"We saw positive reviews on Google, so we thought we’d come here as opposed to some of the less food-focused spots immediately on the beach. We were incredibly disappointed. While the parklet decor seemed inviting, construction was actively happening next door making it incredibly loud, an unattractive view, and generally unpleasant. We ordered the menu, which indicated it came with water or wine, like normal. Our waiter said the final course was a dessert or coffee, again as normal in Spain. When our bill came: 1) we were told only the sin gas water was included, and we were charged for con gas. Con gas is not only standard, but we were offered either and not told there would be an upcharge. The menu didn’t specify sin gas was the only type of water included. 2) we ordered coffee instead of the dessert, again standard and what we were told was part of the menu options. Instead, we were charged for the coffee separately. We probably should have turned around when we saw only one other table of patrons at the restaurant, but were hopeful based on the reviews. A rookie mistake I wouldn’t normally make, but I got swayed by other reviews indicating better quality food that the other beach fare. Don’t make the same mistake we did — go to one of the other restaurants."

"Tried this spot while visiting Cal Fenals. Not the best view (I was looking at parked cars in the lot) but they do fish well. I couldn't order the fidéua or paella because they require 2 persons minimum. I started with the tuna carpaccio. Portion was large and it was really flavourful. Bacalao was my main, cooked really well, served with alioli on top, grilled veg on the side including padrón peppers. I had melon for dessert, but there were several sweet options including crema catalana. For a 25€ menú, I would have appreciated more bread and coffee to be included, but the fish was fresh and delicious. And although I didn't need it, I was impressed to see a 20€ vegan menu del día as well. Spain is pork heavy, so fir anyone who needs a break, check out Xaloc."

"No suelo poner cinco estrellas, pero la sorrall, las merece. La comida es exquisita y super-hecha platos, considerando que hablamos de un menú de 20€. son platos dignos de cualquier menú de restaurante de alto nivel. la atención de los trabajadores es impecable, no hay palabras para expresar la manera en que ellos le explican la elaboración de su comida... algo único. Te invito a pasar por blanc, y visitar este restaurante."

"We visited a few times on our recent stay. The rump steak was excellent, paella was OK, cannelloni was disappointing not sure what meat the filling was. Turimisu was lovely as was the creme catalan. Its the visually nicest restaurant in the area which is a big attraction and it's always busy."
