The owner was a complete and utter asshole. The only reason that I didn't completely go off on him for the way that he was treating my students was because I was in complete disbelief and don't speak Spanish fluently enough to do my response justice. I wanted to cancel our orders immediately - but he could not be found to do so. No food is worth the way that my group was treated. I can't believe this restaurant has such high reviews especially with so many other options near by. I WOULD NEVER RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN. Honestly the WORST experience that I've ever had -- I would give a restaurant that gave me food poisoning a higher rating than this place. It's only ONE star because I can't give it ZERO stars.

It tasted different than anything I've had before. Worth the money and I'm already looking forward to going back!

The look and ambience are unique and really out of this world. It is like you are entering a ride at Disney World; it is that unique! But two of the four plates we ordered were served cold ... really just room temperature. But dumplings and curries should be served steaming hot! That totally killed the experience considering the wine was wonderful and the flavors and presentation were upscale. Cold food is just inexcusable. P.S. OMG the desserts are incredible. If I had known I might have skipped the cold food and gone straight to dessert.

The decor is very simple, I like the concrete and steal floor, the glass and steal door, it is a great size, if you seat in the front, you will have a great view of the kitchen. The staffs are not eye candy, but very nice, friendly and easy to chat with. The lights: a bit bright but considering there is the kitchen, it makes sense. Mood: No romantic, but fun Food: excellent The toilets: clean, only one was working that night. The skinny: if you sit in the front room, you are more likely to hear the annoying American accent (my accent) If it is a busy night, the opening of the door can be a drag You need to reserve (it is a fantastic restaurant. It gets fill up quickly.) Would I recommend: the truth is no, I would love to keep it a secret if I live in Valencia, I would only allow people who love good cuisine in.

So definitely, reserve online before coming. The ambiance is very cute and trendy. A rustic theme with mason jar drinks. The service was friendly too. My boyfriend is vegetarian and I do not eat red meat or fish, the waitress did not speak English very well but was able to help us in requesting vegetarian tacos for my boyfriend for the entree and help us maneuver around the menu items we could eat. The only thing I'd say is that service is a little slow here, we had to flag waiters down a few times to finish our order and I had ordered a glass of red wine I had to remind them about twice but it was a very busy night. Lastly, the food was delicious. They have a prefixe sort of menu set up. For 12.90 euros, you get a starter, an entree, and a dessert, and water. It's a great deal for the amount of food and quality of food you get. We got the patatas bravas, and bread with a cheese/sweet jam spread, which was so good. Next we had the vegetarian tacos and teriyaki chicken also very good and savory, the portions were kind of small for entrees but considering you're getting dessert as well, we didn't mind. And finally, the cheesecake for dessert was sooo creamy and delicious with an amazing graham cracker crust. Overall, this was one of our favorite dinner spots in Valencia and we'll definitely be coming back!

Fortunately, the greeter told us he could give us a table, but he would need the table in an hour. Many of the tables had "reserved" signs on them. The service was very good, and the girl who helped us was friendly. I enjoyed the Patatas Saona as an appetizer. The Hamburguesa Saona was tasty, but I realized I'm not exactly a fan of hamburgers in Spain. For dessert I had chocolate cake. It was kind of like fudge on a graham cracker crust, but it was delicious. My daughter and I were able to finish in just under an hour, the server took care of the bill at our table (with the credit card machine), and we were on our way. Loved the decor, by the way.

It was kind of like - get you napkins ready, we are about to serve you some seafood. You order with a menu like going to a sushi place. They give you a translation menu so that you know what you are ordering and give you plenty of time to make your selections. We have the octopus salad and it was amazing. The garlic shrimp were... okay. I little over cooked honestly. But the mussels were super tender with amazingly light flavored broth and the fried squid was very well cooked. I was very pleased with our meal!
