Booked this well in advance and requested a balcony table which we got. The balcony is very small only has 3 x 2 seater tables but itâs very nice to look down to the orange square. Thereâs only really one of the tables where both of you can see the full square, but Iâd try to book this if you can. Inside the restaurant is very dark and traditional.Food was lovely, garlic prawns could do with being a bit more spicy or more garlic maybe, lamb was lovely. My husband has the special starter which he loved, but the duck he thought was too sweet. Wine was very good, a white Rioja!

Very high ratings on Trip Advisor are totally deserved.We had an unusual request....birthday lunch for 16. We ordered a birthday cake and flowers as well as the usual stuff.Joy (who communicated with us to plan details by email) was excellent - both responsive and flexible on menu. So that was ahead of actual visit.Visit itself was excellent - the wait staff were friendly and efficient, the chef? (Dutch gentleman) was very friendly also. And the food was very good - particularly the starters ....beef carpaccio and goats cheese salad were both top notch. Finally the atmosphere is nice also with inside and outside spaces (outside under shade).A really good experience overall. Would highly recommend for special events but also weâd recommend visit for a more âstandardâ type lunch or dinner. Food and service Iâm sure would be same high quality.First of all many thanks for choosing Cascada Cocina & Bar to celebrate this very special occasion. Great to hear that you have had such a great time and that you enjoyed the setting as well as the service and the food so much. Reviews like this are very rewarding and motivate us to keep going. We hope we can be a witness of many more birthdays to come for your lovely mum! We cannot wait to welcoming you back again.

My principle incentive to dine at the Playwright was that the very talented Joffrey Charles is now the head chef there and I admire his flavoursome originality, and beautiful culinary presentations very much. Notwithstanding that, the dining room is also a pleasant place to be, with all the staff having been well schooled by Maitra âD Lynn, and with the promise of entertainment by a vocalist later, we settle in and peruse the manageable menu. (a tad more light would have been helpful)Our choice for mains was: Galician Fillet Steak and Mash with a pepper Sauce - a Wok fried Tempura Lemon Sole with Vegetable accompanied by a chilli, Lime and Ginger Butter Sauce â a buttered crusted Rack of Lamb with a Red Wine and Rosemary Jus. â Pan Fried Lambs Liver with caramelized Onion, Crispy Bacon and Mash.- A selection of al dente vegetables that should have been served warmer than they were. The Pinot Grigio worked well for the three carnivores. We preceded the mains by an amusing appetiser of Liver Pate disguised as a Plum complete with stalk and leaves, with Berries and toast that was warm, unlike the plates that the mains were served on!, To finish we shared a Sherry Trifle. Not only was the whole meal of the highest culinary standards but in taste and texture was a melody of flavours that few achieve. Unlike the vocalist who turned up the amplifier reverberation to such an extent that none of the lyrics were discernible, and this just became an aggravating noise that we hastened to depart from! The V.S.The easiest way to find Playwright when approaching from Marbella is to exit N340 at the Don Carlos exit, go over the bridge to the north side), go round the round-about until you take the slip road to re-join the N340 but immediately fork right (do not go back on to the N340) - the restaurant is half a Km on the right. They open for Dinner only 6 days a week with Tuesday being their day of rest. Average 3 course meal with wine £60. Street parking in service road outside the restaurant.

In a previous review I think it is clear this is my favourite restaurant on the Costa Del Sol. I do not usually give multiple reviews however Hermosa's once again delivered such high quality I simply had to. Front the moment I landed multiple people has asked me if I had been and if I had tasted the ribs. I was too excited to wait so made my way down the second night I was in the area. Wow was that a good choice. The ribs are without doubt the best small morsels of meat that I have ever tasted. So tender and so flavoursome. They are even part of the Red menu which you can get 2 or 3 amazing courses for 20 or so Euro incredible value. For main I decided to switch it up as the meat here is the best I have ever had so I wanted to try the fish. I am not a big fish fan so but like to try it in places where it's is fresh and done properly. Wow was a happy with my decision. The sea bass I can literally taste now as I am writing this. Two lovely fillets of absolute devine succulence. My partner had the Indian cottage pie which she has had before and it was as good as ever. Another dish many people I know rave about. My mum and dad also took friends here before we came out and they too are still raving about this place. It really is an absolute must. The Frank ReviewThank you so much for taking the time to leave your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your food. Thanks for all the family support, itâs much appreciated.

May wife and I ate here two of our three dinners while staying at Marriottâs Marbella Beach Resort. The two servers handle the entire restaurant with ease, and were very helpful and engaging. The beef dishes were perfectly done, and the wine list was excellent and well served. In all, an excellent value.Hi there, Thank you so much for the review, it is amazing to hear that you visited us three times while you stayed in Marbella. That is the best compliment a restaurant can get.

Me and my friends really enjoyed the food here it was delicious, however the sizes of the dishes were not what we expected. We ordered 2 dishes we were advised were to share but were frankly no bigger than the tapas we ordered (the side of vegetables consisted of 2 carrot sticks). When we came to pay we also found that weâd been charged for bread that had been brought to the table without us ordering with no suggestion that we would have to pay for it. We had really enjoyed our dinner but were just disappointed to be charged â¬45 for 3 very small dishes and 3 small glasses of wine. Dear customerFirst at all I have to say you are missing information because you never mention that one of the dishes to share you order was a Sea bass boneless with mashed patato and vegetables and the vegetables is not the main food from the dish is just as a garnished or to give color to the dish. The main product are 2 filets of sea bass with no Boâness for only 13,50⬠witch on my opinion is the chepeast fish in Marbella. Secon dish was a portion of prowns pil pil with a side of fries for 12,50. And as well you had a portion bravas, 3 glasses of white wine not small glasses as you mention because we do from a bottle 5 glasses of wine and you had 3 of them and a bottle of water. Of course as we are restaurant we did warm bred with garlic maioness and we charge for it. You should know when you go to restaurant the bead is a service nobody ask you if you want or not. From now on maybe I will do it just to avoid the problems with People like you. And the bill was not 45 was I think 42,30⬠. And of course I would never say 2 dishes and a tapa would be enough for 3 people. And the price you paid here just a little bit less you pay in Burger King with artificiales drinks, frozen fries and a burger witch I would never have. I would recommend you to reconsider your review or if you donât have at least 20⬠each donât go to a restaurant.

We had a most enjoyable evening here for my daughter's birthday, The interesting food lived up to the hype and the knowledgeable staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant is attractively located in the port. What let it down was the lack of customers and the consequent loss of atmosphere. However some of the food eg steak tartare was extraordinary.Thank you very much for the visit. We are glad to know that you did enjoyed your visit and that we were able to surprised you.
