"The food may be good, but this was not a pleasant experience. My husband and I booked a table at this restaurant for his birthday it was recommended by a local. Because we were visiting the city, we were admittedly not dressed fancy. We also arrived just as they were opening. The blind was still down, but the waitress came and put it up. She didn’t however invite us to enter. We waited a few more moments and entered, gave our name and were directed to a table. We had the impression we weren’t very welcome,and this even though I made the effort to speak Castilian. We weren’t hungry enough to order starters, and this didn’t seem to go down well. We ordered mains but we were not informed that they didn’t come with any vegetables or potatoes or anything. We were given an extra sheet for the menu, but we were told these things (no price) were to snack. If the owner (who took our order) had taken the time to communicate to us that their mains didn’t come with anything, we probably would have ordered sides! Ironically, the fact that we weren’t ordering much didn’t seem to please them, but this was because they jumped to conclusions and didn’t take the time to explain things to us…! My husband ordered wine by the glass. There was only one choice. When it was served, the waiter didn’t show him the bottle (even if he didn’t have the choice, he still might have wanted to see the bottle), nor let him taste before serving the whole glass. The mains arrived with no sides, to our shock, and we ate them. They were very good. We each had a bread roll, and once we were finished with the fish and seafood, we ate the bread and mopped up the sauce. We were never asked if we were enjoying our food. Suddenly, the waitress came over and cleared our plates, not asking if we were finished and giving the distinct sense that they wanted us out of there. She came back and cleared away the bread rolls (unfinished), when I was literally still chewing a piece in my mouth. We felt this was rude and at this point decided we didn’t want dessert there (we would probably have ordered some otherwise). The general attitude, right until the payment of the bill, was snobby. We have been to quite a few high end restaurants, including Michelin starred, and have always been happy in these places to pay more for good food and excellent service. Here we felt the service was rude and haughty, and that we were judged because we look young (this happens a lot to both of us, and I heard the owner refer to me as “la señorita” when I am 34 and married), weren’t dressed up and didn’t order starters. We would not recommend this place at all!"
