"Estábamos de vacaciones y se nos hizo la hora de cenar, y nos apetecía chino, vimos el restaurante y perfecto, vamos a probar!! La comida está bien, no para echar cohetes, las empanadillas chinas pequeñas y no parecen caseras sino congeladas. Los arroces y tallarines correctos y de cantidad bastante bien. Las costillas a la sal y pimienta suelen servirse troceadas en dados pero aquí era en tira, lo que acabas usando las manos. Éramos 4 (2 adultos+2 adolescentes) y sólo nos dejaron 2 sobres de toallitas limón para limpiarnos tras comer dichas costillas. El tofu con setas chinas y bambú correcto, quizás le faltaban setas, venían 4 trocitos. La señora que nos tomó nota muy seria, le preguntamos si la cantidad de comida le parecía bien de cantidad para 4 y nos dijo que bueno....sólo habéis pedido 1 plato de carne-carne (las costillas), como dando a entender que sin más platos de carne no nos llenaríamos..... Para acabar diciendo: ni mucho ni poco. Y se marchó con la comanda.... Muy simpática no era, la verdad. Pedimos 7 platos, éramos 4, era cena. Pues sí que fue más que suficiente!!! Pero le cambió la simpatía cuando aparecieron debían ser clientes de cada año, mostró una sonrisa que no pensé que fuera capaz y un comentario como que se alegraba de verles de nuevo tras un tiempo. Me sorprendió. Cenamos en la terraza, tenían los toldos echados y hacía muchísimo calor, no dejaba pasar el aire y fue algo incómodo. Podrían poner un par de ventiladores por lo menos. Luego sales de la terraza a la calle y la temperatura era más fresca. Ya tras pagar, nos levantamos para marchar, quisimos despedirnos, pero nos vieron desde la entrada pero volvieron a agachar la cabeza continuando con lo que hacían y nadie nos dijo nada. Así que simplemente, marchamos "

"This is the restaurant of a hotel in which many of the locals seem to eat. It is located behind the town's Catholic church about two blocks from the ocean. They have a second restaurant under the same name, facing the ocean, which I read in their website that it is run by their two sons. We visited this town because my 3x great grandfather was born baptized here in the early 1800s as well as other ancestors generations before him. Given that we were visiting during the second half of November the town was virtually empty of tourists. The 4 or 5 tables that were occupied were local people. We noticed from the very beginning that the reception was cold and the treatment remained so until we paid and left. There were 4 people serving, a 60ish couple and possibly their two 40ish daughters. At various times the older lady and one of the younger women came by to sit us, take our order and serve us. They were very dry and did not make eye contact. It was as if they did not really want us there. We speak both English and Spanish so language was not a problem. The menu was in Catalan, but we could understand it enough to order. We had fish soup followed by seafood paella, red wine and crema catalana. The food was very good. They were friendly to what seemed to be locals at the other four tables. In order to pay one had to go to the register. The older lady was abrupt in handling the processing of my payment. Unlike every other single place that we have ever paid in Spain, the lady did not allow me to respond to the questions on the credit card gadget, namely, to confirm the total amount, select currency as Euros or U.S. dollars, and finalize the transaction by acceptance. She did it all herself as if I had no choice in the matter. We were never asked if the food was good or anything else. Not even a thank you. The bottom line, although the food was good, I would not eat here unless you like to be poorly treated or live there."
