I visited the Zenit restaurant for lunch on a holiday, during a busy period. It's a well-equipped restaurant, capable of accommodating both indoor and outdoor seating, and particularly family-friendly thanks to its children's play area with a slide, playhouse, and swing. I enjoyed some of the dishes: the mussels were generously portioned, well-prepared, and visually pleasing, while the sea bream was excellent in flavor and preparation. The prices are reasonable, and the final bill was fair, not at all excessive for the amount ordered.
However, the overall experience was disappointing, especially for those arriving from out of town and not members of the adjacent beach club or restaurant. Parking is not available to non-residents, and the lack of any security guard or valet makes it a completely disorientating experience. At the entrance, you have to find a barely visible button to call inside to get past the barrier, while at the exit, a rusty chain forces you to maneuver and exit from the entrance. The situation is exacerbated by the new direction of the cycle path on the right, which makes maneuvering even more difficult and dangerous at the exit. On a busy holiday, the lack of dedicated staff outside indicates insufficient organization. Furthermore, an elderly person with a disability, without a pass, makes everything difficult.
Table service was slow and unprofessional. The staff, made up of a young man and a young woman, had to simultaneously manage numerous tables inside and outside, as well as a large refreshment stand, with no apparent effective coordination. Orders were taken on notepads, which led to obvious oversights: the seafood salad, ordered as an appetizer, was completely forgotten and served only after everyone else had finished their dishes, without any apology or justification from the waiter. This made the experience unstable and frustrating.
From a culinary perspective, the quality was uneven. The seafood salad, in particular, was meager in quantity, with very tough and rubbery cuttlefish, excessively oily, and flavorless, evidently prepared in advance. Overall, some dishes were satisfying, while others left much to be desired.
Hygiene also presented critical issues. The restaurant's bathroom was dirty; although toilet paper was provided, there was no paper towel at all, and the hand dryer didn't work, forcing me to leave with still-wet hands. This is unacceptable for a restaurant.
In conclusion, while acknowledging some positive aspects, such as the children's play area, the reasonable price, and the deliciousness of certain dishes, the organizational, service, and hygiene deficiencies make the experience unacceptable for those unfamiliar with the place. I would have preferred to pay a little more for more attentive, quick, and professional service, as well as greater overall care. For these reasons, I don't think I'll return or recommend it to others. I owed you this, I repeat, from my point of view.
