    The service was fantastic; the food delicious and the decor/ambience lovely. The only minor issue was we had booked via The Fork and should have had a 50% discount, but this wasn't applied.

    You book on Samantha's but they sit you on Hotel Roma. A bit suspicious at the beginning as it seems a tourist trap but it's not (both menus are the same). Food is good and service is great. P.S.: They brought all dishes at the same time when it could be done as soon as they were done (better to not eat some of them in a hurry to not eat them cold).

    Good food- portions were very generous and tasty. I don’t understand why soft drinks come in 250ml servings - for 5 euros a coke this is expensive. Nice music being played at the end..

    Bring your receipts! This is in the tourist area of Placa Real. All tourist restaurants in the square so be prepared to be treated like one. They did not want to honor the discount claiming that in the last step of the booking process the discount "may not apply". In other words, even though you see the discount when initiating the reservation, if it doesn't show it on the final submit page then it's not a discounted reservation. After rolling my eyes and appearing as we might leave they said they'd give it to us. In the end they would only give us the 30% instead of the 50%. They then did not apply it to the final check when presented. We had to point out that it was omitted. They then left and returned with the check using 30% telling us it was that or nothing. Not worth the extra effort to fight for the promotion. The place is nice inside and the food was good enough but felt like their heart was absolutely not into it when it came to the discount.

    Sebastian the waiter was very knowledgeable, the food and drink was first class, the restaurant is a hidden gem... The only thing that made the night a bit rough was large group of English lads just outside the door singing badly OASIS songs all night ... Not the restaurants fault

    Service was great, food was good. It looked shady because there were no other customers at the moment but we gave it a chance and it was a lovely lunch. Waiters were very friendly.

    Booked here with 50% discount on food and it was amazing value. The Mussels Marinara had the most delicious broth and would highly recommend. The seafood pasta was also tasty and the beef burger was great too. The full prices for these dishes are good anyway, excellent quality food. Live duo singing was nice and the service very friendly.

    Samantha's

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Jeannette! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Mussels Marinara, seafood pasta, and beef burger. It's great to know you appreciated the live music and the friendly service as well. We hope to welcome you back soon for another amazing experience!

    Good service, never asked if we wanted dessert as too busy concentrating on serving a big table of big spending /drinking table next to us. More interested in that table than 2 diners out for a quiet meal.

    We were a little worried about getting in such a touristy area but what a surprise. Amazing croquettes😁 have them from the starters and jump straight to the mains, meats were perfect. Place was busy and this didn’t stop good service or good quality. Highlight was a two piece band that was playing classics in both English and Spanish. Fun night out.

    Samantha's

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Corey! We're thrilled to hear that we exceeded your expectations despite being in a touristy area. Glad you loved the croquettes and our perfectly cooked meats—and that the live music added that special touch to your night. We hope to welcome you back soon for another fun evening!
