We happen to get a table in the lower room and in my opinion, it's a better ambient area. Amazing view from every table. Our wait staff was incredible. Friendly and insightful. Gave us great recommendations. I fell in love with the crystal bread starter. Sirloin was very good and the whit chocolate dessert was fabulous. The crystal bread I could eat every day and it stole the show for me. I'm going to come back as often as possible. read more

Stunning views but the food and service fell short of expectations. We reserved a table at the front row of the patio which has a 20% additional charge, which we were fine with because we were celebrating a special occasion. You would think paying extra to be seated in a nicer area would translate into a little bit more attention, but our waitress did not seem to remember we existed most of the time, was not exactly friendly and said very few words when she did interact with us. She informed us that the restaurant did not offer any cocktails, and then I listened as the table behind me ordered an aperol spritz. The food was pretty severely under seasoned, we thought every dish we ordered was just totally lacking any salt at all, the only exceptions to this were the complimentary gazpacho shots the waitress delivered upon our arrival, and the fatty tuna, which was cooked perfectly. The marinated beef over rib was cooked perfectly, but unseasoned. The sauce it was served in also wasn't really seasoned, it was a very sweet tomato sauce but would have popped more with a touch of salt. The bread, oil and salt trio was very good - our favorite was the curry salt. The lemon pie for dessert was the best thing we had all night, and almost made up for the rest of the experience. Honestly, we had a meal the following night at regular place in town, and the food (and service!!) was so good that we ate the rest of the lomo saltado straight out of the takeaway box when we got back to the hotel after a show, and it was incredible. You can do better than eating here, there are a million other Carmens with the same beautiful view and better food and service. This place is somehow scraping by on its reputation and not the reality of the experience. read more

Food was mediocre. It was the worst meal of my entire Spain trip. Our waiter was good. We showed up on time and place was mostly empty but they had us sit and wait for a bit. The host was rude and even though we had booked the front row seats he placed us elsewhere and I had to ask to be moved. Bigger issue was that in the wait and move I left my sunglasses at one of the tables. I asked the waiter at the first table area and he did not know, then i asked my waiter and he did not know, i asked the host and he did not know. I started walking towards the waiting area table and then all of a sudden the host opens the drawer pulls out my sunglasses and said are these it? I mean i asked you if you had found a pair of sunglasses. These are a specific folding persol pair and they were put in the drawer folded which is not the way I had them so someone looked at them folded them and put them in the drawer. Had I taken their word for it and not pressed the matter i would not have received them back. The views were beautiful but there are other restaurants offering similar views and on my next trip I would choose another one. Not impressed with the taste of food, the value of food for price and the service. read more

Tips: We did early reservation. Didn't pay 10% for the guarantee view. Most restaurant should have decent view besides inside AC seating. Soft shell crab - Love the way they fried it, very crunchy. The sauce is ok. Don't care much for it. Risotto with duck - Liked how they crisp up the duck slice. Risotto was ok. Filet mignon with truffle - Very thick steak so it lacks flavor besides beef. I would prefer salt and pepper to add flavor. Truffle done in front of you, not bad. All in all, it's a good steak. Th Faked egg - Delightful. The passion fruit syrup looks like egg yolk. It's really well done. Looks like a real egg read more

We had a disappointing lunch here. The view was fabulous and the restaurant nicely arranged. The service was very slow - only two waiters (we were told that one of the regulars was unavailable that day) but then there were not so many tables. The menu looked interesting, with a heavy focus on fiash and tuna in particular, but in the end I felt the dishes were a bit pretentious with more focus on display than taste -- and the servings were SMALL. Tom Yum Goong was presented with the dried noodles heaped on top of the flavorings, they melted down as the soup was poured over. But the not Tom Yum we get in good Thai restaurants in the US, and not at all spicy (which was good for the child who ordered it, but Tom Yum Goong SHOULD be spicy). Sam and I both had beef dishes, he the carrilleras and me the slow-cooked picanha. Flavor was OK. My spouse had sturgeon but found it unimpressive and, again, small portions. The one great dish was Nafisa's -- Spicy Tuna on Wakame and Daikon seaweed I definitely do not recommend this place -- except for the view read more

Overall, my wife and I enjoyed the experience. We really enjoyed it because of the atmosphere. You get an amazing view of Alhambra and the outdoor patio is relaxing, We strongly recommend to go at sunset. Amazing for date night. Service was good and they were warm. They were just understaffed. So a little wait for service but it's worth the wait to take in the sights. The food was ok for the price point. Flavor was mediocre but nothing was bad. The wine was amazing. It was so good that we bought a bottle. Because of the views, atmosphere and welcoming service, I strongly recommend for a date night if you are staying in Granada. read more

I recently ate at the Carmen Mirador de Aixa restaurant. While the views of the Alhambra and Granada were beautiful, the food was mediocre and the service was just okay. The menu was trying to be "sophisticated" to justify the pricing, but it didn't work. read more

