Pradillo - Barbate

Great service, we didn't had reservation restaurant was full, waiter, offered to wait and have some drinks while we wait for a table, brought us complimentary tapas . Tuna and octopus was perfectly cooked.

Bitterly disappointed! We tried to book this place for our anniversary, as we read some great reviews and it was also recommended by our hotel as the perfect place for a special dinner. At first it said it was closed, but on the day said it was open. I emailed them straight away to book. We hadn 't heard for a while so popped in on our way back to the hotel. We got a very blunt 'no ' from the waiter and he was quite rude, so we left very disappointed, perhaps management needs to do some training as this behaviour stops people from booking another day. That should have been a sign right there of what was to come and I wish we had written it off. We later got an email to say they had found a space for us due to a cancellation. In order to be accommodating we let them choose the time for us and we were now very excited to go. When we arrived at 9pm the restaurant was empty! We had a salad to start, it was ok, nothing special. I had some fish alone on a plate with some barely cooked vegetables that I couldn 't eat on the side, for the princely sum of 31€! The fish tasted nice, but not exceptional and there was no seasoning, it was plain and boring. I was also brought a gluten free roll in its wrapper, not exactly a fancy dinner. My husband had steak which he liked, but just a few odd chips put on the side. The food was nothing like the photos online. It wasn 't nicely presented and to be honest we have had better at other restaurants in town for half the price. For this reason we left without having a dessert. The restaurant is lacking any ambience and it felt like we were sat in a caravan awning! We work in hospitality ourselves, so do not like giving a bad rating, but unless we give direct feedback they cannot make changes. We recognise that the staff during the evening were nice and some of the food was ok, so the stars are only really for these things, although no mention was made of our anniversary and they were not very chatty, we speak spanish so there is no excuse for this, so they missed out on getting a higher score from us, as it wasn 't at all special and we couldn 't wait to leave. We would not recommend this restaurant, save your money and go somewhere else!

Great fish dishes and the best restaurant in this village

Otro descubrimiento. la fritura de pescado de locura, el guiso de garbanzos muy bueno y en general nos encantó. Además los camareros tenían mucha paciencia con nosotros y no lo hicimos fácil. Gracias por el trato y la cocina. altamente recomendado.

La comida es excepcional, el servicio es rápido y el restaurante muy agradable. ciertamente uno de los mejores lugares para comer en el atún zahara.
