We ate lunch at Otters Bistro yesterday and were very pleased with the food and service. The restaurant was quiet and so service was very prompt. As with all Maltese restaurants portion sizes are generous. We had ciabatta starter to share and it was fresh and tasty, and seafood soup. The seafood soup was packed full of mussels, cockles and...

We went to this restaurant, as it happened to be sunny and the views are amazing. We settled for lunch. The order was placed and almost 90 minutes later the food arrived. No apologies offered. We were told the seafood was fresh but it was obvious it was out of a frozen pack. A Russian family left the restaurant after... More

We went to this retaurant on a nice sunny afternoon. We did not have a booking but they had a free table. The views are stunning and the food is quite good with decent prices. However, they need to improve the service. There were just 3 people manning the floor and the bar, and the restaurant was full. We had... More

On arrival they came straight to the table with the menu. You had no change to choose a drink because they wanted already to know what you wanted to drink. There was a long waiting time before the food was served and it was not whaw. To much sauce on the plate! We had to wait a long time before... More

You may have to note that if the restaurant especially in peak seasons is indulged with people one cannot expect the service that is offered during less busier days. We apologise for this. Hope we can serve you better in the futur which I'm sure we will . Thanks The manager. More
