Peñón Costa Quebrada — Restaurant in Santa Cruz de Bezana

We had a great experience at this restaurant. The food, service and views were all excellent. There are several seating choices: outside under a canopy if you don't want sun (our choice), outside under a pergola for partial sun, or inside. No matter where you sit you will have a great view of the beautiful beach. As for the food, I had "bonito" (a variety of tuna) and my wife had "sapito" (monk or angler in English). Both were nicely presented, and portions were large. Just remember that some dishes are priced according to the weight of the fish, e.g. the sapito was 35 euros/kilo. My wife's fish apparently weighed about 650 grams, hence the price of 23 euros. The bonito dish was only 14 euros.

The service was outstanding also. I've been to many restaurants in many parts of Spain, and at this point, sadly, I don't expect waiters to be especially friendly or helpful. At this restaurant we were greated by a man who was cheerful and friendly. When we were ready to order, we got the attention of another server and she happily answered our various questions about how dishes are served, what kind of fish "sapito" is, etc.

When we were done, we asked another man -- possible the owner or manager -- for hiking directions to the beaches about a mile away. He was happy to help, and we took his advice and hiked over the hill next to the beach to discover amazing views of the rocky coast. I don't know anything about their desserts, but you might consider sacrificing dessert so you're not too full to hike to the top of the hill and...

Awful service and manners! We were sat whilst one waiter (a new guy?) was clearing some tables. We signaled to him that we were ready to order. He nodded. He went back to the restaurant and returned to keep clearing more tables. We said again we were ready to order. Another nod. A couple of minutes later we said again we were ready to order when the manager comes saying there were turns and theyd be with us shortly. Finally some acknowledgement. Not too bad. But then comes the owner saying exactly the same thing adding "if were not happy, we had the freedom to go", which we simply did! Much better places with decent service where to spend your hard-earned money. (PS: the place wasn`t packed or anything. Some waiters were def taking...
