Mesón El Cid — Restaurant in Lloret de Mar

Absolutely terrible service. I walked up to the bar, clearly and politely asked for an Amstel and a Cruzcampo. The server didn’t speak English — which is fine — but instead of trying to understand, clarify, or even acknowledge me, she just shook her head, visibly huffed, and started serving people who arrived after me.

This place deserves more...

I process an AirBnB in Lloret and I try different bars to advise my customers, we've just been to this place though we weren't keen on it in a first place. Well now we know why we had that impression : food isn't nice at all, the owner isn't made for this job, WiFi is inexistant and you are told to stay out if you have a little dog with you. Worst ever, so we went across the street and it was a relief...
