"Stunning location, next to the sea, best views you'll ever get whilst having a drink or something to eat. Can get busy at times but understandable given the location. Limited parking right next to it, but there is another car park a two minute road on the way in. Only thing that let it down was the very average service, staff have one gear, not very quick at getting to your table and clearly don't enjoy non Spanish guests visiting. Reasonably priced and despite the bang average staff, a really pleasant place to dine."

"Service was excellent at this restaurant, very attentive and helpful, all the food we ordered was delicious, and we were surprised at the bill at the end , very reasonable as we were expecting it to be more as we ordered quite a few drinks. Perfect place for a romantic date, or to bring the family, views are amazing and atmosphere was good, I enjoyed the live music too. Parking is limited right at the restaurant but we saw a parking area further up. I would definitely come back to this place."
