Restaurante Monte Mar — Restaurant in Orihuela

Really bad service. I’m not sure if it was the owner—an older gentleman with a mustache and glasses from Italy—but he was very unpleasant. I understand the challenges of working alone outside of peak season and dealing with insufficient staff (there were two gentlemen and a lady), but that does not excuse being hostile. This is a hospitality business, and guests should not be treated with hostility.

He kept complaining, creating a very unpleasant atmosphere, and even cussing in Italian at the counter (using words like katso). Additionally, one of our main courses was missed, though at least it wasn’t billed.

My tuna was ok. main dish came to fast, i did not have the time to finish my starter. lasagne tasted not well. My daughter loves lasagne but she left her dish half finished and asked fore some toast when we arrived home. no toilet paper, no soap, no paper towel. my sons pizza was good. For us very dissapointing. We will not come...

I visited this restaurant this evening expecting a fine dining experience.

Unfortunately, my expectations were not met as the service was poor, the waitress could not formulate questions clearly and did not speak English or Spanish.

Also, the Hawaiian pizza dough was thick, warmed from the bottom and had an unpleasant taste and smell. There was no filling as such. In conclusion, I can only say that I do not recommend visiting the restaurant...
