It was date night. I was really looking forward to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants…read more I'm being a bit generous with the three star review because two or three previous visits have warranted five stars each. Our server came by while I was busily chewing and I couldn't respond when he asked my partner - who eats simply and rarely complains - how everything was. Tough, that's how mine was. Couldn't get the message out as he left too fast. Never mind, I thought. I'll catch him next time I see him. Unfortunately, he never looked my way again. Four or five times I tried to flag him down, and four or five times he didn't notice me. I kept chewing - and chewing, I'd eaten most of my large baked potato and nearly half of my steak kebabs (and had given two chunks of steak to my date). He agreed that it was tough, and complained that his meal was cold. I finally flagged the server down and he argued with me that 1.) he had asked and 'we' said everything was good. I told him *I* never got the chance to respond. 2.) I'd eaten one of the skewers. Well duh! I kept trying to find a tender piece! He asked if I wanted a new serving and because my partner was finished I said, 'no'. He asked what I wanted him to do. I suggested one free meal next time we came in. He came back and had taken ten euros off the bill. I was happy that he'd adjusted the bill a little. I don't feel it was adequate, but it was something. I showed him my Yelp review of the restaurant from our last trip to Spain to back up what I'd told him, and let him know I was not trying to get a free meal. I'd much rather have had the good meal I'd looked forward to. As to ambiance, I'd always enjoyed Patagonia and was delighted that we were going to eat there that night. It's a pretty dining room with nice decor. Because of the prior great experiences, we MAY go back, but I doubt if we will on this extended trip to Spain. And if I do go back, I probably will not order steak at Patagonia STEAK HOUSE!

The level of vendor entitlement was outrageous. However understandable since the place was supposedly booked. Time to kick this part of Spain off the go to list. Very disappointed.

Had mussels to start and they tasted like they had been steamed in dish water. The steak on the bone was promised to be the best and at 89 euro per kilo should have been. it was tough and mostly fat. the potatoes were bland and we had to pay extra for cold sauce out of a bottle. The other two steaks were meant to be fillets but most definitely weren't. in and out within an hour, one drink each because they could not be bothered to ask if we wanted another. When asked we fed back our comments politely and the manager did not want to know. He was extremely rude and stood over us until we paid. I would avoid at all costs !

Enrico was the most friendly waiter, and we met him again on our second visit, when he was their with his wife and having a meal too. So if the staff eat at the same palce they work, got to have something about the place. ALWAYS BOOK!!!!! Can't fault the food nor the service. You have to get the attention of the staff sometimes, but that's only because they are so busy. Once you have they are very attentive. Air Conditioned, Children's Menu, Disabled Facilities, Limited Parking, but street parking normally OK, if not competing with the church. Highly recommend the fillet steak, and the spare ribs. The children's menu is equally good. One of the young chefs came out to talk to us on our second visit.

This is an odd one. 222 has 5 sections. A bar/café in the front, a terrace which opens at 1700, an…read moreice cream section, a pizza section which is indoors and a grill outdoors. The service at the bar/café section sucks to put it frankly. It's mostly staffed with pretty tiny girls who'd rather like to sit down and drink and chat than do serving. The grill though is the total opposite. The staff there only consists of men but they are extremely charming! They have a lovely sense of humour, they smile, and love to make jokes. The food is awesome and I had the best entrecote (an enormous 300g one) I've ever had with a wonderful pepper sauce. My wife had pork chops, which also were very tasty. Skip the rude front and go to the grill! I haven't been to the other sections but I believe the pizza section is staffed with the same staff as the grill.
