"Todo muy bien. Llegamos tarde para comer y, aún así, nos hicieron hueco. La comida tradicional muy buena, ubicación inigualable (comes con los pies en la arena) y servicio muy bueno. Muy agradable y recomendable. Especial mención al hombre mayor (imagino que es el dueño) que nos trató súper bien, nos ha alegrado el día"

"Pedimos una paella por encargo, muy rica, no es la paella típica de cualquier sitio (estamos en Galicia) muy rica de sabor, las croquetas caseras riquísimas y los calamares ricos. Especial mención a que lo regenta una familia que es especialmente amable y rápidos en el servicio. Volveremos a por esa paella."

"La atención de los camareros fue perfecta, nos dieron una mesa con el mar justo debajo. No teníamos reserva y aun así nos dieron la opción de poder pedir antes que una mesa con muchos comensales para no tener que esperar a nuestra comida. Volveríamos sin dudarlo a este lugar, el mejor de la isla sin ninguna duda."

"Pasamos por allí de casualidad y conseguimos comer casi de milagro, pero sin duda una maravilla de sitio, recomendable llamar antes y reservar para asegurarte de no quedarte sin sitio porque merece muchísimo la pena, tienen un marisco riquísimo, la cocina es espectacular y el servicio rápido. Son muy amables aún teniendo en cuenta que siempre están hasta arriba. El entorno es paradisíaco. Parada obligatoria!"
