El PATIO de Moonten (Adults Only) — Restaurant in Sóller

Oh dear!!! We visit Soller at least once a year and love to support new restaurants. We booked well in advance which was easy enough to do. We were bombarded with no fewer than five reminders of our booking but no mechanism to confirm attendance. Arrived 10 minutes early which appeared to be a big deal. The first "moan" from the waiter.

I was then asked if I was a 1970 movie star which would have put me in my late 70s disrespectful and rude!!.

We waited outside for our table to be ready despite only 4 people dining. Wish we had walked away at this point.

Second "moan" a table of six had cancelled and he had to split the tables. Another delay the excuse given the waiter wanted to give us a choice of vacant tables, the place was empty. We ordered drinks, but the wine didn't arrive. We ordered our food, discussed at length the cod main, and asked for confirmation that this was a hot dish assured it was.

Ten minutes later the waiter asked us to confirm our wrong order. We repeated it.

Next moan I am only on myself the other staff member didn't turn up. Again we should have left. The waiter told us several times he was on his own as if asking for forgiveness for sloppy service.

The complimentary olives were delicious. The bread was hard like rock buns. The rice arancini was tasty but expensive for a simple rice croquette.

The lamb was lukewarm and fatty. The portion size was suitable for an infant no side dishes and no option to order any.

The cod dish was wrong it was cod cervece instead of codfish. We shared a measly main, asked for our bill, and could not leave quickly enough.

We were so disappointed as the restaurant is beautiful. Poor service moaning waiter so many mistakes in one sitting.

Not one worthy of a...

I had a reservation for Saturday 13 September at 7.30 pm. I made the reservation for my husband’s birthday as this sounded like an exciting new restaurant with excellent food and service. However, I just received notice that the restaurant has cancelled the reservation without previous notice or explanation. Might be worth noting for those wanting to book for a special occasion. There are plenty of other options in and around Soller, so might not be worth the risk...
