"What a great place to have diner!! WoW. Inside it is slightly cooled with airconditioning, but when we are in Spain, we eat outside! The menu gives lots of choices. Fish, meat, to share...or not, etc. They have a good wine list also. We had a salmon tartare, a starter dish with tuna tataki, carpaccio (in a way we had never eaten it before), what a great combinations of flavours. So very good! We also ate the huevos rotos with little shrimp and jamon iberico and leek. We all find it a bit too salty. One of the kids had the Cienfuegos burger. Very good quality of the meat. 200grs big burger. Good sandwich. Served with 3 separate sauces and home made fries. We drank a rose wine. The one we had chosen wasnt in stock, so for the same price they offered another rose wine. This one was also very good. 100% tempranillo if i am correct. Staff was friendly. Good speed in serving. A bit of time between the meals. We shared all dishes. To finish this good night we had deserts. The cheesecake with strawberry icecream, the brownie with vanilla icecream in a chocolate 'jacket' and an apple pastry with ice cream. As you can read i am very excited about this place. I havent eaten so good in many years here at the Costa del Sol. The prices are reasonable though. Only pitfall is that when we go again they have to meat this standard we have experienced now!! An applause for the kitchen staff. Thanks to the friendly restaurant crew. We go back for sure!"

"An absolute delight of a restaurant and definitely the best in the area and one of the best restaurants in the whole of Malaga and beyond! Everything top class: food (top quality ingridients, preparation, presentation), outstanding service, incredibly stylish but very welcoming atmosphere. We know the place since 5 years and keep returning time after time, the quality remains same high every time (something which speaks volumes about the professionalism and dedication of the owners), and we see continuous improvements of the interior. Just recently the restaurant has undergone a total refurbishment and transformation, absolutely impeccably! Can't give more praise to the owners and the staff, thank you for an amazing experience every time! Will keep returning, already looking forward to the next time!"

"We were a party of 4 for dinner. We ordered different precorses and a main course each. None of us got vine but they seem to have a big collection. One of us chose French fries with the steak, and this is served in the style of Mac Donald's fries. The vegetables did also leave some room for improvements. There are so many options of French fries out there that looks soffisticated, and tons of ways to e.g. put it in a basket or something. The meat and foot in general was great, and I would give 5 stars next time I will eat there, if they have raised the presentation and the quality of the vegetables and French fries. The precourses had a good size and the maincorses was as expected for a higher priced restaurant were quality is above quantity. We were all full when we left :-) We used 200€ plus tips, with no beer or wine, only water and softdrinks. Waiters were very good, and gave a good service. And the my personal irritation with restaurants that is high on price. Dont serve me the small softdrinks to get me to buy more of them, the price of the food should easily cover so you serve a big cola, with no need to charge more drinks ;-) We will come again, this is for sure one of the top restaurants in Alhaurin de la torre!"
