We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant but after 30 minutes of being ignored by the waiting staff we decided to leave. The Spanish get preferential service so if you are an English family be prepared to wait or eat elsewhere where you will be treated with some level of basic respect.

After beach life, many people gather in the lovely square of the city for wining and dining. The elevated terrace of terrazuca offers stunning views on the events in the square. Terrazuca also offers a more modern dining amidst high tourist oriented traditional restaurants. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant reflects that 'young' atmosphere just as well as the surprising and delicious tapas served.

This restaurant (bar downstairs) doesn't open until 8 pm but possibly does do lunches. The bar had a really nice feel with tapas serves complimentary which was very nice. The guests were mainly locals and the staff really friendly making our evening a memorable one. The upstairs restaurant was very nice, my friends who ordered the Beef found it tough however. The fish options were limited but on the whole good. Complimentary digestives were served rounding off a good experience.

Premium service, great quality product in an uncomparable atmosphere. Must visit if you are in comillas. Among my favourite are: Rabas de calamar, entrecote de vaca Tudanca (local cow with extremely tasty meat), ensaladilla rusa and cheesecake with caramel for desert. Will come back to try pastrami sandwich and the burger. If you go for dinner, the place is ideal for a drink after dinner. Location, service, product and price make Gilda a great choice when in Comillas.

This restaurant is a little out of the way but the location and ambiance is amazing and worth the visit despite the really bad service. We were a group of 4 adults and 4 kids and luckily we had some snacks before arriving because after being seated it took them nearly 30minutes just to give us the menus. The slow start was clearly an indication of the slow service that we were about to receive. Although the food was not bad, by the time it arrived at our table it was completely cold. Service was so slow that in the end we let the kids get up to play and then 30min later we called them back for their main courses. Such a disappointment. I got the feeling that they are not used to having more than 2 tables to serve.

Although a language barrier, on our first visit we managed, using both U.K. and Spanish menus, to order and get more or less what we wanted (I was not able to find, on the English menu, the pizza with anchovy and olives that I was convinced Iâd translated on the Spanish menu, so ordered something else). Our waiter spoke enough English and with my very limited Spanish, we managed. However, on our second visit, about a week later, we were served by someone who honestly didnât even seem to understand their Spanish menu, let alone the UK one, even though they were laid out in identical manner. So we ordered the mixed salad to share as a starter followed by a pizza, an entrecôte with pepper and an escalope Milanese. Confusion over the bottle of water we ordered, everywhere else has understood my âAgua con gasâ but no, it took several minutes to eventually get a large bottle of water WITHOUT gas (con gas only came in small bottles). A further wait then two pizzas arrived, one was the one we had ordered and the other was a Naplalese one, which the waiter had decided we wanted instead of the escalope. This turned out to be the anchovy pizza I had wanted the week before! Then the mixed salad arrived, I unsuccessfully tried to explain we had wanted that as a shared starter, so gave up, but it looked as though the salad was being served instead of the steak, I realised that no one had asked how the steak should be cooked so thought they hadnât got that right either. Eventually though, the steak arrived. A large one but far too over cooked for me, so I swapped and had the anchovy pizza and my husband ate the steak, which he said was tasty but medium to well done (we would have ordered it rare, had we been asked). Now, I know we had a language issue but the waiter was seen to ask the other waiter, who had served us the week before, for some help but was just sent away. I also asked for a Spanish menu so I could show what we wanted on that but although he fetched one, he looked at it himself and put it on another table. Very frustrating and I was left feeling they just couldnât care less. Even when asking for the bill, in Spanish, the waiter nodded then we were ignored and had to ask again 10 mins later as he stood by the kitchen, not even appearing to remember we had asked for it. So, food was good but not what we had ordered, we felt the staff couldnât be bothered to try to serve us, not even checking how we liked the steak... pity we went back because it might have got one more point based on our first visit only.

This was a nice and tasty dinner. The service was welcoming. We arrived too early not being used to the Spanish dinner time but still got seated and served with refreshing white wine.A little bit on the pricey side for what the restaurant offers; the cooking nothing special, but the meat was of good quality. We could have skipped the desserts. One entry, two main dishes, 4 glasses of wine, a bottle of water and two desserts: Almost 50 EUR.

Wonderful service from the owner(?) who explained all the dishes in English, even offering to serve half portions so that we could try more dishes. The Zamburinas (Scallops) were the highlight. We shared a portion of Hake for main course, it was plenty for two and was served with chips & salad and was excellent. I'd recommend ordering one of the more expensive wines as the cheaper Albarino wasn't to our taste, but the lady couldn't have been more helpful in replacing it with different bottle. A must-go in lovely Comillas.

My sweetheart and I were spending 4 days in Cantabria, along with my mother-in-law (who is a very cool and dedicated traveler). We had been up in Picos de Europa enjoying the cool of the mountains and some great hiking.On our last day, we headed down the mountain, in part to be closer to the airport for our morning departure and (importantly) to see El Capricho de GaudÃ, the beautiful mansion.So, a day of beauty and harmony required a lunch to match. La Aldea Comillas really satisfied that need and left us quite content and smiling (and full!).The restaurant is on a side street packed with other restaurants. When you travel, and see a whole line of restaurants in a row, it's hard to tell the tourist traps from the real thing. Fortunately, we did our research and found this place.There is outside seating and a nice larger room upstairs. As they don't take reservations, if you want an outside seat, you'll probably have to arrive early. We didn't arrive until 3pm, so ended up inside (which was nice, so no complaints).My sweetheart and I really wanted fish. My mother-in-law wanted beef and got a nice steak from local meat.
