This was one of our favorite meals on our 10-day Spanish and Portuguese road trips!…read more We had the following: - FRIED MARINATED SEA BASS, LETTUCE, PICO DE GALLO AND ADOBO MAYONNAISE - FRIED SQUID SANDWICH W. ALIOLI AND SPICY SAUCE - RAF TOMATO W. CANNED TUNA BELLY AND ONION - GRILLED ARTICHOKES W. SHERRY WINE REDUCTION, EGG YOLK AND PORK JOWL Everything was absolutely delicious - our favorite was the marinated sea bass. It came with lettuce leaves perfect for making a taco. The tomato salad was also delicious and I loved the tuna in it - the only non-perfect part of the meal was that there was a sticker on one of the tomatoes - ha! (And also they forgot one of our dishes and it came out at the very end after we had to remind them but no biggie). The service was also very nice - I was trying to practice my spanish and our server was very patient and kind. Loved this restaurant so much!

Our guide told us Ronda has Michelin starred and rated restaurants and Google said this place was…read moreMichelin recommended with reasonable prices so I stopped for a bite. Everything was well prepared and Pedro provided excellent service with a smile. He also helped me with selections. Liked that they have indoor/outdoor seating with a nice ambiance. Nice days it's hard to get seated outside, but I had no problems getting seated inside.

This was absolutely glorious. Need a reservation to get in. Started with some anchovies on cheese…read moreand crackers, and crispy fresh salmon tacos which were kinda like ceviche. Then the charcoal grilled rice of the day (steak). Beef tenderloin was so tender so rare so perfect. Grilled chicken was also amaze.

My Food tour meeting point was here and I thought this would be the first stop but not so. I…read moreenjoyed my Cafe con Leche before the Tour though. Decided to come back the next evening based on the menu selections and the service from having my Al fresco coffee. A good sized interior with a display case showing some enticing fresh veggies. I decided to sit outside again although it was cool-they do have heat lamps which worked well for the cool evening. Complimentary Green Olives went well with my glass of Verdejo (Jose Pariente). Delicious and one of my favorite Spanish Varietals. So many tempting options on the menu and asked for recommendations. Started with the Scamorza cheese and Aubergine Croquettes-cheese was decadent and the Aubergine Croquette was a first -enjoyed both. I was asked if I was sure if I had enough room when I ordered the Spicy Bombs-how could I not try this one-didn't disappoint with the Chipotle Mayo giving it just the right kick. For main, it was Galacian Octopus Tempura. Octopus Galacian style is one of my favorite dishes but never had it as Tempura. Taste was delicious but Octopus was slightly overcooked. Didn't need dessert but based on the description of the Chocolate cake, had to try. More of a chocolate pie vs cake-unique and tasty. Service was exceptional throughout. Had an amazing meal of small plates here. Make this stop for their Spicy Bombs, Croquettes and outdoor atmosphere.

If you like to drink, the Jamison pours are heavy. It's very affordable for the quality. Cons: -The menu rotates quite a bit so items I had before and on this trip aren't on the current menu so I can't list what I had. My food recommendations will be short. -I would lean away from the Asian inspired dishes. While not bad, it's far from their best. Pros: In general, most of their dishes have a twist so part of the fun is trying things. But my must-have item has always been on the menu. It's... -Pan Cristal con Pimientos Asados y Anchoas de Santoña aka Crystal Bread with Roasted Peppers and Anchovies from Santoña They've changed it from toast to a thin crispy cracker. I'd still try it. Super umami! Maybe a touch too salty but it was so good I just didn't care. The roasted pepper melts in your mouth and don't fear the anchovy, this was amazing. -Patatas bravas Catalina - A classic done well, no disappointments here. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant is nice without being pretentious. Alberto still works there as the manager! While he didn't remember me I remembered him and he was nice as ever.

From the moment we arrived, the service stood out -- the waiters and the boss boy were truly incredible, attentive, and on top of every detail. Their professionalism made us feel very well cared for. The food was overall delicious and full of flavor. The only minor disappointment was the rice in the arroz caldoso con carabineros y langostinos, which was slightly undercooked. That aside, every other dish was truly enjoyable and tasty. On top of that, the setting and views are simply breathtaking, making the whole experience even more special. Despite some of the negative reviews we had seen before coming, our visit was excellent, and we would happily return.

We didn't yelp it first and enjoyed a really nice spinach and chickpeas dish, prawns in garlic, and octopus. We had a nice table outside and the service was pretty prompt.

The place was fine and we enjoyed it but we probably could have done better elsewhere.
