This was probably the worst service experience that I had in Spain, and the only time that someone was able to draw an attitude out of me. Not wanting to stray far from our hotel or the beach, we had decided to stop at this restaurant/bar, which seemed the perfect place to get a drink and some food; if I had been wise enough to read some of the reviews before I had stopped in I definitely would have looked elsewhere.
After just taking a few sips of our drinks, the waitress--who hadn't been friendly in the first place--dropped the check and I almost had to drag her back to tell her that we were ordering food; and although I could be wrong and completely out of line in saying this, I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't been speaking in Spanish she would have been out and out rude. We ordered their 'specialty'--valencian paella--and their fish of the day. The paella was good, not great, but very stingy on the meat, which was only two little chicken wings that were overcooked; however, the rice was cooked well and was flavorful so we were happy. The fish, which was pan-fried in a very flavorful garlic oil and served with fries and a salad of some kind, was actually very good, and we both really enjoyed that. I do think it's worth noting, though, that the server never once checked on us or offered us another drink, but again just came by and dropped the check. She came by later and told us she was leaving and needed us to pay the bill, and normally I would feel bad for the way that I treated her after that point--which I would prefer not to mention because it wasn't my proudest moment--but even after a few days have passed I haven't felt guilty about it in the least. I was perfectly fine staying and ordering more drinks from a different person, but my friend was no longer comfortable being there and wanted to leave.
So, in the end, I would say that it isn't a bad place; the food was good, the drinks were good, and I actually didn't particularly think that the drinks were that expensive but on par with some of the other places that I had gone, so in that respect I do not fully agree with some of the other reviews. I would, however, like to note that I thought the food was very reasonably priced. That said, the service was bad, and that's a pretty big part of any dining/drinking experience. With so many other places around, I would say it isn't really worth coming here. read more
