18/09/2025: Excellent cuisine, desperate service Let's be clear: you come here to eat, and that's it. Because for everything else, it would take the patience of a saint. When finally, after a seemingly agonizing wait, your dish arrives, you almost forget about your nerves. The fried seafood is the real deal: dry, crispy, and tastes like fish, not stale oil. And even the first courses, like the seafood pasta, are thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients. The problem is getting to that dish. We had made a reservation, but it felt like we'd made it for fun. With the place packed, we waited over an hour just for the first courses, with so much noise you couldn't hear and the waiters rushing around like crazy, without a shred of organization. The wait will make you hungry. My advice? If you want to come, do it when it's quiet, perhaps out of season. Maybe then you can enjoy cooking without getting bitter.
