Cafe la Bahía — Restaurant in Adeje

I don't often write reviews, but the poor quality of our entire experience at Cafe la Bahía was so severe I felt compelled, nay, obligated for the sake of others to write a review scathing pretty much every aspect of this establishment. The shame of it is that the location is perfect: the beach front, the esplanade, the sun and light breeze - as someone who has worked in hospitality for a long (long) time, I would kill to own such a restaurant! Unfortunately this is marred by the horrific waiting times (we were seated quite promptly however there were many occasions passing by the place that we saw large queues of people waiting to be seated, as is true for the time - and will be only time - we actually ate). The service was quite frankly shocking. There was only one waitress seeming to be taking orders. Upon finally having our order taken, it took nearly 15 minutes for a smoothie and some sparkling water. You can't really muck up the latter, but the former, for the price, was a tad on the tiny side. Another 15 minutes later and the food appeared. I went with a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, my partner the Cuban sandwich. I must say, I've never before had a sandwich which had me delving into existentialist thought as, well, despite the salmon being indeed smoked, the sandwich had then been toasted, cooking said salmon and ruining the delicate complexity of flavour imbued during the smoking process. The amount of filling was pitiful - a thin slither salmon and not even a complete smear of cream cheese. The bread was your average sandwich 'Bimbo'-style stoge. At least the french fries were decent. My partner's 'Cuban' sandwich was not at all a Cubano. It was a sad little baguette with a rather ungenrous amount of thinly slice pork on it. After leaving most of the food, we sat to wait for the plates to be taken away and pay the bill - which if I had an exact amount of time it took, I'd have given you it, however I have managed to write this entire review (along with checking for grammatical error) in the time in between deciding I'd had enough and the bill coming! They don't seem to have an issue seating additional people, however... I also doubt the staff would've even noticed if we ran off without paying, however, it's my final full day of my holiday and don't fancy spending the evening in a Spanish jail cell. It is apparent that the place suffers from acute understaffing and a kitchen which fundamentally misunderstands food. I am beyond disappointed. If you're the owner of this establishment and are reading this, I beg you address these issues as this place has such potential to be one of the finest eateries on the...

Worms in the salad. Bad managers response. Yesterday at 1 o’clock for lunch we decided to eat at this place and took a Caesar salad and a hamburger. After my wife ate half of the salad she found a worm and by digging she found a lot of them and one quiet big, quiet an unpleasant situation. Because it is possible to find worms in a salad we just asked to retake the plat to the kitchen and saying that we didn’t want something else, the waiter apologised and was very nice about it. And now comes the real PROBLEM, a female manager (dressed in green) came back with the salad and asked us where are the worms in a rude way. By just looking at the plate they already took out some salad and lucky for us there was still a worm, after showing it she replied :”but it’s a small one, it’s still edible”, took out the salad and left. In the end we didn’t pay for the salad or the hamburger and were offered coffees and a huge apology by the waiter. The 1 star is for the manager who came back with the salad that had removed some leaves and implied that we were lying because she didn’t...

I don't usually write reviews, but this time I feel obligated to. I don't even know where to begin, to be honest. The table was wobbly, and the waiter told us that's how it was supposed to be. We had to grab a napkin and fold it to put it under. While we were ordering, before we'd even finished, the waitress blurted out, "Please, no?"... obviously, we'd say that, but only after we'd finished ordering. Well, that wasn't a problem, but the last straw came when we ordered a portion of calamari and asked for a lemon to put on it. A normal order, as always. But they brought us ONE WHOLE LEMON, uncut. When we mentioned it to the waiter, he replied, "You have a knife on the table." Honestly, that was just plain insulting. It was a terrible experience; if it weren't for the fact that I was with my friends sharing the table, I would have gotten up and left without looking back. Awful. I don't...
