What a sad experience at our 18th anniversary. I have absolutely no idea why they have a Michelin plate at the entrance. At 18:30h we entered the loocompletely empty restaurant. Early for Spaniards but perfect for us for not eating so late and becoming fat. A real menu is not available, you have to scan a QR code on your phone. Thankfully we had our smartphone with us and so we sat there looking on our small screens to find out what we like to eat. The waitress, who didn´t speak a word English, asked what we want to drink. We had no idea because we would have to open the "wine page" on our phone and were afraid not to find back to the food page. The waitress said "ok", left and was never seen again. After a while we found what we wanted to eat and waited for the staff. And waited and waited and waited. Slowly I became angry and went through the empty place to find some staff to order. After a while I found someone and he promised to come soon as possible - what were another 5 minutes. He also didn´t speak a single word of English (don´t Spaniards never learn English at school like Dutch, Germans, Austrians, Swedes and so on?), so my wife opened the Spanish menu on her phone, I the German on my phone and then we counted the dishes from above which we want to order "starter 7, 9 and 12" plus the main dishes 18 and 26 (something like that). To write a number in the menu in front of the different dish would make it much easier. In the drink menu they only have "beer". So I had to ask which beer. "Cruzcampo" was the answer. That´s the beer you get literally everywhere. Even in supermarkets they sell it in 1 liter bottles. Not very interesting. But ok, it´s a good beer, so I ordered it. A few moments later the waiter arrived with a half full glass... I really wonder that a "Michelin" restaurant only has paper tissues and the perhaps cheapest cutlery available on the market. After a while the starters arrived. 2 of them. They were not very good and not bad - average. I didn´t felt a shrimp taste in the shrimp croquetas. Then the main dishes arrived. I asked about the third ordered starter - they forgot. The tuna dish of my wife was very tasty she said. My lamp shanks were very thin and overcooked. Thankfully my wife´s dish had a lot of sauce that I could use so the meat was not so dry anymore. My glass was empty but no staff even came close to us that I had the chance to order (and also nobody came to ask if we are satisfied or need something), so I drunk my wife´s mineral water. Finally someone came to ask if we like to have a coffee. I denied and asked for the bill what arrived very quick. Without a word. I put my money on the plaid and the waiter picked it up a few moments later. Without a word. But hey, when he brought the change he finally said "muchas gracias". When we left I saw at the outside of the still nearly empty restaurant were a lot of staff standing around. The whole team had time to pamper every single customer and give him a good feeling, but no. We left without hearing a "bueonos" or "adios".

The food here is some of the most memorable we had in southern Spain. The tuna belly and the tempura octopus were succulent and beautifully presented. Go for the food. The service however was terrible. I stood in the doorway for over 10 minutes while staff walked around me as though I was invisible, and was finally told the online booking had not been confirmed. As the place was practically empty the waiter deigned to seat us. There is only a QR code to access the menu - how hard is it to have a few paper menus? And the toilets were also paper-less and not clean. Having read the responses to other not-5star reviews, I’m still going to post this because the kitchen staff deserve better - they’re being let down by the front of house staff.

Had a high expectation in this place since it has michelin, Instead we had the worst service ever. First we order the king prawn but they brought out shrimp because they didn't informed us that its not available. When i told one of the waiter that they didnt gave us king prawn, He said they're just the same .. clearly he didnt know the differences and then when we ask to change the plate. This waiter just stack 2 plates and said when the other one is done just change the plate ... very unprofessional and when they noticed were not enjoying the meal, they told us that they will take the shrimp out in the bill. But they didnt, I hope they improve how they treat their clients in the future. Because this ruined our last meal here in jerez.

Saw it was a Michelin Star restaurant and thought we would give it a go. Got seen too straight away to order drinks and they came fairly quickly. Menu is available through a QR Code on menu. Waited a little longer for ordering food but it wasn’t a problem. I ordered the roast chicken croquettes which was lovely and then for my main I had scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and Iberian ham. Tasted absolutely gorgeous, presented to beautifully and overall our meal was great value for money. Would definitely recommend and return!

We really enjoyed the food. It was excellent. Croquettes with shrimp, spinach and pistachio were superb as well as anchovies with tomato-mango salsa. The seafood were fresh and didn’t bath in olive oil. The deserts were amazing, especially - three ways to taste chocolate. The coffee isn’t really good. Minus for charging us for a bread that we didn’t even touch. There were some scammers outside tried to get money from the guests and sadly staff haven’t done anything. Anyway it’s worth to visit.

We enjoyed the food and outdoor seating. We were constantly being aproached by people begging for money, though. The rice with vegetables and shrimp was great, and so were the shrimp, spinach, and pistachio croquettes. The olives they bring you with any order are also outstanding. The ensaladilla was only okay, but the patatas aliñadas and the tomates aliñadas were excellent. We liked the salmon and jamón bruschetta too. We liked this place enough that we went twice when we were in Jerez.
