Occasionally an unexpected invitation arrives for dinner, or a party, and you have no idea how the evening is going to turn out, but life is an adventure so my philosophy is “Go for it”. I was not too sure if I was going to be up to par because I had been to a late night party the night before and parties in Spain tend to last until the next day as a matter of course. However, the ambiance, service, menu and good friends were all delightful and I was able to quickly get into the ‘enjoy myself ‘ mode.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten my glasses so I was dependent upon my friends to read the menu to me so that I could choose the dishes that I wanted. Of course this was easier in the telling than in the doing. The menu was so extensive that I experienced great difficulty in remembering all the dishes that were available, and we were just at the starters part of the menu. All the items sounded mouth-watering but I managed to be decisive, although the decision was not an easy one because of the competing alternatives.
My friend had originally ordered a table on the garden terrace overlooking the sea, but as it had decided it would rain we were quickly assigned to the garden room part of the restaurant, overlooking the swimming pool. Good, but not quite as stunning as the Mediterranean.
The weather had a change of heart and it decided to stop raining and my friends decided that they preferred Plan A, i.e. dining on the garden terrace. The transition was conducted smoothly without fuss. Our drinks, etc. were brought to us as though this was an everyday occurrence and we continued with our conversations and awaited our main courses.
I had the same experience with the main dishes. There was a plethora of choices, all very tempting but I eventually chose Sea Bass. My friends chose a richly flavoured lamb dish and commented on how good it tasted, so have no fear if you decide to eat there. All of the dishes are cooked to order so sit back and enjoy yourself between dishes.
What I particularly enjoyed in addition to the lovely food was the delightful service which was unobtrusive, but excellent. We were never kept waiting, it was courteous without undue formality and above all else, it was friendly.
I cannot comment on the price because I was a guest, but I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant if you want to treat yourself or a loved one – or even special friends to a night out. We eventually left just after one o’clock in the morning, and still were not rushed nor lights turned out as some sort of hint. I would not hesitate to recommend this reataurant for a social and gastronomic experience worth remembering. Long may such restaurants flourish.

We were greeted with a smile and sat at a table of our choice. Inside the décor is Chinese, quite luxurious but not overbearing. The only complaint was the consistent background muzak of pan pipes, which after 2 and a half hours was starting to grate on my nerves!
The menu was overly-extensive – a book in its own right – so our party of three decided to settle on the Set Menu for 4 Persons at 54 Euros. This set menu comprised of seven different starters, including Dim Sum, Peking duck and spare ribs. The restaurant manager then came over to our table to ask if we would like to have a break and wait 15 minutes or so for the main courses. I replied that I thought I had already eaten the main courses! What followed was a struggle in the fact that the starters had been ample enough. The main courses consisted of delicacies such as chicken in oyster sauce, beef in a rich dark sweet sauce and king prawns – all accompanied by platters of special fried rice and separate vegetables. All the food was served piping hot, and we were given a change of silver cutlery for each course.
The food, service and atmosphere were faultless. However, the house red wine and coffee were inferior. The deserts were of the pre-packed frozen variety when I had expected fresh fruit, and something more in keeping quality-wise to the rest of the meal.
We did have an enjoyable evening, but be warned that if you are going to eat here all the portions are on the bulky side so wear something lose around the waist!
I shall definitely be eating here again, and it’s certainly an ideal place for a special occasion such as a birthday party.
Access and parking is not a problem, the entire restaurant is clean, comfortable and well-lit, and the staff speak many languages.
