I don't understand the rave reviews from French speakers. Only tried fish and chips in Ibiza? Let's stay calm and measured as the hell before we send everyone somewhere. It's good food but nothing exceptional. And that creates more disappointment than anything else, especially for those who are going to travel an hour to come. (See my comments in French at the end) Nice place but overstated. The dishes are not the same everyday so you may not have what is indicated in the customers comments. Everything was good and home made, but nothing exceptional that justifies the price. The farinata were dry, the salt cod fish croquettes (3.5 euros/piece) were Portuguese or Spanish in taste but not Italian. The parmigiana was good. For me the penne were too salty, and it's strange to put rucola on the tomato spaghetti instead of basil. Finally the pasta should be served with the parmesan on the side and not in it. The risotto al mare was very good. The desserts (we had tiramisu, meringue and strawberry sorbet) were good, not with too much sugar. But once again all the dishes were simple and therefore the prices seemed a bit high to us for what was on the plate. Knowing how to monitor cooking and work with good products is not enough to ask for 70 euro/pax without the wines. Finally everything is dark outside (see the pictures): we did not see what we ate in the garden. At night it is even difficult to read the menu: you have to add some dim lights. Je ne comprends pas les avis dithyrambiques des francophones. Vous n'avez testé que des fish and chips à Ibiza? Restons calmes et mesurés que diable avant d'envoyer tout le monde quelque part. C'est de la bonne cuisine mais rien d'exceptionnel. Et cela crée plus de déception qu'autre chose, surtout pour ceux qui vont faire une heure de transport pour venir. Cela donne une piètre idée de la culture culinaire en France. Je passe en anglais pour...

Unfortunately, the service fell well below our expectations. There was a significant delay before we even received the menus, and the wait time between courses was excessively long. We also had to wait a considerable amount of time to get the bill, which—rather oddly—arrived before dessert was even served. This felt rushed and frankly quite rude.

Throughout the meal, there was a noticeable lack of attention to detail and care from our waitress. No one checked in to see if we were enjoying the food or needed anything, which added to the overall sense of being overlooked.

Additionally, I had informed the waiter that I have a garlic intolerance and asked if something could be prepared without it. I was told, quite bluntly, that nothing could be modified and I should simply choose something that doesn’t contain garlic. This gave the impression that the food is pre-made rather than freshly prepared — which was disappointing and undermined the expectations we had about the quality of your kitchen.

What made this even more disappointing is that I had mentioned in advance that we were celebrating our 13th anniversary, hoping for a little gesture to make the evening special. Sadly, there was no acknowledgment at all, which was very disheartening.

We had high hopes for the evening and chose your restaurant for what should have been a memorable occasion. Instead, we left feeling let down.

I hope you will take this feedback seriously, as I believe your restaurant has great potential, but the service experience needs...
