"After reading reviews that gave a fantastic overview of this Restaurant…we just had to give it a go! So , firstly the Cab to the Restaurant was 12 euros…it’s quite a little drive from Almuñécar.. When we arrived there was a large noisy Wedding party which drowned out any conversation!..We both ordered TBone Steak…and immediately I tried to cut in to mine the meat was apparently Raw and not as I ordered…I asked that it be cooked a couple more minutes…. I noticed my daughter was struggling to cut hers up ..I asked her if it was ok and she said honestly Mum it’s just fat and muscle!!!…she showed me and you could see it was just as she said…you couldn’t even cut into the meat for gristle and thick unrendered fat streaks running all through the meat! We called the waiter back and showed him the fact that it was too bad to even get a proper piece to eat from it! Being a Chef myself, I sat there and listened as the Manager explained how this was ‘quite normal’ in Spain… that is how Spanish meat was!!!… I have lived in Spain and Never Ever had an expensive cut of Steak like that ,that you couldn’t cut up!!… The TBone was advertised in the menu as 48 euros per kilo….. there was no exact price on the Steak itself….just by weight. We were not getting anywhere with this guy…even when I showed him my steak and pulled up all the fat and gristle…he STILL maintained…’this is normal’!!! I asked him to show me what parts I COULD Eat!…. Such a con artist, he tried to explain …no you don’t cut there… you cut here ..and leave this bit and don’t cut this bit as everyone knows that’s not edible!!! I’d had enough of his Spanish’Bull’….And said well, we don’t want them…and that’s that we just want the bill ….He took our plates away, we went to pay the bill at the Bar…It had just been left on a plate…I picked it up to see he had charged us 79 Euros for 1 TBone Steak !!!…we’d not eat Either! He was nowhere to be seen…so I was so angry I just left 40 Euros and left…he knew he had literally seen us coming and ripped us off ,but never stayed around to take our money OR object to me leaving less than charged on bill !!! Just Thieves !!… Preying on Tourists! I don’t trust a lot of these ‘Wonderful’ reviews Anymore!!!!"