It is our first night in Granada and all the places overlooking the Alhambra were reserved out already. We stumbled my this place and they were able to seat us (party of 7). The view is spectacular and the food accompanied that. Of course you are paying for the view more than the food. They started off with bread and watermelon ceviche. The ceviche was a nice refreshing touch. I got the duck breast in mint sauce which was cooked perfectly. I did wish they had better steak knife. My wife got the beef skewer with a prawn. That too was very delicate and tasty. My son got the grilled baby lamb chops which he could have eaten more if those lamb chops were much bigger. For dessert, my wife got the flan and son got the brownie. Both came with a scoop of ice cream and I could smell the richness of the brownie where I sat. All in all, great place with a fitting great view. read more

The view - the staff - the meal - all above average. Although more expensive than other places we have visited, well worth the extra Euros ! The amuse bouche (tapa) was a creamy Avocado, Almond whipped "Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese" mousse that was absolutely delicious. We had 2 soups (Asparagus with almonds & egg yolk and the Andalusian Garlic with egg yolk - the later being the "winner", although both being very good. For entrees we had the Lamb Chops & the Beef Filet over a pumpkin purée - again delicious. With a bottle of moderately priced wine the bill came to around $115 US. Come for the view - stay for the food ! read more

Great views, good food, good service. We dropped by without reservation around 9.30pm and were seated promptly at a table with wonderful views of Alhambra. We ordered the Andalusian garlic soup (okay, nothing memorable), oxtail stew (delicious), cod with peppers (generous portion, very tasty), chocolate brownie with ice cream (okay) and apple pastry (not bad). The food was good but not amazing enough for us to make another trip back. Ps. Ladies,bring a shawl or light jacket as it gets quite chilly as the temperature dips. read more

La vista y el servicio espectaculares, inversamente proporcional a la comida. Van a pagar por la vista. Pedi un atun especialidad de la casa, pero mas vale que no. Sabor y presentacion horrible. Entrada de ensalada y Hongos igualmente mediocre. Dicen trufado, pero ni sabe ni huele a trufa. Excepto por la vista, totalmente decepcionante la comida. read more

Great easy online booking system which made arranging dinner easy. Terrific view and good food. Staff spoke great English and menu available in English too. Had a nice sangria and my partner and I decided to share plates starting with broad beans and ham which was fantastic, a yummy gespatcho (cold tomato soup) and finally oxtail stew. All washed down with a bottle of local red wine. We commented that the food was really good for a place with such a fab view. Certainly a great combination for a fab night out. Best time your meal for around sunset if you want to maximize the view, but still worth it if you have to book early or later! read more

Dinner was awesome, service was good and the view spectacular. We started with cheese sample, olives and bread. The blue cheese was delicious as well as the goat cheese and other local selections. My partner and I had the beef skewer with a prawn in a Rosemary Date sauce. Our buddy had grilled lamb chops. We sampled each others plates. The beef was tender and prepared medium rare. The prawn was a bit over cook, but seemed to be more of a garnish. Lamb chops were slightly charred and quite tasty. We also had the Ajo (garlic) soup served hot with pine nuts. The prices were a bit more than local restaurants, but the overall experience was worth it. read more

Stunning. Every five star review you read here is spot on .. including this one. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived at opening to the moment we walked out the door a few hours later. We had a table right on the rails and enjoyed watching the Alhambra change colors with the sky as we observed sunset and then subsequent lighting of her facade. There was no rush for us to leave; it's obvious they are okay with one seating per table, which was awesome. Calm, quiet, tranquil .. nothing loud here; music very faint .. just people enjoying each other, the view, and their meals. We were the only table with children so I suspect that may not be the norm. Dress code was all over the place .. dress and heels; jeans; coat and tie. We started with the jamon (best we've had in Spain) and shared the caprese -- excellent. My son had the garlic soup, daughter shared the lamb chops with me, husband had the kabob. For dessert we shared the apple and brownie, both to die for. There is no parking, so walk over or cab it. We were staying nearby and walked. Thank you for a lovely evening! read more

This was the most adorable little restaurant tucked away in the country side of Granada. It's all open/outdoor patio seating, and the view of the Alhambra and its surrounding landscape is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! You can get the best pictures and not have to deal with the crowds of tourists at all the other good viewing spots in the city. We went at around sunset and it was just magical. We ordered the duck and the beef fillet skewers w/ prawns, both of which were delicious. The service was also great, and the whole vibe of the place was just so romantic and special and really made our whole trip to Granada just perfect. If you want to get away from the bustling center of the city, I would definitely recommend this place, you won't regret it! read more

Though the food was good, the prices were a little on the high side. That being said, the extra that you are paying are exclusively because of the views. And what views! I would recommend going before the sun sets, so you can watch the sunset as it hits the alhambra, and then you will also experience the alhambra lit up at night. Amazing. As for the service, everyone was friendly and helpful. The food was not bad, but it wasn't amazing either. Like I said, you can definitely have better for the prices, but in all, it is still worth it because of the views! read more
