Casa Manolo — Restaurant in La Oliva

Was really looking forward to having a wonderful meal here , read good reviews and was told that this restaurant was good. Well what a big dissapoint. We arrived at 9.30 to be seated ordered wine a beer and some water, was at first served these promptly. We then ordered the fish croquettes for a sharing starter, 45 mins later no sign of the starter, no one came to our table in the corner , so I asked the waiter and they had forgotten about them! They arrived 10 minutes later and they were not good at all, could not taste any fish in them and in the middle they were cold. I politely spoke with the waitress about this and she was adament they were not frozen ( I never even mentioned frozen to her) we continued to eat our main courses my prawn kebab was ok, my partners cod galatian was tough and no taste to out what do ever. We were in the restaurant around 1 hour and 40 minutes and we're never asked if the mains were ok or even if we wanted any more drinks. Really shame about our experience here. We won't...

Found this restaurant by chance while strolling around Corralejo. The menu looked very interesting so we made a booking (recommended by the way!). We arrived as planned, to a very warm welcome from the family that own/run it. WOW!!! Everything from start to finish was amazing!! Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic friendly staff, and the most amazing food!! We (2 of us) shared mussels in half shell, and a goats cheese and tomato salad. The main courses were lamb cutlets, and baked goat, with assorted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Absolutely out of this world!! The atmosphere was cosy and warming, the staff were very attentive and friendly and chatty when possible. If you happen to get the chance, then visit this restaurant, I would highly recommend it, and you won't be disappointed!! 10/10 from me, The best evening of our holiday!! 😁👍👍 Oh by the way, we finished off with an Irish coffee and a 'Special' brandy!! Get it on your radar, definitely one not...

We were staying quite close to the restaurant and noticed it was always busy when walking by. I happened to walk by as the dad was entering the restaurant in the afternoon so decided to book. Managed to get a table for the following evening. So glad I did. My partner and I had a lovely evening. The food was amazing and the service from the brother and sister team was top notch. After speaking with other guests who are regulars, we learned the dad is semi retired and after speaking with the waiter, he said mum is still in the kitchen preparing all the delicious meals on offer. Our reservation was at 6:30 and we didn’t leave until near 10. Not because the service was slow, not the case at all. Just that we felt so relaxed and comfortable, enjoying our drinks as we digested our lovely food. We will be back for sure and it will definitely be one of our regular go to restaurants during our stays...
