We booked this last minute as decided to visit Denia Castle. We had high hopes due to reviews but on arrival felt we were seen as a ‘Fork’ customer, so put in a corner inside rather than being allowed to sit at table of choice outside. When we requested this we’re told we had not booked outside, didn’t know we had a choice and as tables available felt we were only offered ‘cheap seats’ inside, where bright lights make ambience not great. Service not great with several things ‘forgotten’ and needing prompts. Food ok but some elements (steak) poor.

Loved this place Oreana (if that’s her name) was lovely and very attentive. Chopitos were dry, not oily like some. The Sardines were amazing and if you’re looking for a full course the jamón and eggs certainly fill you up. We will definitely return.

I don't know what happened to this restaurant, the food there has become disgusting. The duck breast even smelled, the fish was dry and not tasty at all, just awful, we used to go there, never again! Moreover, they also cheat, in the application The Fork the prices are 10% less than in reality, they refer to the owner, who does not want to update, and apparently monitor the quality too.

Friendly welcome and attentive service throughout. We shared three dishes, and a dessert, all of which were very good. The octopus was outstanding, tender but crispy, and a more generous portion than most. No mention made of The Fork discount, but two separate bills (the discounted food, and the full priced drinks) brought at the end. Prices without the reduction would still be very fair, and we would certainly return.

Good friendly service. Nice choice and good value when getting the 30% discount on the Fork. A few more vegetables with the fish were needed. No real complaints.
