Undoubtedly, when they open the outside terrace seating for the summer, the already pleasant general atmosphere will improve: I understand they grill the food right out on the terrace. Their signature dish is a soupy rice plate with an assortment of add-ons, such as fish, chicken, or lobster. We had the arroz de bogavante (caldoso) (soupy) rice with lobster]. You can also ask for “dry” (as in not soupy) rice. It was quite good, but the staff does not prepare you well for the mess. Although they provide you with lobster forceps or claw crackers, they only provide one tiny, packaged wet wipe – the kind you sometimes get on airplanes in the “upper” classes – per person. Now eating the lobster – which has been broken up but not de-shelled – requires dipping your hands into the soupy rice (apparently spiced with turmeric) and cracking open the claws, which then splatter every which way, leaving your fingers (and maybe clothes) stained yellow by the turmeric. When we asked for extra napkins (as in regular-sized napkins), we were provided with just one more tiny wet wipe per person. On a more positive note, they do start you off with a free potato appetizer, covered in a mayonnaise aioli sauce. For the first dish, I had a very good avocado salad with anchovies: high-quality anchovies with not a single bone, and the avocado-lettuce combination with dressing was just right. Their dessert menu is unimpressive, so we skipped dessert. The white wine by the glass was a refreshing Verdejo from Rueda. Other than the messy but tasty dish, a very pleasant experience.
