"Excellent sea food restaurant! Everything we ordered was good, and especially the tuna, swordfish and fried calamaris were really good. Casual and local place, and can be a bit noisy with all the people there. Seemed very popular. Very friendly and helpful staff. The menu is only in Spanish, but our waiter helped us and gave good recommendations. Reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend."

"Went here on a Sunday afternoon. The place was packed but we put our name down on the waiting list and we were sat at a table in 15 minutes. The service was very professional, the seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection. The waiter selected a nice white wine and he was very attentive considering how busy he was. A place that is well worth a second visit."

"Really lovely, authentic Spanish sea food. Saw all the reviews on Google and just had to come and see it ourselves. I have never had Kingklip before, not even heard of it and now I think it's the most beautiful fish dish I have tasted. We also had Gambas pil pil and Pulpo, both excellent."
