Listen, we were told we couldn’t sit inside on account of all the reservations, so we sat outside. Fine. But then two other people came after us with non resos and were seated inside. The lack of coordination between greeter and other staff should never be felt by the clientele.
The food was okay, for Somo anyway, which mostly has overpriced frozen food and dingy surf shops passing as restaurants. Something different. I have to say though the Asian flavours are not really coming through. The ramen a bit over gingered and the wrong kind of miso with a chicken broth instead of pork. Strange flavour. The other stuff had elements of Vietnam or of Singapore but missed the mark just slightly on both. Not enough fish sauce, cilantro, lime HEAT in the dipping sauce for spring rolls. Weird bitter and grassy aftertaste for most of their food, perhaps too much lemongrass but not fresh lemongrass? The skewers seemed to be a take on the Thai larb which was creative but just ended up tasting a bit like a Thai meatloaf. Missing the crunch of toasted rice and perhaps a demi-glace to show off the chef’s apparent “cordon bleu” roots. There were some Brazilian items on the menu which seemed misplaced to us and the charge for something simple like a nasi Goreng is, effectively, outrageous considering what I know goes into this most basic dish.
We had high hopes but we won’t return. Communication issues between wait staff and kitchen (said the kitchen could split a meal then the kitchen came out and told us to split it ourselves - my first request anyway- the miscommunication regarding seating that made us feel that we weren’t wanted in their establishment… was it another reason?) and the failure of offering anything really authentic and a mishmash of “Asian flavours” just gave me a low feeling after the meal. Disappointing expenditure of money and a...
Read moreBy far the best restaurant we have been to during our trip to Loredo. We have tried several restaurants , but this one was by far the best ! Great food, super tasteful and still healthy (instead of all the other options in the area , which are mostly burgers pizza and or fried fish) Very friendly staff and the food came super quick , would definately recommend to anyone who is in the area. Very high quality food for a fair price ! We have eaten there 4 times and will come back for sure when we are in the...
Read moreReservamos. Nos dicen que tenemos max. Hasta 10.30. Llegamos 9.00. Sólo dos mesas ocupadas. Nos ponen a tres comensales en mesa de dos, al lado de la cocina. Detrás nuestro tres o cuatro mesas vacías…. Tan difícil es intentar agradar al comensal y no tenerlo incómodo sin necesidad?? Con el rico humo de la parrilla… inundando nuestros bronquios. Se nos anima a pedir de entrada unos cócteles. No hay sin alcohol. Nos dejan una carta (con hojas rotas) para los tres. No vienen a tomarnos nota hasta 15 min. por lo que lo del cocktail no tiene mucho sentido. Pedimos un entrante y tres principales. Nada más. Dos copas de vino ( 4,5€ la copa con una miserable cantidad que da para dos sorbos 😕), un agua y un mosto? ( no hay), un nestea creo pues. Las gyozas de shiitake muy ricas. Al cabo de 20 min traen principales. Curry ramen rico. Bacalao… dos tajadas nadando en sopa de soja sin mucha gracia… aburrido. La costilla con la carne dura, pero deliciosa. Y ahí terminó todo. Nunca más supimos de la camarera. Si teníamos alguna intención de pedir postre… 🤣🤣. Finalmente la paramos casi agarrándola del brazo para pedir la cuenta. 22.20hrs. En ese momento debió acordarse que estábamos ahí y, sin nosotros decirle nada nos soltó el comodín de “es que estoy sola 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭”. Ahora eran 4-5 mesas las que estaban ocupadas.
Pues nada 101 eurazos!!! Precio de lujo para atención, cuando menos, deficiente.
Resultado decepcionante. Tampoco esperaba...
