We were looking for a restaurant that would offer a taste of local Catalan dishes. Maria, our…read morewaitress, suggested the Catalan seafood dish - amazing!! We also orders the locally caught gambas/prawns. Caught in the neighboring town and then grilled here perfectly! Sweet and delicious! Finished the meal with crema Catalan of course! Great views and excellent service.

We had a very nice experience at La Clova -- the restaurant "at the far end" of Platja San Pol…read more We went for lunch; had such a good time we later brought the whole family back for dinner. Very nice setting; good food; positive, outgoing staff (who were welcoming of a family speaking little Spanish......).

From the translation of "sweet cava" emerged a type of cava with fruit, not quite white sangria, a better dryer variation on the idea. Goat cheese salad tapas was fresh and delicious, but it was the chicken and ham croquettes that really impressed. It is a staple of every tapas place, but these were the best I tried - small, piping hot bites of deliciousness. Currle fish (a larger milder version of kalamari?) with a side of potatoes mild and fresh. Loved the service - fast when needed, but still allowing for a slow-paces European dinner.

A good price:quality ratio. The service is ok, but don't try anything too sophisticated or that is…read morenot typically Spanish, this is not the place for that. The menu has photographs which is practical for some, it's a restaurant for those who prefer not to go to a fast food, but not recommended if you like authentic cuisine.

Excellent experience!…read more We had some very good seafood, in a lovely setting, served by a very friendly staff... what more can you ask for? I have little to no recollection of what we had because I didn't do the ordering. I was an invited guest of a friend who has been coming here for years. She loves her seafood - and says this is THE BEST in town. What I do remember: The mussels - normally I don't like mussels - these were very good. Steamed with just a few flavorings, and simply served in their shells on a white plate. These really tiny white worm-like things were also good. served in a bowl in a garlicky sauce (went great with the bread!). We also shared a whole fish (again, no clue as to what kind) that was served atop a perfectly cooked bed of potatoes. Eating at Xaco was a real treat, and if offered again, I'd say yes.

We had an outstanding meal at L'Arcada. My son ordered the prix fixe menu with the seafood starter…read moreand grilled lobster, and he said it was the best seafood he's ever had - fresh, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. He also devoured the strawberry cream cake with a ladyfinger crust. I had the seafood tagliatelle, which was easily the best pasta I've had in Spain. My mom ordered the fish stew (without potatoes), the stew had a huge variety of large fish pieces. The service was outstanding, and they were incredibly accommodating to English-speaking guests. The ambiance was spectacular, it felt like you were in a cave. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. Highly recommend!

Shockingly they don't take American Express and there was no way to know it in advance. A restaurant that doesn't take American Express doesn't want well traveled clientele. I will not return.
