The service was top notch from all of the staff, the atmosphere and location are great, and our food+drink was truly amazing! For the stellar quality of the food they serve here, the prices are without doubt very reasonable. This place is an absolute treasure, and I cannot recommend it enough that you come visit during your time here in southern Spain!

Really, these people have sacrificed decor for no-frills eating. But service was great with…read morebountiful AND spectacular seafood alongside the beach and Estepona's Port on the other. No Paella here. La Escollera is strictly seafood from what I saw. Because of Escollera's popularity with tourists AND locals alike, it gets busy so have a few things in mind: (1) give your name+last name to the host inside (2) if you can grab a high-top outside, go for it and get a Starter bite while you wait, (3) someone will yell out your last name, then (4) you're in. Attention from all the servers is definitely here and each offered individual tid-bit on what we ordered. Dozen oysters (or "12 pieces") were meaty and juicy with the right amount of oyster liquor. What's more, I know the oysters hubs and I have been getting on the East Coast in the States are good- but these here in Spain's Southern Coast are mind-blowing. Horseradish and mignonette? They're obsolete in these parts. You will get Tabasco as an alternate (for hubs) and some individually-packaged red wine. It did just fine. Prawns were good but the Sardines were excellent with a slightly crunchy-garlicky exterior. The oysters took it a bit over from what we've experienced during our stay. But come to think of it, comparing the quality and straight-from-the-sea catch to the East Coast, they were worth the €54. Skip the juicy-flavored sangria and go for a red or white instead. In essence, it's all about the seafood here.

Best seafood I've ever had!!…read more We arrived mid afternoon and the place was crowded. We put our name on the list but ended up just getting a bar table outside (which has service anyway). We ordered a lot of small plates and everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. While we usually prefer sautéed seafood, the fried squid was exceptional. Don't miss out on this spot! Right by the water, beautiful view.

Would…read moreprobably not have found it otherwise, as it is located distant from the downtown streets; up on a little cliff. Fantastic view, with panorama windows inside and also seatings outside. This dining place do not room many customers and the four waitresses had full control; politely making sure everything was ok, giving good recommendations and information, & easy to reach when in need. They even noticed one of our people was not present during ordering of desserts, and returned to ask whether she wanted something after returned from the restroom. Menu is based on today's catch; hence, may vary. All dishes are fish and seafood, but one choice is meat, and they do offer a kids choice (chicken nuggets and pommes frittes) not mentioned in the menue. We also had live entertainment by a female singer, and it's the first time I can say I experienced such live entertainment relaxing/suitable/welcommed! She had a range of cover-ballads, the volume of sound was comfortable and her voice was really sweet and soft/comfortable. This place is really recommendable - the perfect choice for a romantic dinner

Despite what seemed to be a significant number of waiting staff - table service was poor, there seemed to be to no system. We were served by at least four different staff members. The food was fine but arrived before the table had been prepared, however quality was quite good. Wine was too warm. As the night wore on more and more people arrived and stood around waiting for tables. Tables and chairs were moved around and tables crammed with diners (9 on table for 6) - all a bit chaotic but also entertaining. I guess the didn't want diners to go elsewhere despite being full - the penalty is service of course. Meal was about 50€ for two - bit expensive for the overall experience.
