The service was nice, the location is great, but the food was really bad, had to return my main dish, and should have returned the replacement as well but at some point just wanted to get done. The lamb was mostly fat, the filet more sinews than meat. The service was nice and apologetic but cannot undo such a bad cook. A pity since the location is so nice. At least the took it off the bill, but the evening was still wasted.

The tables and chairs are basic plastic and uncomfortable. The food is Spanish, mainly tapas and is quite good. The view is lovely across the bay to La Gomera and sunset. The service is poor, not particulary slow but apathetic, unhelpful and unfriendly..

Served food very fast - which is great if you want that. No one really looking to take more drink orders. Some tapas dishes very good especially the grilled squid and croquettas. However, I would pass on the meatballs which were very disappointing - 3 small meatballs in a soup like sauce for 12.5€ was very expensive for what you got. Lovely spot, service could be better.

The quality of the food we got was awful. The spaghetti carbonara was a bland cream sauce and not in anyway a true carbonara. The tomato salad had hard (too cold) tomatoes with hard (too cold) cheese - the calamari was fine as in it was hot. Everything was served about 5 minutes after we ordered so it was obvious that nothing was prepared to order. The restaurant was busy so some of the food must be good - certainly not our choices.

Lovely food, with a good variety. We had mussels and Sea food spaghetti both were gorgeous. The Spanish omelette was the nicest we had during our stay. It’s in a great setting over looking the sea. Will go back again.
