We went tfor afternoon tea to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday whilst on holiday. It was absolutely fantastic - different types of savour and sweet cakes made it even more enjoyable and last but certainly not least the staff were amazing.More

Evening meal very good. Only one waitress serving but no waiting or food delay. Gave her a well deserved tip, she was doing the job of 2 or 3 with ease. Lovely food, good menu, large portions, friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Recommended.More

Had my baby shower here. Food (afternoon tea) was delicious and service (especially by Sara) was excellent. Great value for the price and they cater for so many dietary requirements which made me comfortable knowing that all my guests would have something appropriate to eat...without compromising on quality. Very nice atmosphere also!More

Really enjoyed dining here, did so several times as I was staying at the Solana Spa & Hotel but did not opt for included meal options. Food was lovely and delivered quickly (I guess I came on particularly quiet nights where I was one of...few people dining so service was naturally very quick) All staff that served me were very kind, special shout out to the waitress with dark brown hair, I think her name is Monika? She was great and always made me smile! As I was a female solo traveller, I also felt very safe in the restaurant and hotel as a whole. 2 for 1 Happy hour was also great but the cocktails were too strong for my liking but that's just down to personal preference I guess haha! :)More

The place is cosy and with a modern decor. Food is yummy however the server was really lacking friendly manners. Unfortunately this server (Katarina) wasn't friendly at all the moment we stepped inside the restaurant. Yes we didn't booked before but at least greet your...customers (we were a large group of 10 persons). She brought hot drinks on the tray just above my 3 year old son's. She totally lacked professional etiquette; even when we ordered our food, she simple was forcing herself to do her job. This attitude unfortunately don't do justice and we don't think to come back because we weren't welcomed at all.More

Tried the afternoon tea for two! Portions were good, presentation was quite nice. The products were fresh and tasty. The raspberry Turkey sandwich was bland, the combination is not successful at all. The cones with minced meat also really unseasoned. Overall the service was really...good, friendly, kind. The coffee is delicious! The sweets were all delicious, nothing to fault.More

Not sure if we were unlucky but tried the restaurant 2 times as we were staying but the service was awful, honestly the worst I’ve ever experienced. Staff leave you standing around like a lemon half the time. First time we went we were sat...for 10/15 mins before being asked if we wanted a drink. Food came out and it was adequate nothing special, Then the waiter forgot our bill at the end and we were waiting for about 15/20 mins for someone to come over and take our payment. In the end I had to walk up to someone and ask if they actually wanted us to pay. Next time, I just wanted to get a quick snack before leaving. Stood at the till area as wasn’t sure if the same person at the bar was also doing the restaurant. The guy was stood at the bar cleaning glasses 2 ft away from me with not a single other person in the restaurant or at the bar. Didn’t acknowledge or ask if I wanted anything at all so I just left. Very poor service and average food. Much better places to visit. The restaurant over the road Ta Peter for one. Lovely service, authentic food.More

We visited Prickly Pear for our annual Christmas Staff Party in December 2021. The Food & Beverage Assistants and Restaurnt Manager were very welcoming and offered prompt service, with a smile. The food was divine, and the atmosphere is upscale, but in a relaxing way....I definitely recommend Prickly Pear to go out with friends, or a romantic night onto town.More

This is a lovely restaurant within the Solana Hotel & Spa in the heart of Mellieha offering food all day long. We dined in the evening and were not disappointed with the varied menu. Deep fried squid as a starter is a huge dish -...easily enough for two to share. The pizza I ordered was also huge and VERY tasty, and my partner’s pasta dish was plentiful, too. I like the look of the breakfast/brunch dishes, and they’re offering afternoon tea at the moment, too. Excellent food, lovely spot, great staff. We’ll be back!More

This restaurant is offering the same unbeatable quality what I was used to from the Hotel (The Prickly Pear is actually part of Solana Hotel & Spa). Even though I'm not staying with Solana at the moment, I still come to dine at the restaurant...every day, since I can't miss out on this fascinating experience. Great food, wonderful staff and an ambience to die for. Highly recommended.More
