O' Sampaio — Restaurant in A Coruña

TLDR: I wouldn't eat there again. Service is far away from being organized and pretty chaotic. The food was partially OK, the fried food tastet like they hadn't changed the oil in days or fried everything from the day in the same. The restaurant was full when we arrived and asked for a table, we were told that we had to wait 30 min so we continued. A couple of meters down the road I looked back and saw other guests asking for a table and being seated right away, so I went back and asked again and was also given a tablet right away.
