Los platos estaban buenos, con producto de primera calidad y elaboraciones que se salen de lo habitual. El precio es más elevado que en otros sitios, pero merece la pena. Son muy rápidos, tanto atendiendo como en cocinas. Tienen buenas vistas al mar, pues está en pleno paseo marítimo. Lo único que no me gustó fue que algún plato venía tibio y perdía bastante, como las zamburiñas. Tampoco me gustó que el personal grita bastante, había veces que solo se les escuchaba a ellos hablando.

Excelente local, situado a pie de playa, excelentes vistas, ambiente tranquilo y relajado, atención muy profesional y agradable, cocina con buen producto y buena manipulación, todo en su punto y bien presentado, comedor bien vestido y sin ruidos. En resumen, local muy recomendable con precios ajustados a la localización y servicio.

It is an great restaurant for the price offered. I ate great vieiras and ok’sh artichokes - the latter was quite acidic. Not sure if I didn't understand the proposal or if there was something wrong. The service was excellent. The waiter promptly prepared a lovely table with a great view, where I had a nice smoke before returning to my room. He spoke English to me with no issues and even remembered to give me back my matchsticks. I'd recommend it to future guets.
