Restaurant Xaloc — Restaurant in Lloret de Mar

Tried this spot while visiting Cal Fenals. Not the best view (I was looking at parked cars in the lot) but they do fish well.

Besides, I have ordered a medium-rare steak and got a rubber one (well done, but even extra). After a little arguing, I got a new one, and yes it was delicious, but my evening at that point was pretty much ruined. All in all, a restaurant has to have a combination of good food and service, and Xaloc may have great food, but it’s service is absolutely horrific (especially for the...
