The place felt enclosed with the furnishings of a simple Spanish pub and the service is hit and miss. While most of the things were done right (Love the constant refilling of the water and the thoughtful gesture of setting up a wooden crate to put one's bag), the service is generally not meticulous. Some of the staffs were friendly while some were not, looking quite grumpy. One example of lack of thoughtfulness: When a crate was needed for another patron's bag, the staff just took my bag and put it in my companion's crate, taking away the crate I was using, without even mentioning about it to me. When the food was served, with exception of the chef who introduced the peppers dish, the other staffs did not bother to introduce the dishes. Not exactly what I expected from a restaurant of this calibre. One more thing, the staff at the reception did not bother to bid farewell to the patrons who were leaving.
Food wise, the dishes are very down-to-earth unlike the ones at Santi which excite one's taste buds. They are good nonetheless, filled with simulating flavours, especially the gazpacho and the peppers. The lobster arroz caldoso (Spanish soupy rice) was very wholesome in taste and texture. Rice pudding is very refreshing in taste but creme catalan is very ordinary (and I do not like the pieces of fruits added inside).
All in all, a decent place to enjoy Spanish fare, if service is not of a big concern.
My Thoughts: Pretty Nice!
This place is no longer in operation.
