Being My Birthday and Last Night In Malaga What A Let Down !!!! The restaurant was Empty One other Table Seated .Guess That Says All .

Chose this restaurant for good choice of dishes on the final night of a family short break. The food, when it arrived, was good BUT the service was appalling. The champagne we ordered was room temp and put in a bucket with half a dozen ice cubes. Begrudgingly we were given more ice. The starters arrived almost all together. Of the 5 main courses ordered only one arrived and bizarrely the fries to go with the ribs. On enquiring were told that the order for the other 4 dishes had not been put through. Nearly 90 minutes after arriving they produced 2 rib dishes, one shrimp carpaccio and a cod dish (at €22) that was just about big enough to be a starter. We would have had no idea except the only dish delivered originally was also the cod and was a very good portion. We opted to cancel this main course and the ribs were shared out. The cold fries were taken away and fresh ones delivered. They then tried to charge for all 4 portions. The final insult was what I can only imagine was some sort of compensation - 2 free bottles of water worth €5. At the end the food we had, which was good did not compensate for the chaotic and incompetent service we received and somewhat marred our final evening in Malaga. Best avoided would be my...

Cute location but so subpar in every other regard. The service left so much to be desired that I actually missed tipping because at least the servers would be motivated to represent a bare minimum level of efficiency.

We tried ordering everything, aka a 2 person order, due to the delay in service, and the waitress, Bianca, rudely told us only drinks (two waters lol) were able to be ordered at first…. Lol, girl… Another 15 minutes went by before we decided to flag someone down to order food since it became apparent no one was going to check in.

Patatas bravas tasted and looked like french fries with ketchup and were truly the worst we’ve ever had in Spain, which is saying something because my friend is obsessed with it and orders it at every restaurant we’ve visited within a month’s worth of time. Calamari was tasty, but the paella was completely lackluster in flavor, which was ironically the reason why we came here.

Again, location is very cute, but the experience was difficult to enjoy in multiple regards. We regretted coming here and wished we had taken the time to explore other options. Please do yourself a favor and don’t follow in our footsteps...
