8/10A very conveniently situated restaurant where it is advised to book but despite having Dunn so we were still left waiting for 15 minutes. The food selection was excellent and the quality equally as good. The ambience was attractive however in our particular case the service was dreadful and we had to wait an hour for our first course to arrive. Not good. However, also on the plus side the value was excellent.

9/10Great place, very good service and ambience. The food was amazing, o liked the starters and the desert. The seafood paella was too salty for my taste, but it can happen so it’s ok. Besides that the rest of the food was amazing.

7/10The food was delicious but unfortunately I have found bones in the fish that I have ordered, which should not be normal given the high price of the meal.

2/10Felt like herded cattle from start to finish. Getting in the door, despite having a reservation, is slow and frustrating. Wasn’t shown to a table, just told to go upstairs and find a table. Didn’t get a drink menu and had to ask for it, waitress waited but clearly was irritated we didn’t know what we wanted the minute we sat down. An ok mix and offering of tapas. The worst paella I’ve ever had. Flavorless that clearly was overcooked and sat in a warming window for at least an hour. Room temperature and clearly not fresh. The rice had crusted over on the sides. There was not even salt or pepper on the table. The restaurant was chaotic and miserable, did not want to even stay for dessert. Not sure why this restaurant is popular, but do not recommend.

The food is terrible, the chicken and the fish were raw cooked and the potatoes were reheated. Everything just really bad.

9.5/10The ambiance was lovely, just perfect for a family gathering on a special day. The food was quite good, but at a peak hour it took some time to serve. Nonetheless, a memorable experience.

4/10Restaurant was pretty packed during low tourist season but I get the impression they are simply understaffed. Most of the food came out cold and was mediocre. Sangria was great. We asked for things and they were forgotten about. Waitstaff generally ignored us or stepped away while we were in the middle of speaking. Probably some of the worst service Ive had in a nice restaurant.

Waiter provided several options due to my severe shellfish allergy. Very reasonable price for the amount of food provided.
