Not in the habit of giving low scores. I do my research in advance. But this was a bit of a disappointment. Having been sold to us as the “grande dame” of Cadiz, we were excited to have a traditional meal but elevated and refined. The dining rooms are elegant but very traditional - as expected. Service was friendly and warm. We had high hopes based on first bites: the toast with anchovies and the tortillita of tiny shrimp, as well as their “famous” sea urchin filled with prawns and a refreshing lemon foam. Wine list was well selected and good values were able to be found The problem was with the main courses: they were terrible. And being the most expensive plates, the least value. The seafood rice was tired, dried out, and lifeless. The seafood within perfunctory and overcooked. 23€. The loin of tuna - in a place world famous for tuna - was 7 (I counted) small morsels of cut up tuna with 3-4 sad potatoes and a few out of the jar pickled peppers. For 24€. So - I give the experience overall a 3 star rating and ask of the restaurant: consider the value of what you are serving when - even as a famed restaurant- you are surrounded by old school traditional tabernas slinging plates and plates of deliciousness at great prices. Other than a pretty room, what is the value proposition you offer? Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes - but in a restaurant like this there should be no wrong dishes.
