“not worth its money nor its reputation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2012

we had great expectations for this restaurant as it has quite a reputation. As a starter we shared an 'ensalada con ventresca' (12 euros), which was good. Then we had a paella de marisco for 2.(36 euros). The rice was good, bud the seafood was missing... : only 2 small gambas and 2 cigalas (of which one was nearly empty)... More

“Not all its cracked up to be!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

We were really looking forward to the seafood here but were disappointed. The attention to locals and regulars left us feeling a bit out of place but that could have been overlooked if the food had been as wonderful as we was hoping. Sadly it was bland and overpriced for what we had. We have eaten in some wonderful restaurants... More

“The real Spanish deal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2011

We were at this restaurant last week for lunch on a Friday. There were 10 of us on a long table at the front of the restaurant. The place was full of Spanish people and lot of business types - a good sign. The food didn't fail to impress - it was the real Spanish deal. Lots of little courses,... More
