The food was delicious, we only tried the chicken paella but it was tasty. Also warm bread with olive oil and olives was a nice touch. All the waiters were very pleasant. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance.

We shared a Seafood Paella on their outdoor seating with Sangria. The paella had a thin layer of rice was over-cooked and the edges were dry and hard. It wasn't busy at the time, we expected better and the server wasn't friendly, Sangria was ok.

Loved the ambiance and the staff was great. I didn’t enjoy the shrimps for I had to remove the head and tail. Although the presentation is nice I would have liked them better without the head and tail. The octopus needed a little most taste it was bland. The meat was excellent.

Dinner was nice. Service - exellent. We ordered steaks and paella. Steaks were good, especially sirloin steak. Wine was consonant with food. But… rice in paella was much too salty, so only 4 stars. Generally was OK.

The food was incredibly tasty. We had garlic prawns and mussels as starters and then seafood and chicken paella. Everything was impeccable, from the wine to the food. We’ll definitely go back.

Maybe the best restaurant I tried in Alicante: we ate there 4 times during our holidays in Alicante, and every dinner we ordered something different, to test all the menu: everything we ordered was great (I loved the sea paella). We’ll be back when we’ll come in Alicante again.

We were here for our honeymoon. We weren’t allowed in due to re-opening at 19:30, though when we came, they were letting others in and serving them We didn’t have the warmest welcome, we were told some drinks had ran out though they were still serving them to new arrivals. The Food was covered in salt, found it hard to eat and the fries which came with steak were very greasy and soggy. Steak wasn’t cooked to order, asked for medium/well done and rare arrived, mooing! So this had to be sent back as my partner couldn’t eat what was served. We also had to keep asking for the Green sauce we initially ordered for the steaks. A positive was the red wine we had, very tasty and sweet, fresh bread was also tasty. No management around to speak to, felt rushed and waiters tried to sum up with light joke which felt misplaced.

Had a wonderful experience. Nothing bad to say; service was lightning quick and super friendly, the food was absolutely delicious and the ambience was ideal. So intimate and well maintained by the staff. We felt catered for and comfortable, and the space itself was super clean and so well laid out. All in all a wonderful night I would 100% recommend! Thank you Picaro 1999 ????
