We did the Christmas Eve dinner. The restaurant is gorgeous! But the meal was just ok- and the service was strangely slow for a set menu. For the price and a set menu- it was a little disappointing. I have a feeling on a regular day - it’s probably a better experience.

This is on a gated golf course, which you need to be picked up from and taken to the restaurant from parking. It's a beautiful location. There was literally no light except 2 tiny candles on the table. No way to see the food on the table. The pumpkin appetizer was good, pizza was bland, fish curry was mediocre. Flan was good. It is not expensive, but it is underwhelming. The service was charming and unpretentious.

The food and locations is exceptional but it has flaws. I had to wait 40min for water that is ridiculous. Was 3hrs in the restaurant for no reason. Staff are nice but slow they look like they smoked weed or something. Love the ambience and the food was on point, but the service is terrible.

El sitio espectacular de bello. La comida buena, aunque no había todo lo que mencionaba el menú de buffet. Lamentablemente en servicio 0, fui en 3 ocasiones a pedir que un mesero nos atendiera para las bebidas ( solo un vaso de agua a media hora de estar comiendo) y nunca nos atendieron. Finalmente tuve que ir a solicitar la cuenta y pedir que eliminaran las bedbidas que nunca recibí.

The selection of food was minimal for a buffet. Bread, hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, beans salad, olives, platanutre, boiled potatoes. As a vegetarian that’s all I could eat. They also had turkey and pernil for the meat eaters. 2 different desserts but no pumpkin pie. It seemed the staff were overwhelmed. The surroundings are lovely though.

Food was mostly very good but the service is very slow. The quality of the wait staff also varied significantly, with some being incredibly attentive and cordial, and others being a bit dry and curt.

The food was decent, but took way too long to come. It wasn't completely packed as there were many tables available inside. After waiting for a while, our entrees finally came, but we sort of lost our appetite by then and was eager to get back to our hotel which was a good 40 minutes away. There is no coffee for dinner which surprised me. So we could not have coffee with our dessert. :(
