latierra restaurante — Restaurant in Torremolinos

Upon entering the establishment, we politely asked if there was any space available for a drink. We went in knowing that this place was probably quite popular so made it clear we were here for a drink and would be grateful for a seat. As two young people on our final night in Spain we thought a nice treat at a posh restaurant/bar would be special. The young waiter who greeted us asked several staff before seating us and made a point of saying. We have a space with a view. I had made it clear we were there for a drink (no mention of food). We were seated at a beautiful corner of the space and we felt very lucky. We ordered a glass of wine each and asked what could be presumed as the lead waiter what wine he would recommend. Our drinks arrived and we politely declined ordering food, we simply wanted to enjoy a drink.

Straight away, the waiter expressed quite loudly to a quiet restaurant we could only sit at this table if we were having dinner. Out of sheer embarrassment, we said we would move as the drinks had already been poured. He quickly collected our drinks and escorted us to a shoddy high table in a courtyard. An ashtray was dumped next to us and immediately we felt like little children shunned to a kids table. At no point was it made clear in order to have a nice table, you needed to spend a considerable amount of Money on food. My partner was incredibly upset and became embarrassed feeling as if she had been told ‘you can’t sit at the posh table, let’s take you to the cheap side’.

Such a shame as a lot of holiday goers may choose to simply go out for a drink or two and these spaces offer beautiful views which may help us regular folk enjoy a ‘posh’ evening.

Once we were seated at our second table, no waiter looked at you, served you or gave you the same experience as the clearly more exclusive indoor seated area. We felt patronised and taken aback but his experience. What a way to end...

Me and my partner decided to go here as we love Thai food and see they had Thai on the menu upon eating it I realised it tasted weird this is due to the fact they use Chicken leg which is not right as traditional Thai chicken is made with breast however I stayed optimistic and continued and as I was eating I realised it was not jus dark but also pink I sent mine back but I had already eaten most of it so was willing to pay however my partner had some rice and that was it I then found 2 pink bits on her plate displayed in the photos I know it is still grey but was still largely pink I sent hers back to which was basically a full dish still I said I wouldn't be paying for hers as there was still all of it left the waiter then spoke to the manager and said I had no choice but to pay after some back and forth I agreed as I couldn't be asked with the bother when he bought it over he had also charged me for some bread he said was on the house and the oil to the bread when question he claimed he never said this overall terrible restaurant that has all the looks but not clue how to actually cook and came across very rude wouldn't not...

Details state staff wear masks. All staff were not wearing masks. Not offered bread but charged it on bill which had to be rectified. Ordered a peach juice twice and never served it. Woman at other table ordered Chardonnay wine this was not available. Menu is obtained by QR code which I managed easily ,however other customers had difficulty. One customer complained about this and not being served a glass of wine.He got allocated his own waiter after the complaint.

Waiters appeared young and in experienced. Became a sketch from Fawlty Towers. Dining alone gave good entertainment although concerning. Waiter dropped board of bread on floor picked up and taken into kitchen do not know what happened to their selection of artisan bread once in kitchen.

Food presentation excellent and tasted delicious as previously stated In previous post, I had the ravioli with seafood , magnificent. Finished with white chocolate cake again presentation and taste excellent.

Restaurant interior stylish with roof top view overlooking sea. Front of house service very poor and lets the restaurant down. Food excellent in taste and...
