Reviews
Very good food and a beautiful view. Sadly we experienced as 2 young women that we were ignored by the male staff. We ordered a wine with the food, but it never came. Which can happen, but when we said something about it, there was not even an sorry. For this price range and location you expect a bit better service. When paying we kindly said we were not satisfied with the service, this was then said to our waiter trough a mic in front of us. This felt a bit out off place and uncomfortable. Overall good food
Decided to go for our anniversary dinner and it was an excellent choice! For drinks we had tinto de verano slushies (much better than it sounds, sweet and chilled) and for starters we had pan y tres salsas, gambas cerviche (perfect refreshing dish) and pulpo a la brasa (MASSIVE and perfectly cooked). All excellent however I’ll be honest not the best bread. The main we chose was fideuá with tuna and prawns. We couldn’t quite finish it after the starters but it was delicious. The fried prawns were a bit much! Our wonderful waitress Estefanía was a delight and convinced us to get torrija for dessert which was not too big but finished us off. She also shouted after us when I forgot my bag - 10/10 service thanks so much!!
Excellent restaurant in Javea with amazing views. The food was lovely, also plenty of gluten free options such as the piementos de padron for starters and the fish of entrecote as mains. The waiter offered us a special allergen menu and was very kind
