100% recomendado!! Muy buena relación calidad/precio. Fuimos a comer de casualidad (aunque ya habíamos ido hace muchos años). La atención fue de primera, nos atendieron muy rápido y el servicio fue muy bueno. Todo lo que comimos nosotros estaba espectacular (fuimos 2 y un bebé) y pedimos media de queso fresco (muy suave), media de champiñones que estaban muy muy buenos, un pollo con papas para compartir, un postre, dos cocacolas, una botella de agua grande, 2 barraquitos y servicio de pan con alioli. He de decir que las medias parecían una ración completa y que estaban buenísimas. El local es bastante amplio, tiene unas vistas espectaculares y los baños estaban muy limpios (ambos). Nos pareció bastante bien de precio, pagamos 38€. Volveremos!!

Ambiente agradable y tranquilo, con decoración relativa al vino y las uvas, desde el fondo del local, se aprecia una imponente vista del norte de la isla y del mar. Trato amable y familiar del personal. Muy buena comida, las garbanzas en su punto con un toque ahumado, chopitos crujientes y deliciosos así como los boquerones jugosos.
