    Mussels
    Kara R.

    Wow so glad we stopped here and ate!! We got the mussels and they were THE BEST mussels we have ever had! They were served with fries. Nice glass of Rosè, people watching was on point. I can't wait to go back and try more.

    Meh would be my first and last impression. I wasn't impressed by the food nor the service. I am pescatarian so I do enjoy seafood like no tomorrow. Being in Biarritz which is on the coast would enable anyone to be open to trying the seafood in the city. We ordered the Gambas (prawns), patatas bravas (potatoes with their house sauce), cheeseboard (mixed with cheeses, salad and their baguette on the side), and their calamari (probably the best thing on the menu). Everything, but the calamari were 2 stars. They got an extra star because of the calamari lol. Would I come here again? Definitely not. However, it's a great vibe inside with music and dancing on the weekends. According to our server, it's thee spot to go out to.

    Tapas

    We came here on the recommendation of our hotel. It was only a few minute walk from Hotel Saint Julien. We came early evening to take some tapas. The atmosphere was bumping. We chose a table outside near the heat lamps. I went and picked out some tapas from the bar. The tapas were mediocre. I sense they had been sitting a while or were not very fresh. Two of them had some guacamole like spread that was OK. The salmon one was the best, but even this did not compare to some of the other tapas we would have on our trip. We also had a salad which was not very good. It was completely drenched in dressing. We decided not to order any more food. Our sever was good and also quite good with English. Drinks came quickly and were reasonable priced. This place seems to be pretty popular based on the crowd. Maybe it is the location or the set up, but the food is mediocre at best. We left and moved on....

    The fish is most definitely frozen, the service is slow (our food got here cold), AVOID, there are much better places in town
