They prioritize dogs over people. We're regular customers, and today we went with two children. The waiters made our meal so difficult that we had to leave without dessert or coffee. We won't be back.
The squid... FROZEN, Andalusian style... not at all, and definitely not fried with chickpea flour. The stuffed squid... FROZEN and with a pathetic filling. The black rice, raw with frozen baby squid and artichokes, which give it a horrible bitter taste. The almond flan... ha! Just plain egg custard with almond shavings on top. And the chocolate ice cream, industrially produced. For what you charge, and surrounded by fishing ports just a few kilometers away, you could use fresh, locally sourced products. Thank you.
Delicious!
