    This restaurant is best for sunset viewing. The service was fast, the food is not great but it's…read morestill good. The paella was just ok, but the drinks were delicious and presented beautifully. They were a little pricey but that was expected because of their location.

    Los Tony's Chiringuito was our favorite place in Marbella to dine. We found Los Tony's before ever…read moreleaving the US by doing some research on our own for good paella/ seafood with local yet fresh flavor and someplace that was on the beach , or 'open air' , as the definition of ' chiringuito' means, also near our hotel. We found Los Tony's on our first night in Marbella and we ate here twice. It was amazing both times. The ambience is incredible, as it's right on the ocean with a direct view from any table in the restaurant. The seafood is local & as fresh as it gets. You are presented with the daily catches after you sit. The paellas are also plenty and incredible. There is also a great selection of tapas & sangrias. The first night we had a fresh hake that was oven grilled with a wine sauce over oven potatoes and fresh vegetables. The second time we came we had the sea bass baked in salt & potatoes bravas. Our daughters shared a lobster paella on night one and had a lot of leftovers : We started with croquettas and an Iberian cheese board the first night and the 'crispy gambas' the second. One thing : if you don't want the bread, which is a surcharge of about 1.90€ , say it before it's placed on your table.. it will be charged pp on your bill. Our sangria was the best we had in Spain --and we visited 6 places. I had a small 'jug' of Sangria cava and my husband had the small 'jug' of Sangria tinto (red). Dessert is more than listed on the menu -- it will be shown on a large tray; because I struggle with so many allergies and my Spanish is limited, I decided it was best to stick to what I know .. and it was also amazing. Our service was outstanding each time we came here. There are great restaurants along this beach up and down and Los Tony's is one of the best on Nikki Beach .. make a reservation and get a window table. You won't be sorry. Our server was Joavi and he's amazing. Tip well. It's deserved.

    Albert's has always been one of our favourite breakfast spots in Cabopino and we've visited many…read moretimes over the years, often bringing family with us. Sadly our most recent visit was extremely disappointing due to the way a simple issue was handled by management. I ordered avocado on toast with poached eggs and my husband ordered a small children's breakfast, something we've ordered many times before without issue. I briefly stepped outside to take an important phone call just as the food arrived. I was gone for no more than a couple of minutes and could see the plate arriving at the table. When I returned, half the dish was initially missing and had to be requested. Once I began eating, it was clear the poached eggs were badly overcooked and very dry. I had two bites and pushed the plate aside. Our table was right beside the bar where the manager, Cynthia, was working. It was obvious the meal had been left untouched, yet nobody came to ask if anything was wrong. When the waitress Evelyn cleared the table she asked if everything was okay. I explained the eggs were overcooked and she politely said she would speak to her manager. However, no one returned to the table. When the bill arrived the dish was still included. When I queried it, Evelyn explained that her manager had refused to remove it. Cynthia then came over and the conversation quickly became argumentative in front of other diners. Rather than listening to the feedback, she insisted the eggs had become overcooked because I had "left the plate sitting too long", which simply wasn't true. She even suggested checking CCTV before quickly backtracking on that claim. She also dismissed the issue by saying they had served many breakfasts that morning without complaint, which is irrelevant when a customer has clearly returned a dish after two bites. The situation became unnecessarily uncomfortable and embarrassing as she continued to argue the point in front of other guests, even rolling her eyes during the conversation. Eventually the dish was removed from the bill, but the damage had already been done. The younger staff members, including Evelyn, are always friendly and professional, but unfortunately we've found some of the more senior staff to be abrupt and dismissive on several occasions, and this experience reinforced that. Very disappointing, particularly from a restaurant we've enjoyed for years.

    Incredible meals. Family enjoyed the night eating. Catching the breeze off the marina and listening…read moreto live music. 8 minutes taxi ride (recommended) from our hotel.
