Saw Llum Del Mar on Trip Advisor and it was ranked highly - it didn't disappoint. Food was high quality and very well presented by some attentive staff. Well done Jose Christian. Just needs a few more punters to bring the ambience up to a five but the location is excellent with a great view and a nice room to enjoy the meal.

This was a well intended 8 course that started really well with the two first courses. I would have loved to see this restaurant succeed as the staff were super friendly and fast (except when it came to pouring our wine and getting the bill) and the location is great. From the third, the courses were mediocre or not great unfortunately. There was a foamy element which was reused in half the dishes, making it appear as if the chef was cooking from the bathtub. There was a black butter that reappeared where they should have kept it to the second dish. It was ok with the steak (which was a perfect medium minus), but I would have liked to see something new by this time. It also reappeared in the foie, mixed with an oily sauce. This dish was ok, but a little too oily. The oyster had a black sauce making it unappealing, and taste wise it was inedible (would have loved something citrusy and/or something tomato based instead). The fish was also rather disappointing. There was a 40 % brown fish-tasting-part ratio in the meat (and my friend found bones), there were unnecessary amounts of bathtub foam and a brow sauce that did not do the fish any favour. Would have loved a crispy element with the fish and a white wine sauce. There were two desserts, but they came at the same time, maybe to balance each other out as the one was really bitter (I could never understand why anyone would think beetroot in desert was a good idea) and the other one extremely sweet. The Catalan cream was ok (probably great if you’re from the southern part of Europe and enjoy these extremely sweet deserts), but the beetroot thing was a miss, and the ice cream in it was crystallised. I would have loved for the waiters to have a little more knowledge about wine pairing with the food, or an option of a wine pairing. We had a nice time, a nice view and were full when we left (much thanks to the healthy portion of American Angus) so not a bad experience, but I really hope they change a large part of their menu.

Christmas Eve dinner, set menu. Nice selection. Views are great over the bay. Service was good and friendly. Very quiet, seemed a bit formal and quiet, but would definitely go again.

A great place to dine out with excellent ocean and beachfront views. The lamb was fabulous as were the deserts. The staff were excellent. Definitely recommended.

A wonderful setting and small gourmet menu. Top quality ingredients cooked precisely. The use of chocolate with the pate and the veal is extraordinary. Not at all what we expected. Good quality wines at very reasonable prices. The views are spectacular.

Disfrutamos de una cena para dos, las vistas del sitio son buenísimas, y el trato del personal fue exquisito. Pedimos a la carta, la cual es un poco reducida y no tenían un par de entrantes que nos apetecían como el jamón de bellota; a cambio pedimos unas gambas rojas que fue lo que más nos desilusionó, ya que el precio era elevado para las dos que nos sacaron, 21 euros. Respecto al resto estaba riquísimo, foie, entrecot y lo mejor a nuestro parecer, el tataki de atún. En resumen una experiencia muy buena la cual repetiríamos.

Food wasn't upto standard. Charging proper restuarant money for a poor selection of food, RAW PORK which had to be sent back (would normally eat steak rare or blue but pork can not be raw). Dessert was some cake from the local shop and some ice cream chucked on top. The venue is good. Service is ok.

Teníamos una reserva a la 21:30 . Llegamos y nos dice un camarero con bastante prepotencia que su jefa siempre coge demasiadas mesas y que no puede atendernos . Ni pone alguna alternativa como por ejemplo que tardan algo mas . Por cierto tenía también un poco pinza de estar pasado de vueltas . Esta claro que la falta de personal te obliga a contratar a lo que se pueda , pero un tipo así en un restaurante de supuesta categoría , hace que tu restaurante parezca eso : de poca categoría . No vuelvo en la vida y recomiendo que vayáis a un restaurante más abajo que de llama d vora . Fuimos después sin reserva y el chaval amable buscó una solución .

Awesome food, service and amazing views, highly recommend it. A note for the restaurant, ban mobiles. Just one guy playing videos on his phone with the sound up! Not the restaurant’s fault but maybe a polite note. Probably a one off, but the food and service was out of this world
