"This little restaurant, we only found by chance, looking through Google reviews of over 4.5 (this was 4.7). Booking was recommended and they managed to accommodate us at 7:45pm.
There was a good range of food available on the menu, but in addition there were 'specials' available, based on seasonal availability, so something different for returning guests.
Both servers were attentive but non intrusive.
We had a starter of delicious king prawns in a delicate coconut sauce, which we shared thinking ahead to desserts.
Our mains were Lamb cutlets in a red wine jus and Chicken 'Serano" in a white sauce, accompanied by a lovely range of sharing vegetables. Absolutely delicious!
Then we did get tempted by the desserts, a banoffee pie and apple tart were polished of after a little break from our mains.
A lovely evening, with excellent food which we highly recommend others to seek out and try.
(Just a couple of streets back from the Puerto Colon harbour area)"
