Please be aware that reservations for A Cofradia de Rinlo are a must (no ifs, ands or buts). Also,…read morereservations can only be made in person or over the phone. Even with a reservation, the restaurant will call a couple of times to confirm your arrival. I think this has something to do with ensuring that the arroz caldoso de marisco (if you order this dish) is properly prepared upon your arrival (i.e., so the rice isn't over cooked).
We had a pretty nice experience at the restaurant. Although the arroz caldoso de marisco is listed for 2 people, the portions are very generous, and I think three maaaaybe four people could share the dish. Maybe four people could share the dish if other items from the menu are ordered. The dish arrived packed with clams, shrimp, and a split lobster. I think there might have been some other things in there. ;)
Overall, service was decent. It wasn't super-friendly, but our servers were not rude The restaurant appears to be super popular, so I think the service team is in constant go, Go, GO mode.
While everything went well with our meal, I was a bit annoyed by the flies. However, I think that comes with the territory of eating in a semi-open air restaurant that is near the sea. Also, it probably didn't help that we were sitting near the lobster tank.
