2/10Other than the wine list, there is little to recommend this restaurant. Very much an ‘emperor’s about new clothes’ food experience - flavourless and unimaginative. I would not recommend.

10/10Everything was perfect. Elegant setting. Attentive staff. Exquisite food and presentation was outstanding. I have never seen do much detail in the presentation of every single dish. Definitely should be on every foodie's list for Tarragona.

3.5/10The food was very poor. Dessert was the best aspect of the whole meal. Lack of detail and finesse with the food overall.

7.5/10I have been there 20 times and it is outstanding. However they reported me as a n0-show today because they just assumed I was a walk-in at front of desk even though I said twice I had a booking

4.5/10I was very excited to try this restaurant as around Tarragona city there isn’t a lot of fine dining. So I was very happy to book it and we went there for the first time for lunch and as they suggested a great experience if we take the tasting menu, so we went for it, the food was good but the service was not good at all, it seemed that they try to bring this restaurant as a fine dining experience but unfortunately they need allot of training in the service side. Also while in the middle of the meal I received a call asking me if I was still going to the restaurant as I had a booking for 13:30 and I was shocked as I as already in the restaurant for over 2 hours. Plus they missed one of the main course and they started serving dessert only after we had the first dessert they come to say that they apologise but they will bring the main course and that was very weird since we were already in the dessert and we had to go back to main course and return to the dessert again. Few days after we had a business dinner for 8 people which we booked way in advance and they sorted us close to the bathroom door which was smell like urine and it was not pleasant. Mentioning of the bathroom, both times I went there it was not clean and consequently the tables closer to the bathroom door can smell the string smell of urine. The food is very expensive for what you get and the experience of testing menu they mentioned in they website is not great at all. The restaurant has a potential to be great but they still few things they need to sort it out before they rich out the quality of a Michelin star standards. The food is good but they can improve on some dishes

6/10We’ve eaten at this restaurant several times and this is the first time we’ve left disappointed. The service was good, although we did feel rushed at the end. Unfortunately it was the food that we were let down by as all courses tasted very similar, with a very savoury taste, including the desert which was strange.

6.5/10Nice experience! I understand why the restaurant is in the guide, but I clearly understand why they don’t have a star. 4/5 food, but the service was weird

10/10Don't try and select from the menu, pay.the set price and let them surprise you. No dish was disappointing. Beautifully presented top quality food. Very skilled chef. The wine was excellent also, such a choice! You don't have to pay a premium for a good quality bottle. When we will be back in Tarragona we will be booking our next visit to this hidden gem. Thanks for the lovely experience.

9.5/10Food was excellent and beautifully presented. Service was attentive, but a bit brusque and officious. We speak only English, but are very used to dealing with that issue. It seemed they might not deal with a lot of non-Spanish speaking guests? So, all in all, a very positive experience with a couple of rough edges. Would definitely recommend and would definitely dine there again.

8/10Went for the tasting menu and the food was incredible! The food itself would have got 10 stars but the reason I give 8 is because of the service. They do not speak English so we didn’t get any explanation of the food and we ordered a bottle of cava which “exploded” when she opened it and she didn’t give us a new bottle? This means we paid for a full bottle but 1/3 was wasted.. no apologies, no refund, nothing. It is a shame because with these chefs you could have had a one star Michelin restaurant but the service is way too poor.

9/10The tasting menu was really perfectly balanced with many dishes that surprised our palate. And the Spanish focused wine list offered many intriguing options, making it very hard to choose. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and amazing to be a part of maybe sometimes lacking a bit of attentiveness to details. But all in all 3,5 hours of food and wine heaven

9.5/10The food was superb & the staff friendly & attentive. Had patience with our faltering Spanish & explained ingredients in English when necessary. Opted for the tasting menu & everything put in front of us was a delight for both the eyes and the palate!

10/10This was a great experience! The food, presentation and service were all outstanding. It’s been a long time since we enjoyed dinner that much! All senses were pleased - I particularly enjoyed the fish and shellfish dishes. The wine was paired very well too

10/10Quite simply, the culinary highlight of our visit to tarragona.! The €40 Essence tasting menu was sublime. The quality of food, creative serving, attention to detail and element of surprise in the combination of ingredients was sublime. We eagerly anticipated each course arriving at the table. This meal is not about quantity but about flavours, ingredients and local cuisine at its best. Our server brought us through each course in detail and several were adapted subtly for the one gluten free person in our group. He felt special as a result, not hard done by or left out as is often the case. We lingered at the end to finish our wine; we weren’t rushed. It was simply outstanding. Do not miss it!
