After watching Joc de Cartes we decided to try this place. 1. “Sopa de pescado” Fish soup didn’t have any seafood flavor, it was mediocre and the only seafood flavor I felt was from pieces of shrimps and muscles in my mouth, but if you eat just a spoon of broth separately - it tasted nothing. “Fideuá” with lobster was good, but nothing special, very mediocre… mostly it tasted like sofregit, it didn’t have rich seafood flavor. Lobster was good, it was half of it in this portion, not much meat, it was tasty. AMAZING SERVICE , high quality. I hope waiters get paid well, they deserve it! Restaurant was fully packed: terrace and both floors, we had to wait a bit, but it’s all understandable. Very polite, honest, respectful, professional staff. Second floor was quiet, cozy, with air conditioning, paintings on the walls. “Cim i tomba” wasnt special either, normal fish with garlic and potatoes, something that grandma would cook for dinner, presentation was also nothing special. Cheesecake… ordinary cheesecake like everywhere else. Nothing special.
Normal food, mediocre flavors… prices are fine, May be a bit higher than usual, seafood is fresh. I wouldn’t come back. Nothing...
Read moreWe were a party of 6 and wanted a nice meal to finish our holiday. But what we got was extremely disappointing. We walked past the restaurant a few times and it looks nice in a great location by the castle entrance. So we decided to book it for us and our two sons and there girl friends. We popped in the evening before and looked at the set meal menu to see if we thought they had enough choice to satisfy all 6 of us. We thought so and booked it for the following evening. At the time of booking we were asked if we wanted inside or out and decided outside would be nice. The following evening we arrived at the chosen time and were shown to a lovely table. However, this is where it all went wrong. Firstly we were told that the set meals (€23 each) could only be ordered inside the restaurant so we had to move inside. Then ordering the drinks and meal choices was just plain awful, they just kept walking away while we tried to order. Then when the food arrived, it was virtually thrown on the table and I must say, it was bang average at best. Truthfully we felt like 2nd class citizens, even though our bill was over €200. Would not go back and would advise others to choice...
Read moreOut of the many restaurants in the area, we chose this one because of its location—right in front of the castle's rear gate.
Most of the dishes we ordered were quite tasty. I especially recommend the avocado shrimp salad and the sea urchin appetizer, which we had as starters. The cod dish was also delicious and left us very satisfied.
However, the steak was disappointing. We ordered it medium and medium rare, but it was served closer to well-done, making it very tough. As for the flat fish dish, the server filleted the fish without asking, which disappointed my friend who would have preferred to do it themselves.
I wouldn’t say the service was bad, but because the restaurant was very busy, communication wasn’t easy and that led to some misunderstandings. I also felt that communicating in English was a bit difficult here.
The issues with the steak doneness and the fish preparation seem to have been caused by language barriers. Other than that, I would say the overall service was...
