Abel saved the day!!! We had wonderful service from a very helpful waiter called Abel. As an English family our Spanish maybe isnt what it should be and we were struggling to order but luckily Abel was on hand to help us throughout. The food was good and the setting lovely, but most of all the service, from Abel, was great.

I want to sincerely thank the amazing person (Abel) who took care of us all evening. He was incredibly warm, genuinely friendly, and had a real gift for making people feel welcome. From the moment we sat down, he made sure we had the best experience possible. He even brought us a few complimentary tapas so we could try their homemade chorizo — and wow, it was absolutely delicious. You could tell everything was done with care and pride. At first, I was a bit hesitant because the place is so close to the cathedral, and unfortunately, many spots in touristy areas tend to overcharge or feel a bit like a trap. But not here. It was fair, honest, and full of heart. We had such a great experience, we forgot to leave a tip, which I truly regret. Wanted to come back in the morning but had a bus to take, I really hope he’ll be there when I return, because he made the whole evening special. If you’re visiting and looking for a place that treats you like more than just a customer, this is it. Highly recommended!
