Yes, we would go again! Great food, in fact really great food. Value for money was good and a great menu selection. The only thing we didn't really like was the hit and miss service. We ordered two sparkling waters... one arrived cold, the other warm. When we asked for a cold one, we were just ignored.... Ice didn't come, but the waiter passed so fast I doubt he heard us. Bread arrived with olive oil, ( not ordered, but we didn't object as it's a common thing here in Spain and we did accept that we would be charged... the problem was, while we were still eating it, the plates were just whipped away and starters put down.... now we had no side plates, which meant the remaining bread, and shells / tails from the prawns had nowhere to go except on the side of my starter plate. I did try and ask for a fresh side plate, but by the time someone came, it was too late. My fellow guest was not given fresh cutlery after his starter, so his fork from the salmon had to do for his Chicken main course. As my cutlery was on my vanishing bread plate... i did get new cutlery... Again with the main.... a stunningly fantastic streak. I had to ask for black pepper ... and as it didn't arrive... waiter was busy clearing another table... I had to ask again... the same when the bill arrived... it was dropped on the table and nobody came back to take payment.... we waved and tried eye contact... but it just didn't happen... eventually we went inside and paid. I have a pet hate in restaurants. When food is put down, servers should always ask diners if they have everything they need. It solves so many possible problems. We would have bought another bottle of wine, and definitely another two bottles of water, but once the food dropped in front of us, nobody came near again. The pepper mill arrived by drop and go... So, in the end... we LOVED the food.... loved the selection, but a little more attention while we were there would have made the evening perfect. Please take this as constructive and not so much a complaint... One hates to feel like they are constantly asking for things, but a few seconds to check on us and we would have spent more and been happier clients,

Have eaten here many times but was disappointed with the meal. 75% fat on the entrecôte and pork very rare. Not up to it’s usual high standard. Not put me off going back as just unlucky on this occasion.

The chef obviously puts a lot of thought into the menu. It is varied and different to other restaurants in the area. Everything is cooked fresh and there is a lot for non meat eaters too

After a leisurely walk around La Cala we arrived for our 1.30 booking and were offered a choice of tables, we took a table on the terrace to watch the world go by. Started with an Aperol Spritz and a Bloody Mary both very good. I chose the Crispy chicken with vegetables and TGL had the Octopus on waffle, both dishes very nice, well presented and portion size spot on. I finished with the rice pudding. Chose one of the three bottles of Albariño on offer, “Davide” went down very well. Special mention to the young girl who served us as my Spanish is still in its infancy and she got to practice her English on us and did a very good job. Will return.
