    The food was very delicious and the service was on point. We had the whole crab and let me tell you, it was enough for two people. It was delicious and of course fresh. They sat us right away and the food didn't take long. The ambiance was nice, and friendly. It was nice to see the locals eat there too.

    My husband and I tried the Percebes here for the first time. The server showed us how to eat them. They looked strange and ugly but tasted very good. We shared a seafood platter with a side of mixed salad and rice pudding for dessert. The seafood platter was excellent. Also this was the first time we ever had the shrimp with its eggs on the outside. Loved the house made hot sauce on the mixed salad. The pudding was delicious. Excellent service.

    Just a one-minute block away from Ramiro, we passed by Barcabela before heading over there, only to realize Ramiro didn't have the percebes (goose barnacles) we came for. We saw some in the window here, so we came back to have some. A soccer game was on, so everyone was pretty focused on it, and it got a lot more packed than when we first got there. We asked for just a small plate of percebes to try and a small bottle of white wine to split. Our server brought us waters and when the percebes came out, he helped us out and showed us how to eat them. We really appreciated it! It had a very low-key, laid back atmosphere, which we enjoyed. Service was still very friendly and pretty attentive, even with the game on. Had we been hungrier, we definitely would've stayed to eat some more!

    Awesome spot. Friendly service. I would come back. Seafood is fresh. I tried the barnacle, not a big fan. Crab was a bit salty but very good.

    The shop you find at will, the taste is good, freshness is the first element of seafood, the serving speed is also fast, the price is cheap and affordable, and the service is also very good

    Affordable and great portions. Ordered the lobster rice and clams. Greatly seasoned and fresh seafoods!

    Great crabs! We love it so much. Compared with another restaurant, where is 60 meter away, is much cheaper and you don't need to wait for a long queue to get the high quality seafood. The drawback is that the service is not good at English but the communication was ok. For the food I would like to go there again.

    Not much taste grilled codfish

    The shrimp rice with clams is way too salty, it smells like they added salted fish. We were mistaken of having some white rice, but it is a hot pot like congee with shrimp and clams. The grilled codfish soak in butter and olive oil without much taste and could be grilled a bit more. Sorry not recommended by us. Btw, the bread is not free. It was served without asking.

First let's talk location, it's near the Hotel Roma where we stayed so that was great. Next, prices are reasonable for the quality food you get. Last, service is slow but I hear that is standard in the area. Also, I'd like to mention our waiter was very courteous and helpful explaining the menu items to us. We shared Paella which was delicious, and my son ordered the Portuguese steak which he did not care for. We were unsure what to expect and it was a steak beneath ham, olives, eggs, and potatoes. A traditional style steak to the area. I also had a vegetable soup which was tasty and hearty. Over all the experience was good. I loved the appetizers, not pictured because they got eaten up so fast!

We were so glad we went, it was an outstanding meal. The restaurant is not large and mainly has seating for 2. Other reviews complained about waits, but it would be worth it. We ate early and were lucky to arrive when another couple was leaving. Service was quick and very friendly--and like many places here they spoke good English. They do not have a wide drink list, but we had a bottle of the house wine that was really good and complemented food perfectly. For appetizers, we had bread basket, miss cheese, and the caprese. Get the bread basket if you get either. I had not heard of that cheese but it was great, semi-soft with a nice flavor. The caprese salad was nice also, fresh tomato's and mint as opposed to basil. For the main course, I had the seafood paella that was served in a hot pan right from the stove. This was excellent with rich saffron flavor and a nice mix is seafood--the calamari and mussels were particularly good. I loved it. With the said, my wife's sea bass might have been better. The whole fish was served, nice and fresh. It was cooked and flavored absolutely perfectly. The skin was crisp while the fish was moist and just melted in your mouth. Completely wonderful. It came with potatoes and some steamed vegetables, a superb dish. Definitely worth a visit!

    Very small and local. Very inexpensive. Service was very nice. Definitely a step up from the many…read more"tourist restaurants" with people urging you in and plastic food pictures a few blocks away. We especially liked the soup, bread, and wine. Nothing fancy but good.
