This is a decent restaurant in Alhaurin de la Torre. The idea and creativity they present is not equalled by product and delivery. The plates we had were fine, but frustrating that they could have been better. The Langostinos in Tempura with spicy mayonnaise and the white chocolate brownie were easily the best dishes. Followed by the taco de Atun tartar. The ribs in prawn cracker was ok, as was the Cesar salad (which has no resemblance to a Cesar salad at all). The Russian salad and potatoes Japones with citric (without citric) were total fails. We barely ate any of either. The Russian salad had a liquid mayonnaise which was a let down. No flavour at all. The potatoes in both dishes were cut to the size of miniature cubes. The brava sauce was basically the Russian salad mayonnaise with paprika added. I would recommend they revisit the mayonnaise completely, revise and try again.
By Alhaurin standards this is probably one of the better choices on offer, but doesn't really reach its price tag. I wouldn't say people shouldn't try it...it's better than most in Alhaurin (hence the 3 stars), but outside of this town...this kitchen would struggle.
The service was fantastic. They didn't miss anything (except for one plate the kitchen forgot to send at the end), but possibly miscommunication at the end of the day.
Friendly and nice relaxed ambience, and if you have tried the rest in this town....this place is worth a try. Probably won't repeat myself, but I've definitely had worse.

Lovely restaurant in Alhaurin for lunch. Great selection of modern tapas and the main dish of vegetarian noodles is amazing.
Fantastic restaurant with an enthusiastic chef willing to try new things!
Disappointing dinner. Poor service and an empty restaurant. I can't understand its reputation. Unprofessional service. The first courses were good.
