Outstanding!! The food was superb, and every dish was presented with amazing depth of flavor. Service was excellent and the menu explained to ensure we had a good balance. Even with a good bottle of red wine the meal was not expensive for the quality of food and setting. We will definitely be back and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Santander.

I was trying unsuccessfully to book a Michelin starred restaurant for my birthday today, but instead booked my next choice. La Vinoteca. How lucky we were, this restaurant is a gem. From the moment we walked in we looked after. by the maitre de who helped us make choices with the menu and also recommendations for wine. The team are highly skilled, efficient and friendly. The food was exceptional, the fish was absolutely fresh and perfectly cooked. Dessert was plate lickingly good. I would come back again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a Michelin level dining experience.

We were very impressed by this beautiful restaurant in the heart of Santander. Our head waiter gave us excellent advice on our choices, suggesting we shared certain dishes. The speciality Lobster Lasagne is fabulous, as was the Fish Soup. The tenderloin was superb. The wines we were guided towards were excellent and very reasonably priced, as was the meal itself. This is now on our ‘must go again’ list. We

Arrived at 8:40 for the 8:30pm booking and restaurant in darkness? Panic! Sat us down and gave us a drink. The Maitre'd arrived about 10 mins later and helped translate the Spanish menu (no English). Food was excellent ( sardines followed by entrecote) ; Wines very good; service somewhat chaotic but entertaining

Uncooked fish is not to my taste, although my husband likes it. I realised that ceviche and steak tartare are specialties here so I was careful to order cooked dishes. My sea bass was so lightly fried that it was cold and translucent. The staff were very nice and took it away to heat it up. I believe I am not the only person who does not like raw fish so you need to be aware of that in this restaurant. It is expensive for Santander. My vegetable starter was competent but nothing special. On a positive note, there was a good choice of bread, good well-priced wine and a tasty amuse bouche. El Serbal in vastly superior at a similar price.
