"Este restaurante tiene algunas iniciativas interesantes, como ofrecer agua filtrada del grifo por 2,8 euros, presentada como un paso hacia la sostenibilidad. Aunque la idea en sí es positiva, la ejecución genera ciertas dudas sobre si realmente es una mejora para el cliente. En cuanto a la comida, los entrantes fueron un acierto: las croquetas variadas y los torreznos estaban bien logrados. Sin embargo, los platos principales dejaron una sensación diferente. El secreto ibérico frito resultó ser excesivo en cuanto a grasa, algo que quizás no fue la mejor elección para este tipo de carne. El entrecot con salsa de queso, a 22 euros, no alcanzó las expectativas, lo que nos llevó a evitar los postres. Es poco probable que repitamos la experiencia."

"We were delighted to be back in the restaurant this Summer and I am happy to add a few comments to my review of last year. I see no one else has reviewed this establishment yet. It is definitely worth a visit! This time we shared a very wide variety of the delicious starters with a large amount of the fabulous bread. These included prawns in garlic, cheese, tomatoes, anchovies, house salad, tomato with tuna, steamed mussels, serrano ham and duck foie gras a veritable feast! For main courses we ordered a mixture of fish and steaks as well as the assortment of sausages. The priciest steaks come in at a very reasonable €15. These mains were better accompanied than last year with more potatoes and vegetables. My seabass was delicious yet again and filled the plate. I really must try something different next time! The house wine is a steal at €8 a bottle. We were a party of ten with five young people who all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They continued with sorbets and desserts, followed by coffee. The tiramisu and cheesecake are both €4. Together with a bar bill from downstairs we paid €275.70 for a very good meal. Amazing value compared to what you would pay in Blighty for a similar restaurant experience.The whole night was downgraded by one blob due to the waitress who was working alone. She appeared to be struggling with serving and with communicating with the table. She came across as somewhat brusque with us and I ended up apologising for not speaking Valencian, despite speaking fluent Spanish to her. People in the region speak both languages, but no tourists will speak Valencian. They have an English menu, as I mentioned last year, and could do with producing one in Spanish. I don't imagine the staff speak English. I was further irked when our change was short by €20. I remember the same thing happening last year, but I didn't mention it in the review.It was quickly rectified. I am mentioning it this year... Nevertheless, I look forward to returning next year."
