Been visiting here since it opened. Today was my last visit. Was seated quickly then a table of 3 had their drinks and food ordered before me. My fresh orange had insects in. It was replaced. The shrimp and mango salad was supposed to be a main. It was starter size. The shrimp was tasty but dry. I sat for an hour with no one asking if my food was OK or if I needed anything else. I tried to ask for the bill when a waiter moved my condiments to another table. I pushed my glass and remains of dressing to the edge of the table in the hope that one of the 5 members on duty might notice me. My side dressing dish was removed swiftly but without a chance to interact. After an hour I managed to get my bill. I've never left a restaurant without either giving a tip or explaining why I didn't tip. I get that by the end of the season everyone is frazzled. But some customers just sat there with one drink and got lots of attention. I will not waste my time or money being treated like that. They might be able to make a living being arrogant but good...

Myself and my partner visited here earlier today for lunch whilst we were at the beach. Needless to say we had an awful experience - whilst looking at the menu it was very overpriced, €18 for a ‘salad’ which consisted of mozzarella, tomato & lettuce.. regardless we didn’t bother much about the price as we concurred the quality of food would be on par. It started to go downhill when I noticed a fly in my water. Aside from this my partner had the grilled chicken with chips and I had fried squid. There was a wait for the food - again not a problem if it’s worth waiting for. Upon being served - neither of our food was ‘hot’ - the chicken had been boiled and was so chewy to the point my partner left one of the breasts. Unfortunately my squid was inedible- it was not fried and had the most awful after taste. No one checked on us during our meal and we decided to just pay the bill and leave - still no one asked if we enjoyed our meal. Needless to say I would not recommend...
