We went here on a recommendation as our friend had been here as a larger group for his 40th birthday. I had left it late to look at availability on a Thursday and there was no availability until the Sunday night between 7-9.30pm. It was worth the wait for a few nights. My partner loves seafood and the choices were endless. Not so brilliant for me as a vegetarian however the quality of the burrata on the starter was the best I’ve ever had!!! The vegetarian paella was excellent with a lovely friendly service. Would highly recommend to all.

The waitress was excellent but the wine waiter argued that we had selected a different drink to the one we clearly did order. It is unpleasant when staff argue with customers like that

Overcooked calamari with soggy batter. Deep fried, burnt coquettes. Overcooked paella Ropey cheap steak. Poor fish dishes considering we were at the harbour. Wait staff were good humoured and attentive and tried to placate us with Cava.

The atmosphere was “ok”. Being that it is on the marina, perhaps glass walls so that you could see out to the marina would be nice. The food was ok but pricy for the quality. We had a garden salad (good for the traditional style), fried shrimp, good size portion and taste, shrimp/fish paella was disappointing as it was not astounding or impressive and the sirloin which was smoothered in the sauce enough to hid the poor quality of the meat. The steak had a larger than normal percent of fat (1/2 of the steak). Needless to say, the price for the food / atmosphere were not comparable. It would be nice to also have a non-smoking outside section. Not common for Spain but suffocated by the tables all around us.

Fantastic seafood
6.0
We arrived on time, were well dressed and not demanding, yet we were treated very poorly and waited over an hour to pay. Obvious fighting between the 2 servers and the owner/manager was disrespectful to the guests. If I was this chef, I would take my talents elsewhere.

Food came out very fast almost rushed but it wasn't crazy busy. They did not rush us off the table however and the staff was on the most part very friendly and responsive. I had the Gilthead whole fish San Sebastián style and it was delicious. Lovely setting by the water and a moderate noise level. Americans used to no smoking at restaurants (a rule in NYC for years now) be warned outdoor diners in Espana smoke. We were trapped between two smoking tables but the breeze kept the air clean for the most part. Desert was good; all chocolate dishes were very good including the chocolate mousse which is diabetic appropriate but I couldn't tell the difference between it and regular mousse.

Lovely setting overlooking Marina. We asked to sit outside in a quiet spot and we were pleased we did. Service was efficient, our waiter was very friendly. Food was good and priced fairly for European standards. Would go back.

Great dinner for a group! was a more expensive dinner for our 2 week trip to Spain, but well worth it. Complimentary champagne too. Highly recommended if you want an outdoor mea near the water.

We had a delightful dinner overlooking the boats in the harbor. Paella was delicious. Service was superb even with a special request to avoid a food allergy item. Very accommodating.
4.0
Like others this was recommended to us by our hotel and you do wonder if they have some deal going. Delighted upon arrival as we were directed to a table across from the marina however because the fencing around the dining space is not clear and is higher we could neither see the water nor the activities on the water. Our waiter did not speak English and seamed annoyed that we did not speak Spanish. The food came in a timely manner but it was nothing I would rave about. The Lobster Paella that was raved about was over seasoned and not that great. I was hoping for more fresh fish selections since we were by the sea. Disappointing! Better places to go.
5.0
The restaurant's setting is ok for what it is. The food, however, is strange. It is not bad-tasting, but it is not good either. The way I interpret it is that they do not use fresh ingredients, or the cook doesn't know his job. One of the two.
