"(things to improve) by not being able to go to a braseria that we wanted to visit, with much skepticism we arrived at this restaurant. typical restaurant playing beach and with chiringuito terrace where you see the menu cards with Spanish banderitas or in English or French, which is usually bad sign as you know that it is bad food that will be destined to sneak into the cocktail tourist but all the opposite! correct service for all the waiters and delays. rebounded squids are really repeating and going specifically to the scale to ask only that. a light and crispy friction, and fresh product, really that marvels 10/10. the very good mussels of taste, nothing of the other world but completely acceptable and would repeat without doubt. Finally the absolutely delicious coconut, I ordered it well marked and crude inside, came as I asked. as it was a restaurant that plays the beach expected the worst, typical very fine coconut with a lot of fat but on the contrary, I find a piece of 500gr of almost 4 fingers thick, with its fat salt in the quantity perfeca, and with very good home potatoes. also congratulate the one who was in the coals, came out perfect and for less than 20€. The only sticks, when we went there were 3 tables eating, it gives me the feeling that if there were more people the service could have gotten worse and delayed, as well as there are restaurants that can get in time with any number of customers, here I have not had that feeling. I tell you it's worth going if you're around, at least what my experience was, I recommend it a lot."

"Was very much looking forward to eating here after getting a high recommendation from a hotel in Barcelona and then reading reviews online. Unfortunately we were pretty disappointed. We chose the 22 euro lunch but replaced one of the mains with a separate main off a different menu. We ordered one beef carpaccio and one melon soup as starters. When melon soup arrived there was a little bug in it. Upon pointing it out the waiter apologized and returned it with another one. It pretty much tasted like melon water with a lime sorbet on it. The carpaccio was served with pesto sauce and fresh , cheese which was good. Next for mains I ordered the slow cooked beef with truffle husband ordered his main from the separate menu (for a little extra) which was the tuna carpaccio. What the waiter failed to tell us was that both carpaccios (beef and tuna) would be served with exactly the same toppings! My main dish was quite fatty and was served with mushrooms that were almost raw and had no taste. The sauce was salty and more like a brown sauce mixed with mashed potato?! Then came dessert. I had ordered the cheese with walnuts and honey that was pretty good. Fresh soft local cheese and the honey and walnuts were served separately to be topped as you like. Nothing to complain about here. Husband had the white chocolate served with strawberry sorbet and foam? Which he discovered upon eating also had a small fruit fly in it. Quality control here not great. We were eating outside so I know flies can get in but these were clearly present when the dishes arrived. It was returned and they brought another one aside from the bug, there was no balance to this dessert. The white chocolate looked like mayonnaise and took over the dish. Some citrus, herbs or nuts would have added some extra texture/cut the sweetness. We both felt the bread and olive oil was the best part of our meal here. The maître d never apologized or spoke of the bug incident or offered to compensate us in any way either. Also heads up that the menu is really not vegetarian friendly. Wouldn’t go out of your way to eat here like we did. We ate so much better in Cadaques and Girona for way less. Don’t be fooled by the whole gastronomic experience it’s all hot air and little substance here."

"High expectations but turned out an overpriced and disappointing food with a bad service. We hat a table reservation at 2:30pm. They sat us on the only table with no window and facing a big stone wall behind a column. They didn 't take care of our table after 20 minutes been sitting there,. We ordered the Menú Degustació and the first plate arrived to the table after 25 minutes we ordered, a total of 45 minutes sitting there with no food, any apology neither a plate explanation. The first dish was modified from the initial menu because they run off peas, the main ingredient, the alternative ingredient, fava beans made the dish no tasty how it was supposed to be. The second dish was really salty, we didn 't finish it, we told it to the waiter but we didn 't receive any explanation or apology about it. The third dish was okay and the fourth, the only meat dish, was the best. Neither the bread that they served us was good, it was a bad quality bread, re-defrosted dry bread. We ordered wine by the glass and it was a small selection that we could choose from, in opposite from the big wine menu. We got the smallest wine glasses ever. Unfortunately our experience was a disaster, they didn 't take care of us and the food quality was just okay being nice. Only when we were leaving the table came the owner to ask us about the experience and when we explain it to her, she said a simple sorry . I can understand that an Easter Sunday is a busy day, but your business and service has to be good no matter that. You can 't make differences between the usual costumers and the new ones, because these new ones won 't come back again and they pay also. So sorry that they obviously don 't care. We won 't go back. Grans espectacions destrossades per una qualitat pésima del servei i un menú Degustació amb moltes mancances. No tornarem."
