Very friendly staff, the food took quite a bit of time to come so we order more bread with Ali-oil which was delicious.

It is only a small restaurant, but it has very good choice o fish and seafood. Try the Pardo - a really tasty fish! The wine-menu is also quite interesting.

It's not cheap, definitively, but waiters will help you to get the best choice of the day. Gambas de Garrucha (typical local red prawns) on the top of the list, despite a portion might cost you 50€. If you decide for other local restaurant, maybe you spend less, and MAYBE you can have "fresh" fish....

From arriving to leaving I cannot give this restaurant high enough praise. We arrived earlier than…read morethe rest of our party so sat at the bar for a drink. The barman asked for our order and mine was a dry vodka martini , why change the habit of a lifetime lol. After a few minutes he came over with an iced martini glass, a bottle of vodka and a bottle of vermouth. Smiling, he said ' 50/50?' My reply '90/10'. A great guy that started a wonderful evening. When the remainder of our party arrived we were shown to our table, outside on the patio overlooking the sea. What could make this idyllic situation better. The food. There was a mixture of orders around the table and everyone was in awe of the standard of cuisine. My mussels were totally delicious. A fantastic restaurant with good food, excellent service with a friendly attitude. We loved the place and, if we are back in the area, will be revisiting.

Amazing Service and Food! Like amazing…read more The Tuna Carpaccio is on my top 5 best things I ever ate list. Extensive wine list. Beautiful decor. Sadly, I had to knock off a star because the night I dined here, 9 September there was a feral child running amok. The staff seemed to not just allow, but encourage this. I witnessed many occasions where servers almost tripped over here which would have ruined many beautiful plates of food. I don't fault the child after all. She seemed to belong to a couple sitting in a corner being highly attended to. I don't know who they were, but they looked like they were trying to be instagram famous. They had no issue ignoring their child for an entire evening while she ran around disturbing everyone there. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but this place is very expensive. The food and service are worth it. But if I am spending that kind of money, I would like for my experience to be child free. If there are children there, that is fine but they should stay at their table and be taught by their parents how to behave. if that is not possible, then the staff should take action for the sake of other diners.

Sitting here on a winter day with the sun warming and looking out over the harbor makes it extra memorable. With the excellent food and service it gets fantastic. We ordered fresh whole San Pedeo fish (they bring out all of today's fish for you to view) and they grilled the body and fried the head. Making it two meals in one.

I was alone and the waitress suggested a small salad that was not on the menu to complete the meal. The house wine was good and a tiramisu casero was excellent. The only small complaint is that the restaurant was busy and could have used more waitstaff.
