Also possible to sit outside in the summer. Do mind it is always crowded during sunny days so line up is unavoidable. But once you sit there, it is quite enjoyable to see the scenery of the sea while drinking and eating seafood.

Had a great dinner with the Family for my birthday with a group of 7.

We started out with some drinks at the bar and after that we went to have dinner.

We chose the 2nd menu, it is possible to switch up some dishes.

The food was amazing as well as the timing for each course and the service in between!

Also make sure to try their Champagne!

Wonderful night that I would recommend to anybody!

We had a lovely diner and evening.

We arrived 15 minutes before our 19:30 reservation, so we hit the bar with a glass of wine.

The ambience was really nice, dimmed lights, soft music, created an unique atmosphere.

No one rush us to meet our reservation, I believe they might be taking only one reservation per night, so you can enjoy every moment and step if you get a multiple course dinner.

We moved to our table after a while, and we were welcome by the staff. Get ready to eat, the welcome dish was some Spanish ham, this is courtesy and not charged.

We opted for a 5 course dinner accompanied by a “pairing” (basically one different wine per dish that should fit well with it), but in this case we limited it to 3 (consider it as an option if also don’t feel like drinking too much), since we felt that it we would had to rush to finish each cup.

The whole experience allows you to take your time, have a nice evening, enjoy the dishes and wine.

The food was simply incredible, we were really happy with our choice, and we enjoy every single bite. Even the most simple things like bread and butter were exquisite. The selection of wine was also outstanding.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they were very attentive. My girlfriend standup to go to the toilet, and one waiter put her chair on its place and neatly positioned her napkin on the table.

We left really full and really happy. We would probably come back some day. More than recommended!

A friendly welcome and relaxed, smiling service. The only problem was that the kitchen wasn't able to deliver our dish as requested after 30 minutes, so we had to opt for 2 other dishes with a bit of delay... I'm not sure that the music from the islands is really appropriate for the setting, which is a good one. A place to visit, as well as the surrounding area.
