5/10We had a fabulous experience at this very classic restaurant. The Chef came out and explained some specials for the evening- we followed his guidance and were blown away by the complexity of flavors in every dish. Our waiter Damian was so very professional and attentive, truly made us feel like house guests. Only suggestion is to dim the lights- the restaurant is so nice but needed to feel a little more romantic. Overall Highly recommend!

9/10An excellent meal in great surroundings. We went on Friday lunchtime so it was busy and the staff were perhaps overwhelmed by the numbers of customers.

10/10So we decided to try this restaurant out as yesterday was a national holiday. The restaurante was on the Michelin guide for 2021 (and previous years too) and I can see why. The food was so tasty and served by a very competent team. As for value for money we were pleasantly surprised at the fact that with drinks it cost 37.50€ per head. Brilliant! We will certainly return.

9/10Glad we made a reservation as it was busy, they read our request for high chair and had the table ready. Food was great and the English speaking waiter was clear on what each dish was and was helpful with our queries. Food was presented nicely and tasted great, each of us enjoyed the dishes we had. No kids menu but they were flexible on preparing something for them. Food was very fresh tasting and great wine. And price was very good for the quality.

4.5/10It was terrible hot inside the restaurant and the waiter never asked if the food or wine was OK. The albarino he proposed was the acid.

9.5/10The food was delicious , some unusual dishes, creatively designed and composed, and the menu offered plenty of choice. It was NOT expensive for this superb quality……..2 starters, 2 mains, a bottle of wine plus 2 extra glasses of wine , all for less than €100 The staff were charming and attentive, and although the restaurant was quiet ( early on a Thursday evening), the ambience was very pleasant.

10/10A fantastic taste experience. The prawn carpaccio with wasabi ice cream was superb. The scallops were delicious as was the suckling pig. The service was very good and the waiter helped us choose a fantastic local wine. On the whole a great evening with amazing food.

10/10Went for my wife's birthday. The food, service and ambience was perfect. Had some dishes that never had before, was very interesting and fun. The food was all beautifully cooked and prepared, would highly reccomend this restaurant. The dessert of the chocolate egg was amazing. Very reasonably priced for the extremely high quality food and service. Thank you very much everyone there!

4.5/10No ambiance and dowdy interior. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. My husband had three scallops to start which were flabby and no texture. He had Cod in tempura for main, lovely fish but have had better in a fish and chip shop. I had lamb which was delicious. They need to pay attention to presentation mine was advertised as lamb with apple puree, the puree was just a few dots scattered around the edge of plate. Nice wine at a reasonable price.

10/10Fabulous food and service. They brought the fresh fish to the table to show us and help us choose. The head chef came to take the order. It’s wonderfully quiet and old school inside. The wine list is good. The desert menu was excellent. Great value for money. We will definitely return.

9/10I felt relaxed the first moment I entered the restaurant. Two waitstaff people coordinate to take care of the dining guests. The menu is quite diverse and interesting. It was unfortunate that they did not have the golden apple tatin cake for dessert, but their in-house chocolate ice cream was wonderful. Wine prices are extremely reasonable.
