This husband wife team just tells you the specials. He tried to pantomime some methods of cooking and ingredients. He was trying so hard. It will be a good memory. Below is what we got when we ordered our one word meal. Wife - pork. Me - fish. My dish was scrambled eggs zucchini and cod (I think). Traditional from what I can gather. It was very good and yet something I would have never put together. Wife had a chunk of pork loin that was pressed onto a griddle or cast iron pan. The crust on it was great. I'm betting the pig was local too, very tasty. The bread was fresh very good. Wine was very good. Venjeo. The whole meal with a bottle of vino and terrace seating. $34 euro. I went inside to pay and the guy has won some cooking trophy's. Lots of locals showed up around 9 pm.

Not a huge place but then again it doesn't need to be. You don't need to hang out for forever and eat oysters you can kind of slurp them down and bolt.

So this was a perfect little appetizer for dinner. Since dinner is usually served at 9pm this was perfect to curve my appetite. They have oysters from france, portugal, and iranaia. I have never had oysters from those waters so I needed to try it. And I am glad I did. The gentleman at the counter did speak english so I was able to tell him how I like my oysters. I told him I usually like them briney but didn't mind trying some sweet ones. He came out with my flight of oysters and labeled them so I knew which were which. He told me to try them from most sweet to briney. I ended up liking the sweet one better. My favortie was the regal irania! I ordered 2 more after I finished my flight.

Michelin Star Rated Seafood:…read more Been traveling all over Spain and this is the first place in 7 days that actually knows what spices are and EXACTLY how to use them. The food is excellent, the service was welcoming (I believe the owner even helped us out), and the whole restaurant was calm with relaxing ambiance. 10/10 would go again and will recommend to all I can. Probably will have dinner again here every night until I leave in a week. A little pricey, but definitely not skimpy in any of the portion sizes. I recommend the soup starter, the prawns or clams as a main, and the rice pudding or Valencia to end. (Get a bottle of Santiago if you can too.)

I was looking for a place with a good fish soup and my hotel recommended this place. I went in with…read moreno reservations and got a table right away. The restaurant has a few tables and many were empty. The waitress an older lady brings me the menu and I ordered water because I was taking an antibiotic. When she takes my order I told her I would like the soup only and dessert possibly coffee. This lady started lecturing me that I can't come to this restaurant and only order soup, that she had to work and ordering just soup was not done that it's common sense that you just can't order soup. The menu was à la carte. It was not a pre-fixed three course menu it was à la carte. I told her I didn't know but she really upset me. She made me feel like a child and I'm a 60 year-old woman that has traveled the world people like her should not be dealing with customers,that said the soup was good. Didn't have a lot of fish, but it was good. The ambience was good with white tablecloths, but the service that this lady gave me will never be forgotten because I have never been treated so poorly she raised her voice at me like if I was a child for that reason I do not recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant provides bread and a little tapas (or pintxos) to get you started. This was fresh crusty bread with a soft fluffy center and a small place of sausages. Sidre is the drink to order! I think a whole large (wine bottle size) bottle is only 8€. It's fun to watch it being poured from a height by your server to aerate the beverage for enhanced flavor. It's like apple juice but tart, sour, and so refreshing. The salad of butter lettuce and thinly sliced sweet onions with olive oil and vinegar was perfection. It was so fresh and the dressing was perfect. The main course, the T-bone steak for two was sheer excellence! The steak came on a sizzling platter and was served with potato frites, perfectly simple but delicious! The steak platter continued to sizzle throughout lunch, so the precut steak pieces could be seared or cooked longer if that was desired. The meat is served medium-rare automatically, so the sizzling stone allows you to adjust the cooking of the steak after its served. This was by far the best meal I had in all of Spain. After dinner the server brought over pacharrán shots, an herbal plum-based after dinner aperitif to help with digestion. It's served in frosted shot glasses. We had one and thanked him for it, then maybe we had one more. What a way to end a great meal-with a buzz. This place is a little pricey, but very much worth it. So glad we came here and dined. It's looks humble but the food is the star of the show here!
