Bar Restaurante Esther — Restaurant in La Aldea de San Nicolás

Would leave 0 stars if I could. It is a fantastic location and being at a port thought we would try the fish. I ordered “fresh fish from the port” but the fish was never specified on the menu and I was never told what fish it was by the waitress. Turned up with the heads still on etc 🤢 couldn’t eat it without also eating loads of bones. Prefer my fish deboned etc but was never given the option. We were given bread with no butter whilst we waited. Looked around at the other tables and they weren’t given any butter either so I didn’t say anything. Whilst eating we were swarmed by 30 flies. I appreciate they can’t do much but we didn’t have this problem anywhere else we ate on our week long stay. It was gross 🤢 flies landing on fish eyes on your plate 🤢🤢 the fish didn’t taste great and 10mins later on the drive home I had a bad belly. UK reviewer - do not be persuaded by the lovely location. Avoid...

Stopped for lunch today and delighted we did. Had fried cheese with blueberry jam, octopus and Canarian potatoes and prawns in garlic with bread alioli water and a soda. Total came to €38 which was very good for what we got. Staff most pleasant and location next to the sea was excellent. It was really windy which apparently is normal but the eating area was well sheltered but still had views....

Un lugar donde no volver. Pedimos la comida y vinieron 4 o 5 veces a decirnos que no les quedaba lo que habiamos pedido, bastante tiempo despues de haberlo pedido. Los platos no salieron como los pedimos y a 2 de las personas que venian conmigo (eramos 13) no les salió nunca su plato de comida. En cuanto al servicio, el pobre camarero que nos comandaba ya no sabía ni donde meterse debido a la verguenza que supongo estaria pasando, a pesar de todo fue amable. El resto, practicamente gente a la que se ve que le falta mucha experiencia, ademas de un poco de cordialidad (al menos a quienes atendieron nuestra mesa). Para colmo a la chica que nos cobra se lo decimos y como que ni caso, quejate que te voy a cobrar lo mismo... Al final me dio la sensacion de estar comiendo en un sitio llevado por gente sin experiencia alguna y encima teniendo que pagar por ello, hasta los refrescos de las dos chicas que estuvieron sentadas mas de 1 hora sin que les trajeran sus platos les cobraron, poca verguenza. Los calamares estaban buenos en cuanto a sabor pero en cuanto a precio y cantidad nada...
