This stylish new place has stunning views and chill music. Visited a couple of days ago with friends for lunch and had a great time. We tried some of their signature cocktails and the paella from the menu.
Our waiter was attentive and he made sure we got everything we wanted even when the restaurant was full already. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy some time on the beach with good food, drinks and vibes.
Will visit again for sure!

Fabulous location....... but
We visited for lunch on a Saturday. We arrived and the restaurant was empty with just a couple of reserved tables. There were 3 or 4 members of staff all doing their best to avoid eye contact. I initiated the conversation and asked for a table. We waited again. After another 10 minutes wait we were shown to the table. I guess we should have alerted to what the experience would be at that point.
We made our choices from the menu however what was brought didn’t match the food description at all. There were ingredients missing and no apology for substitutes in my husband’s dish. I had ingredients missing and no substitute just a “less than” experience.
The menu is a little limited in choice and overpriced especially as the food served isn’t as described. The wine too is overpriced.
The service is not at all friendly or welcoming.
The bill arrived...... after 3 requests only to find we were charged an additional charge for bread.... then all of the prices displayed on the menu are listed net of Vat. Therefore everything was then charged plus Vat including the additional bread charge so indeed the menu pricing is very misleading. Not a good experience. You left feeling completely underwhelmed and overcharged rather than having enjoyed a lovely lunch experience.
I will be interested to see if the restaurant comments as I have noted in other reviews they appear only to respond to the positive reviews

Made a reservation a week ago, but was not expected this evening. In generel it was embarrising how bad the service and experince was.
Extremely high prices and very boring, not very tasty food.
Food came before drinks and we only had two options from the menu cart (salmon and burger) with the explanation that they didn’t have enough staff.
So so bad, would’t recommend

So if you like to find the Place to burn you money and to revive 0 service not even average food and most unfriendly stuff . That’s the place to be . Don’t expect if you pay 35,-€ for each sun bed that you service is included. Best advise bring enough time and you should be relaxed to not freak out and get mental sickness .
So the owner should close or change the subject to do something good for this world.
Kind regards from a local

Just been here with my partner we were stopping for soft drinks as I’m heavily pregnant and it was hot. The resteraunt was not busy at all apart from one large table in the full place.
As we went to sit outside (on the floor might I add) on some cushions, before we even had chance the male waiter (seemed a manager) quickly came to tell us they were limited due to this one table.. for soft drinks? How do they cope on a weekend I wonder !
He then didn’t offer us a drinks menu , and then when i asked for an apple juice , they conveniently didn’t have it … We were clearly unwanted in the restraunt despite being fully paying customers who may of returned for food at a later date as we live here.
For a heavily pregnant woman to be made feel like this for only a soft drink I think is disgusting and their staff should be addressed.
We eat/ drink at many places in this area and never been made to feel unwelcome like so.

Please if you are around Marbella and want delicious food and the best service, check this place out. I celebrated my birthday with friends and family. The whole restaurant was decorated very elegantly. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. The staff was super attentive and fast, and definitely the highlight of the restaurant. The menu is very varied. We got serve the Tomahawk and the grilled octopus. All the food was outstanding and the portions were very resonable. We ended the night with some amazing and unique cocktails and some delicious desserts to share by the sea. One of the best places to spend my birthday evening. Definitely will come back next year.

Lovely location but owners don’t have a clue. Hard to know what they are trying to do. Is it a a daytime night club? The music is so loud it’s even annoying walking by on the Paseo. Sitting having a drink it’s impossible to have a conversation with friends . Anyway , potential clients are voting with their feet - and walking straight by. AUA empty this evening , but Basaya Beach 300 metres along full and so too Camuri a bit further along. Maybe the management should go for a walk.

It's not just a restaurant. It is an experience. Good food with incredible views of the Mediterranean Sea. Also, we did not stop dancing, that night a spectacular Cuban group sang. An unforgettable night that we will repeat whenever we visit Marbella
