Ares — Restaurant in Tarragona

My family and i went there for a drink this evening. Sat down and waited . Elderly gentleman serving. When we asked if we could get a drink he lost the head. Said ..u come here and sit down without as much as a hello... We felt very annoyed at his attitude. We left and went to Home Run where we were treated with respect!! Received a response from the owner today. As expected as far as he is concerned it was our fault for going to his restaurant and sitting down...The reason we did not say anything is because he was the only server and was busy. We didnt want to be rude so we just waited until he was free. This is what we have always done in any outdoor seating area in Tarragona!! There should be a sign outside Ares which says only people ordering food are welcome!!! I intend to check this out with the Spanish Tourist Authority when i get home. I have never met such a rude person...especially with him...

Would 100% recommend anyone to eat here, whether for lunch or dinner. We are already looking forward to going back when we...

I went to this restaurant as I had seen the menu when passing in the afternoon and it had Pigs cheeks in red wine (a particular favourite of mine). The restaurant opened late as advertised and the gentleman owner who was very friendly was happy to accommodate us. We ate about 22.30 and the Gentleman's wife was doing the cooking and a young chap was assisting him all very nice. My wife had a tuna salad which was most pleasant and the pigs cheeks were very tasty and tender made even better by the waxy potatoes and the bread to mop up the gravy. Lovely meal in a place that took a pride in its service and...
