MC Beach — Restaurant in Marbella

I had high expectations for this restaurant, but unfortunately, our experience was far from acceptable. I arrived on time for our reservation (a table for five) and was the first to get there. Despite waiting for around 10 minutes, no one approached me—not even to offer a drink. I had to ask for the menu myself.

When the rest of the group arrived, they were also not given menus, and after another 15 minutes, the waiter came to ask if we were ready to order. At that point, we still hadn’t received menus.

The food service was extremely slow. The appetizer arrived late, and the clams were served cold, which I had to return. The gap between the appetizer and the main course was over 30 minutes. When I asked about the delay, the waiter blamed it on an issue with their internet — a completely unreasonable excuse for such poor service.

The main courses were no better. The paella was undercooked, despite me specifically requesting it well done for that crispy base. The shrimp was served below medium—almost raw—and was inedible. The padrón peppers were extremely spicy across the board, which is highly unusual for this dish.

To top it off, we paid €495 for five people, without any major alcoholic drinks — an excessive price for such a disappointing experience. I shared my concerns with the staff, but no one from management approached us to follow up, apologize, or even offer a simple gesture like dessert — something you’d expect from any fine dining restaurant trying to recover a poor experience.

Overall, the lack of attention, slow service, poor food quality, and indifference from the staff made this visit deeply disappointing. My...

didn’t really like it. i made a reservation at 4:45, i was 10 minutes late due to traffic, i called and let them know that i’m still coming and they said that it was okay. i arrived at 4:55 and they told me that the kitchen has closed and they’re only serving salads and sushi, when they didn’t even inform me that when i made the reservation. but when we arrived and told them that you didn’t even tell us that the kitchen closes at 5 they talked to the chef and he considered giving us a table with main dishes which was good. the paella was so salty, and the appetizers were Ok. the...

Ok.. so I usually go next door to puente romano.. (I have stayed at marbella club hotel around 10 years ago).. so we booked MC beach.. and yes, a refreshing experience.. staff were friendly and all the food we ordered got eaten.. so there's a plus also.. the blue and white decor set the mood for this place as soon as you enter.. good vybes.. must have spent around 3 hours here.. and enjoyed every minute.. we was with our child too and he seemed very much to enjoy also!
