    We ate there the other day and they have a great variety of dishes. We ordered sea bass and it was delicious. The staff who served us were very friendly and attentive, and the best part was that parking was very easy. We will definitely be back.

    Repetiría mil veces, ambiente increíble, comida exquisita (destacando las almejas y la paella). Los profesionales super atentos. También para acabar la tarde/noche destaco el atardecer en la terraza frente al mar con un buen coctel, ambientazo y buena música.

    The location and beachfront atmosphere are beautiful, and the restaurant has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. The spaghetti was extremely oily, which completely affected the taste. The soft drink was also disappointing—it was served already poured into a glass and had almost no carbonation, tasting more like syrup than a fresh fizzy drink. The biggest issue was the strong unpleasant smell coming from the muddy area next to the restaurant. Throughout the meal there was a constant swamp/sewage-like odour, making it difficult to enjoy the food. The staff member who took our order seemed stressed and rushed us while ordering, which made the experience feel uncomfortable rather than welcoming. It’s a lovely location, but the food quality, drink quality, service, and the unpleasant smell seriously need improvement.
