Esta es la segunda vez que vamos. Nos ha encantado, un ambiente espectacular, tranquilo, familiar, muy buenas vibras, nos han atendido súper rápido y han estado al pendiente de cada detalle, no tuvimos que esperar en ningún momento, lo que hemos pedido estaba buenisimo, los sabores, las texturas todo un 10/10. Repetiría sin pensarlo.

Bar restaurante con muchos años de experiencia, abiertos desde hace más de 30 años. Sirven recetas de cocina mediterránea, especialistas en raciones y tapas de pescado y marisco. Es la primera vez que vengo por varias recomendaciones familiares y la verdad que mi experiencia ha sido estupenda. El servicio y atención a mesa excepcional y la calidad de los productos excelente. Suele llenarse pronto el local por lo que se aconseja hacer una reserva aunque también tiene terraza a pie de calle. Repetiremos seguro!

La comida buenísima y el precio es bueno. Le debo quitar puntos al servicio por que estuvimos mucho rato esperando a que nos atendieran, debido a que como cada uno atiende a X mesas, la nuestra quedó desatendida. También le resto un poco al ambiente por la dificultad de acceso.

Tapas muy generosas. y sabrosas Ambiente agradable y buen trato. La sèpia estaba deliciosa, I los calamares a la romana estupendos, me gustó mucho la presentación de cada plato El único detalle que no me gustó las tostadas de pan con tomate. Hubiese preferido la tostada caliente recién sacada del horno o tostadero y untar personalmente El tomate y/o ajo aceite etc

Restaurant de tapes de tota la vida, amb una bona qualitat - preu. A destacar que tot i que ofereixen molts fregits, no fa gens d'olor el local i no son gens greixosos en boca, tampoc es berrejen sabors de carn, peix o verdura. Les racions son generoses, en especial les dels plats combinats. Si hi aneu, demaneu Sí o Sí les albergínies, carxofes i xipirons, increïbles! Les mandonguilles no es queden enrere.
