The male waiters were polite and hospitable and sat us down in the middle of the restaurant. When you first walk in it looks like a bar with people sat outside drinking and it looked different to the photos that are shown in the photos online (which is the back part of the restaurant). The music was really loud and aweful and where we were sat it was hot near the kitchen, a simple fan would have helped. We ordered our food and the male waiter was friendly and polite he asked if we wanted bread and olives so we said yes, this was brought to us quickly, but a female waitress brought our main food to us. Our baby had been screaming because it was so hot and he couldn't sleep because the music was crazy loud. We asked the female waitress if we could move to a different spot where we could get a breeze, she was so unhelpful with an attitude and told us no. There were tables free that she could have moved us to but she simply didn't care less. The food was all brought at different times and it was put on the table with no explanation of what was what and it was so basic, not cooked badly but lacked any inspiration and flavour. I could have thrown it together better and I'm not a chef. I ended up having to rush my food and go outside with my baby and my partner still didn't have his food. At the end of the overpriced meal, we see that we were charged for the bread and olives. We don't mind paying if we asked for it but we were led to believe it was complimentary. All in all a disappointing experience especially considering that it has...

We decided to try this place after seeing the good reviews, but unfortunately we were very disappointed.

The service was okay, but the food had little to no flavor. We ordered a pork stew, cod, chevre sandwich, potatoes and vegetables.

The cod tasted like it had been defrosted rather than freshly prepared, and the quality was very poor. It was full of bones, which would have been fine if the fish itself hadn’t been so dry – we couldn’t finish it. The vegetables were soggy and unappetizing. The stew was decent, but honestly it’s something we could have made better at home. The chevre sandwich was fine.

We were served bread, olives and cheese before the meal, which was a nice touch, though in hindsight we suspect we may have been charged for it even though we hadn’t asked (as other reviews have also mentioned). The interior was ok inside.

Overall, a very disappointing experience – sadly, we would not recommend this restaurant. We payed 60 euros in total including two glasses of wine and...
