"Hoy hemos estado comiendo allí porque nos habían hablado genial de sus arroces. Nos hemos decidido por el arroz con bogavante y aconsejados por sus empleados y el dueño (gracias por todo) también hemos probado las croquetas, gambas a la plancha, chopitos y pulpo. Puedo decir que estaba todo riquísimo y que la relación calidad precio es estupenda. Volveremos seguro!"

"Todo muy bueno. El cazón en adobo buenísimo, y las croquetas de gambas también. En general toda la fritura estaba buenísima. Y la tarta de queso espectacular. Y los camareros muy amables. Recomendable 100%"

"Sitio con una terraza enorme con la que puedes ir con tu perrito. Estaba lleno pero buscaron opciones para darnos un sitio. Pusieron un bol de agua para nuestro peludito por lo que el servicio muy bien. Las raciones son justitas con respecto a lo que es habitual en Alcalá."

"Como es un restaurante de barrio puedes pensar que a priori, es más normalito. Pero nada más lejos de la realidad. La mejor freiduría de Alcalá con diferencia, pero es que está todo, en general, delicioso, también la carne, los torreznos, menú del día...etc Raciones super sabrosas, bien de cantidad y a un precio razonable. La terraza que tienen ahora en verano está genial. Camareros muy majos, lo único malo es que algunos días, al estar tan a tope de gente, pueden ir algo más lentos en el servicio...pero la espera vale la pena ;) ¡Para repetir sin parar!"

"Nuevo restaurante con una decoración fantástica que único a la música y ambiente de hace sentir en un lugar privilegiado. Tiene dos espacios, un salón pequeño que es muy tranquilo. El otro, la zona de barra con unas mesas altas que hacen la estancia muy cómoda. Tiene una gran variedad de vinos y cervezas aunque yo personalmente destacaría su carta de comida. Está relacionada con la mar, algo totalmente desaparecido en Alcalá de Henares y que con un toque innovador en poco tiempo será referencia. Respecto al servicio, muy amable y cercano lo que hace tener ganas de repetir."
