Excellent service. All the stuff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself was very comfortable and had amazing view. The food was imaginative and was of high quality. Ample wine selection. Excellent value for money and very worthwhile. Should book in advance as it...is very popular.More

We spontaneously went with two kids and found a real gem. Thank you for the very friendly service and the amazing food.Especially the rabbit was the best I ever had. We will be back!

After years going there from time to time (mostly for the fantastic views and the good memories of the old resturant that used to be there)and reminding myself I’m not coming back, I’m over this restaurant for good. Service is painfully slow, so much that...you are barely hungry anymore when they bring the main dishes. No very pleasant when you visit with children. Waiters are unfriendly and unhelpful, prices are exhobitant for an OK average food. Wine is mediocre at best and they never show you the bottle when you order a single glass. Owner is so full of himself, umpolite and acts like he is doing you a favor for cooking your meal. Somebody should remind them that customers are actually paying for food and not guests in their home. Every year they appear in the news about this and that award but given the experience and the erratic quality of the food it looks to me that those awards are previously paid by as I’ve never got such a poor service in an award winning restaurant. Most of the times you request a window table they tell you it’s booked but after 2 hours nobody occupies those tables that seem to be perpetually reserved for more “suitable” customers, I can understand this can happen once, even twice but not all the time. Save you money and time, there are lot’s of better restaurants in the same road with, maybe, poorer marketing skills but definitely better food and service.More

We had lunch here three times during our five nights nearby. The homegrown produce and wine were excellent. We tried the fish soup, rabbit, fried calamari, onion rings, foie gras pate, two kinds of croquetas and three different salads over our three meals - all...were great. Beautiful views and kind service too.More

Unimaginative and sloppy Service missed out a on serving us several times without being busy. Poorly advised us given diet restrictions. Generally inferior versions of local dishes

High above Santa Ursula sits this small local restaurant. Great view over El Rincon and Puerto de la Cruz. Very good food at reasonable prices. My recommendation is the blood sausage - really delicious. Local wines from Orotava are also recommended.

Amazing food (fresh salads sourced from their own garden). Friendly service. Good covid measures on top of everything. Definitely a required stop for anyone in Tenerife

Had lunch here recently. Food was great. The chocolate mousse is to die for. The view is awesome. Really enjoyable. The only downside for me was the difference in experience with different staff. I interacted with 3 people; 2 were lovely but one I found...standoff-ish and a bit dismissive. Not a big issue but the difference between them was really noticeable.More

I would say food was tasty and nice, but it is overpriced. I do understand, that during COVID time it is difficult to have positive balance, but it is not fair to charge guests for the side dish without letting them know about it. For...me it looked like, that side dish is included, but if you complain about it, they drop it out of the bill without any questions. Comparing dishes with the pictures from TripAdvisor, we noticed, that our dish became 2 times smaller. I do believe, that it is possible to have more fair way of making business.More

Thanks to watching Master Chef UK we have found this amazing restaurant. Gorgeous salads from the garden and unique fish dishes. Relaxed tapas, chocolate mousse to die for! And great views from window seats.
