"After a wonderful experience with a lovely waitress and great food 2 years ago, we returned with friends last night, the service was appalling, food inedible, and a very large bill. Will never go again. What happened to that wonderful atmosphere and great food of 2 years ago"

"When we have come to Benicassim in the past this is the one bar we always looked forward to coming back to. Not the cheapest place we have ever been to but the place had so much character and the wine never disappoints. However this year it appears that the staff must have gone on a special course on how not to smile and greet the customers. What a miserable lot they are which is a shame as it is still such a lovely place. Unfortunately we will not be going back here as there are so many other places where they appreciate our custom."
