"Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 (Don’t sit next to the terrace door) Notes: Overall I was satisfied with the food and service for a restaurant in a mall. There was only one waiter who spoke English. I liked the food, maybe not amazing but it was decent. I would just suggest fixing the tables near the door in the terrace because every time someone walked past me. It felt like an earthquake Maybe its the flooring and not the table. But anyways just keep that in mind for next time"

"The restaurant was full for lunch, we sat at the bar and then moved to a table. Lester was a great server, helping us when we needed our steak cooked a bit more. Spanish steak is usually rare to raw."

"Noeme is a fantastic waitress - so professional, charming and polite. The restaurant is a “must visit” venue for traditional Spanish food - lots of wonderful fish/shellfish in a “old school” fashion but with a very modern twist - something for everyone."
