We were approached by very attentive staff and when they found we had no reservation they asked us to wait and within 10 minutes we were directed to table 30 at the front of the restaurant overlooking the road and a great sea view, by chance the exact table I hoped we could get as we approached .
We were looked after by the assistant manager, Jonathan, who was brilliant all evening.
We started with cocktails ant the Margarita Royal was amazing, and now my wife’s favourite drink, and I had a rum based cocktail which was also amazing (can’t remember it’s name but came in a silver goblet )
There was no rushing and we took our time reviewing the menu whilst listening to the pianist who was brilliant (did requests too via an app)
Best get to the food,
Starters - I had the scrambled egg with Wagu black pudding on sour dough toast and my wife had prawns on guacamole on toast. All I can say was wow!! The portions were huge and unbelievably tasty and both said were the best starters we’ve had, and that’s saying something. Normally I’m nagging to taste hers but not this time as I was fully engrossed in mine (photos attached)
Mains - I had the lamb shank on mashed potatoes enfused with courgettes and the wife had beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. We added a couple of sides of onion rings and gratin spinach. Both
Mains arrived and were so tasty and big portions, didn’t need the sides but were amazing!! Eyes too big again.
One comment about the lamb shank was that it could have been a tad hotter, however that did distract from enjoying it.
The food was accompanied by a bottle of sparkling water and a very pleasant bottle of Tempranillo.
We were offered a sweet or coffee on the house but we were so full we couldn’t. To our surprise Jonathan had not charged us for our cocktails instead!!!
Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. We loved it so much we’re going back for our last evening, booking this time read less

Probably never is the answer to that. The five course vegan tasting menu is well worth the cost as it is so rare to find one no matter where you are in the world. Highly recommended read less
