The outside part is very beautiful. You can see the water from your seat and it is very convenient to go with family and friends. Good environment.

La comida muy buena ,la chimenea confortable y el camarero muy amable. Los niños se pidieron un arroz caldoso que estaba para chuparse los dedos y nosotros nos pedimos unas chuletas de cordero y un gazpacho manchego muy bueno. Las vistas muy bonitas y todo genial

Tras haber intentado comer en otros lugares y que nos dijeran que estaban completos de mala manera, llegamos a este restaurante. ¡Que suerte que no hubiera sitio! Desde que entramos la camarera fue encantadora, el clima es muy acogedor, con una chimenea en el centro. Pedimos arroz caldoso y natillas de postre, todo delicioso. Volvería sin dudarlo!
