Restaurante Casa Sebastián — Restaurant in Níjar

Casa Sebastian was highly recommended to us and seems to be a well-known restaurant in town. However, despite the reputation, the service was a big let down for us and unfortunately we wont be coming back.

Being the first to arrive at 9pm, we waited about 45 mins to be served, while other tables, whom arrived later then us, were already eating. When asked about it, the waiter was rude, as if we were being impatient for asking. We sensed that they may be taking orders in a particular sequence, but none of this was explained to us.

The next part was the actual ordering. We had no issues with the prices of dishes, however when we decided to only order four ‘gambones’ for the four of us and to make room for different dishes, the waiter was sarcastic and asked why we only ordered four. He also repeatedly insinuated we were cheap and was quite dismissive when we ordered one of the cheaper plates- potatos with egg, (which we did as it had been recommended to us previously). When the plate arrived, the waiter placed the dish down and said ‘this is what you are waiting for’. We felt belittled and insulted, which was really uncalled for.

Overall, our experience was really tainted by their bad service and arrogant behaviour. Despite the quality of food, their service was one of the worse we have had in all the places we have been to...

Stumbled upon this restaurant while doing research on places where to eat in San Jose. Food was good and good portions. Four of us had: 1 portion of clams, 1 tuna tartare and grilled squid to share as starters. Then we had 1 tuna steak and a 1kg fish (shared between 3 people) with some fries (and random fried eggs). Everything was lovely, particularly the tuna tartare. The only small negative comment is the fact that there was a misunderstanding with the order. We were supposed to have only 2 starters but we got 3, which meant we had A LOT of food and we couldn't finish some of it which was a real shame. They could tell we were foreigners and although my sister speaks decent Spanish, somehow the order got misunderstood and they Brough both tuna tartare and the tuna steak. I would definitely recommend this place and I would go again, but I would just say double check what...

A pesar de las opiniones en diversos sentidos nos decidimos por este sitio por que nos parecía un sitio de los de toda la vida. La impresión después de haberlo visitado la ponemos a continuación, pero decir que en general la relación calidad precio es buena si la comparamos con los precios de "Cabo Banús". Me permito realizar esta bromilla, es relativamente caro para el tamaño de las raciones, cosa que compensan con el servicio y con la calidad del producto.

Cosas positivas: buenas vistas, rapidez en el servicio, comida buena, la cerveza está bien fresquita.

Cosas mejorables: la cantidad de las raciones, por ejemplo un plato de patatas con un huevo 10€ y no trae más que una patata picada y un huevo, vamos que con eso no come un niño....así todo. El zumo que ponen es de bote de litro, ya te lo traen servido en la copa (2€). El precio en general y a mi juicio es elevado, pero he de decir que está en la media de la zona. Otro aspecto regular es que para llegar tienes que rodear todo el pueblo con el coche.

Off topic: llegamos a 13:50 y sólo había dos mesas ocupadas con sus correspondientes guiris, el resto de mesas con el cartelito de reservado, preguntamos a un camarero el cual nos dijo que si teniamos reserva y al decir que no dijo que tenia que preguntar, entonces salió un señor que parece que nos dio el visto bueno para sentarnos en una de esas mesas "resevadas", reseñar que entre las 13:50 y las 15:15 que estuvimos no se ocuparon más que dos mesas, por lo que deduzco que no estaban reservadas...en fin, lo que digo, parece que el turismo autóctono no les interesa mucho, prefieren guiris que no...
