Dorado — Restaurant in Vila-seca

Omg,just avoid this place . Service and atmosphere - 0 . Everything started from our waiter( Blond woman), extremely unprofessional attitude and rude. After a small conversation with her at the beginning we already wanted to leave,but had to stay cause we booked table and it was quite late to go and look for something else. Food was lovely,that’s for sure,apart of “grilled octopus” that wasn’t really grilled but just boiled? After we politely asked to take that octopus back,because we didn’t like it,they’ve started making issues like we don’t know anything about how food being cooked and it’s 100% grilled octopus. Anyways,after that all staff been just talking about us and pointing at us from the other corner of the restaurant,which was completely disrespectful and awful. All locals who’s been sitting around us and speaking Spanish ,not English,been treated differently,especially a single man who’s been sitting just next to us and she was looking after him as well, she was flirting with him and always winking at him,but when it was time to come to our table she rolled her eyes without hiding her displeasure....

We came to the restaurant with high hopes, drawn in by its reputation for delicious seafood dishes. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we anticipated. We ordered the seafood paella with extra seafood, which came at a higher price. When the dish arrived, it looked promising—but the taste was a complete disaster. The seafood was simply inedible, with an overwhelming muddy flavor that ruined the entire meal. It was clear that the ingredients were of very poor quality, and after just a few bites, our appetite was completely gone. While the service and ambiance were decent, it’s hard to enjoy the atmosphere when the food is this bad. To make matters worse, a man—possibly the owner—was seated nearby, watching every move we made, which made it impossible to relax. We did inform the waiter about the poor quality of the food, and all we were offered was a limoncello. Sadly, that didn’t make up for the fact that we left hungry and disappointed. Overall, we do not recommend this restaurant. The food-to-price ratio is a tragedy, and no amount of decent service can make up for an...

This is a lovely restaurant, it struck me as one of the higher end restaurants in La Pineda and it didn't disappoint. The food was tasty, arrived quickly and the portion size was generous! The drinks are relatively expensive but they also don't do measures for spirits. The staff are incredibly professional and can't do enough for you to make your time there great. Sea views, right on the beach, which is a big bonus. The only thing I would say that let the restaurant down is the physical appearance of the menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant, uniforms of the staff, tables and food presentation are clearly higher end, but the appearance of the menu says budget/outdated. This is definitely a minor point, but is something that immediately struck me. Regardless I would recommend eating here and will definitely return if I end up back...
