Saona Casino

We made an advance reservation for our last evening in Valencia, hoping for a delightful dining experience, but what we encountered was a profound disappointment. The atmosphere in the restaurant was marked by chaos and urgency, with waitstaff rushing between tables, which made it impossible to truly relax.

While the food was visually appealing, it unfortunately fell short in flavor. We ordered several tapas, a main course, and dessert, all served in a reasonably timely manner. However, the moment we finished our dessert was jarring. The waiter suddenly placed the bill on our table and abruptly insisted that we vacate our table within five minutes.

We were taken aback by such treatment—especially since we hadn’t even finished our wine! While I understand that reservations come with time constraints, the manner in which we were treated was utterly unacceptable. Such behavior from the staff is not only discourteous but also quite offensive. This was the first time we’ve ever experienced such a situation in a restaurant.

Even a week later, I am still filled with indignation and disappointment. I cannot recommend this restaurant—it leaves a bitter aftertaste that will linger for quite some time.
