    My friend and I visited this restaurant/gastrobar during semana santa when we were staying at an…read moreairbnb nearby. The streets were crowded and El apartamento seemed like a nice place for a meal. We arrived at 8:45 pm and were seated immediately. The menu had a lot of vegetarian options that sounded good - I went for the pumpkin bao buns and my friend the tofu burger. We decided to share the veggie croquettes. The croquettes arrived in less than five minutes. They were possibly the most boring vegetable croquettes I've ever had. My bao buns arrived 30 minutes later in a pretentious steamer basket. It was literally a few pieces of plain grilled (unseasoned) pumpkin in a seriously overcooked bao bun topped with blanched almonds. Completely flavorless and inedible. I took a bite and my friend took a bite and that was it. Horrible. Meanwhile, we were still waiting for the tofu burger. We waited for another half an hour before it arrived. The burger was edible but it was clearly a store-bought patty. The fries were good. The servers seemed confused and stressed, despite the place only being half full. Everything was SO slow and we just wanted to leave. The bill was about 25 euros. Way too expensive for terrible food and no drinks. In short: horrible food and bad service. We will never return to this place and actively encourage no one to visit. Mi amigo y yo visitamos este restaurante / gastrobar durante la semana santa cuando nos alojábamos en un airbnb cerca. Las calles estaban abarrotadas y El apartamento parecía un buen lugar para comer. Llegamos a las 8:45 pm y nos sentamos inmediatamente. El menú tenía muchas opciones vegetarianas que sonaban bien, fui por los bollos bao calabaza y mi amigo la hamburguesa de tofu. Decidimos compartir las croquetas de vegetales. Las croquetas llegaron en menos de cinco minutos. Posiblemente fueron las croquetas vegetales más aburridas que he tenido. Mis bollos bao calabaza llegaron 30 minutos más tarde en una canasta de vapor pretencioso. Fue literalmente un par de piezas de calabaza a la parrilla (sin fermentar) en un pan bao seriamente recocido cubierto con almendras blanqueadas. Completamente sin sabor y no comestible. Tomé un bocado y mi amigo tomó un bocado y eso fue todo. Horrible. Mientras tanto, estábamos esperando la hamburguesa de tofu. Esperamos media hora más antes de que llegara. La hamburguesa era comestible, pero era claramente una hamburguesa comprada en la tienda. Las papas fritas estaban buenas. Los servidores parecían confundidos y estresados, a pesar de que el lugar solo estaba medio lleno. Todo fue muy lento y solo queríamos salir. La factura fue de unos 25 euros. Demasiado caro para comida terrible y sin bebidas. En resumen: comida horrible y mal servicio. Nunca volveremos a este lugar y alentaremos activamente a nadie a que visite.

    El Epartamento is really nice inside. I really like the funky decorations inside…read more We came here with a group. I shared a caesars salad with someone else. They loved the salad, I hated it. The dressing was very funky. Too eggy like it's just about to turn into mayo. I would like to come back and try something else. Everyone loved their food. It's definitely made for the Spanish, as someone ordered an alioli pasta. That's just gross. The spanish love their mayo! Yuk! The prices are very reasonable! Glass of wine is 2 euros. Not bad at all!

    Anna, the bartender at Claddagh Irish Pub in Marbella, turned me on to this new Spanish restaurant…read morejust around the corner. She told me that they had good, authentic Andalucian cuisine, excellent wines, and reasonable prices and she was absolutely right! There was what I would call a "Mariachi" group on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant strumming four guitars and singing familiar songs I have heard many times in Mexican restaurants in California and Texas. I was told that they are called "Tunos" in Spain, but these four gentlemen were much more talented than any Mariachi group I have ever heard. The guitars and voices were melodically synchronized, rendering four part harmonies unrivaled by some of the best barber shop quartets I have heard. They performed non-stop from 9:30pm until nearly 11:30pm when I finally left for my room and they were superb. The waiter spoke English reasonably well, suggesting wines, starters, and a main course. Nothing I ordered was on the menu. He first brought me a glass of Tempranillo, a dark, robust Spanish red wine with hints of oak along with a "tortilla". Not the Mexican variety tortilla we expect in stateside restaurants and supermarkets, a tortilla in Spain is an omelette made with eggs and potatoes, resembling a very thick piece of quiche the size of a slice of pie. The tortilla de patatas (€2.50), two slices actually, were light yet savory and delicious. Anna had recommended the Gambas al Pil Pil (€9), an Andalucian specialty with prawns baked in a sauce of olive oil, garlic, and chili peppers accompanied by fresh bread for dipping. The ceramic dish came to me still bubbling with 12 small shrimp, slices of garlic, and a few diced red chili peppers. The fresh sliced baguette easily soaked up the decadent garlic infused oil, raising my cholesterol level by several hundred points. I have to admit that this was one of the best dishes I have had in quite a while. The service was impeccable, attentive and friendly, always there when needed but not suffocating. I had no idea how much the check would be when it arrived and when it did, I was shocked! Just €16.10 (less than $18) for three glasses of wonderful wine, s starter and a main course, while enjoying excellent, traditional Spanish melodies - what more could I ask for? Unfortunately, my wife was unable to accompany me on this trip, but even still, this was one of the most enjoyable, affordable dining experiences I have had in quite a while and I will return before leaving Marbella ... sorry honey! I always hesitate before giving the maximum score to any establishment, but I honestly could not find a fault to deduct even a single "bomb", hence ...
