Can Santi — Restaurant in Sant Lluís

Let’s be honest, there’s not much choice on the cuisine front in Punta Prima with each restaurant a virtual carbon copy of the next - the “classic” seafood dishes, meat dishes and occasionally some pizzas. I randomly picked Can Santi but must have been wearing my “Midas touch” gloves inside out tonight as we clearly lost this evening’s dinner lottery. Our suspicions were aroused by the dead lobster in the tank which, as it was missing some appendages, was obviously being snacked on by its former tank mates (see photo, and if you’re not sure why a dead lobster in a tank is a bad thing, look up Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares for his take on it). We probably should have moved on at this point rather than just deciding to not choose lobster. Let’s get some positives in now (there won’t be many more…): we were seated efficiently and the waiting staff were pretty good. If you ignore the missing dish from our order and the additional one we didn’t order that was added to our bill. The grilled sole was more flip-flop than fresh fish who’d recently been flopping. Distinctly “old” tasting. I should maybe have added the grilled squid I had to the bottom of it to make some particularly hard wearing footwear. Goodyear and Bridgestone should be knocking on this place’s door to understand how to produce sustainable rubberised compounds from marine Gastropoda. Ready to cut our losses and run, one of our party thought a trip to the loo was needed. I think they’d have felt cleaner if they hadn’t bothered and instead “grand slammed” themselves in the car on the way home. With the heated...

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience at this restaurant.

We were greated by a waiter (very tall unfortunately did not get his name) , who seemed uninterested and was very rude.

Whilst many around us seemed to be well looked after we felt we were largely ignored throughout our meal.

The waiter was rude and borderline aggressive with how he spoke to us, other tables were treated very well and we were perplexed as to why he had taken issue with us and our toddler.

We were given bread we did not ask for while waiting for our meal which they charged us for.

Another table asked for their left overs to be boxed up which he did, when we asked the same he planted boxes on our table for us to box our own food up.

Not once were we asked if we wanted another drink (others around us were asked often). Other children received a lolly pop at the end of the meal but again we were treated differently.

We are a friendly polite family and we are still confused as to why he was so rude to us.

We have eaten out several times on our trip but of course not returned to this restaurant.

It is a shame we had such a rude and ignorant waiter as judging by other reviews we should of had a great evening but thanks to a very unprofessional member of staff we left feeling very unsatisfied.

I would recommend the waiter is reminded of good manners and how to...

Just arrived home from our holiday in punta prima. We visited can Santi twice and would recomend that you all stay well clear. The first time we visited we ordered spaghetti Bolognese and lamb chops potatoes and veg, this was average and edible although the veg was a huge pile of lettuce and grated carrot. The next night we pushed the boat out and I ordered shoulder roast lamb. This came in about 5 minutes which was a worry, cutting the meat showed it was still quite raw with the gravy on top still cold and quite solidified. I sent this meal back the waiter agreeing it was uncooked. 5 minutes later the same thing came back and I returned it again. I was asked why I didn't like there meat to which I replied I liked it actually cooked. I was ignored and had to ask a waiter to bring the menu back. I ate a boring pizza to play safe and only ordered it as my family had had there meal sometime and I made them eat it before it went cold. I paid the bill got no apologies and they got no tip. Stay away they obviously precook the meat (badly)...
