El Cuartel del Mar

Very beautiful restaurant overlooking the sea. Ate by the tall glass windows with spectacular views. Wide selections of wines by the glass which lets you try some new Spanish wines without just getting a bottle. The tartare with bone marrow was super. The local clams perfect. Good bread. Excellent decor and music. The staff is welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended.

Hello, we have visited the restaurant yesterday (28/06/25), and I would like to make some observations. 1 - service: my husband is more sensitive to these things - he was on the edge of leaving. So after we arrived and were seated, we were not offered menus and/or drinks for a long time, until i found someone to actually serve us. The bread - was served without a question, and it is not complementary. There was some problem with serving salt - again waiting and searching for a waiter. For future reference - it is a good idea to ask, how to serve the courses for a couple, at the same time or one after each other. One can order a main dish, and the other a starter as a main dish, to avoid an awkward situation when one is already eating and the other is still waiting for God knows how long. Please ask waiters (not all of them obviously) to be friendly in any situation, to smile at least. I understand the amount of work, but actually seeing it as a client creates a weight that you want to avoid, while enjoying the moment. 2 - atmosphere: the idea to visit the place was mine, and I received what I wanted. I liked the design, I personally think to be seated inside gives you an opportunity to breath at this hellish heat, at the same time outside you have a beautiful view indeed. 3 - food: we had a tuna tartar with garum and ibérico pork (not to go wild). We liked the food, no problem e we with that)) please add in the menu some refreshment options as a homemade lemonade, for example. I’m very grateful for a double shot of lime juice for my cravings, but giving you an idea for future development, and for kids I think it would be great,too. Can recommend, after all the location and food are great))

This restaurant is scamming people. The tuna was over 40 euros for the amount on the pictures which is almost nothing. The meat doesn’t come with any side dishes and is a lot of fat and bone. They charge you 10% extra without telling you if you sit outside where it is way hotter. So you pay 10% for the view. The food is very overpriced and not good. The cocktail was mostly ice and the charged me almost 15 euros for it, for sitting outside! It’s a tourist trap and Spain is taking the Greek/ American mentality where you rip of people for no reason, the service was non bad as well. It is a beautiful location but there must be better and cheaper options on the beach.

Beautiful restaurant and EXCELLENT food!! We ordered most of the menu, and multiple croquetas and pretzels. Amazing!!!

I frequent this restaurant many times throughout the year and every year mark my parents wedding anniversary with a family dinner. Unfortunately this year’s anniversary dinner we experienced disappointment. The food for the main dinners arrived late and unfortunately the meats were cold, also a family member starters had not arrived in time, and eventually arrived while the remaining family members were eating their main courses. To our amazement the starter (prawns) were very cold. We spoke with a member of staff whom took away the started and returned a short while later only the have to be further disappointed as the prawns remained to be cold. Finally we left for the roof terrace and ordered drinks only to be told that they have no more of the drinks we ordered. Staff that served us were apologetic for the bad experience on this day. In all traditionally we very much enjoy or family experience but this occasion during a special family occasion we were all left very disappointed considering how much money we paid for the evening.

A unique location. It may have been better seated outside. The interior is very upscale almost to a fault. A good setting as an art gallery. The pork is reminiscent of beef. My rice with prawns would be better with more than two. The croquettes were similar to others we had in other less locations. Potatoes, basic. Bench seats with large cushions are great in concept but not super comfortable. One of our dining partners had their meal at least 15 minutes before the rest of us, timing was way off and they're was confusion by staff on who had what meal.

Excellent food, tasty and good quality. You can also find good wines. The pictures don’t show how good everything was. What was nok was the waitress attention. The food arrived before the drinks, during our mail four different waitress served us. All of them nice but it was caothic. The bathroom didn’t have paper and was nothing but clean, I hope this will be solved. To sum up, very good and tasty food which was overshadowed by a bad service.

I have been coming to this restaurant for several years and have always appreciated its exceptional food, beautiful setting, and well-curated wine list. The location is lovely, and the convenience of being able to park right in front is a welcome bonus. Unfortunately, during my most recent visit, the level of service did not reflect the standard this restaurant has upheld in the past. After being seated, we waited more than 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order. We began by asking for water and took a look at the wine menu. We ordered a bottle of champagne listed on the menu and already placed our food order. However, the champagne never came. We asked once, then a second time, but still nothing. Only when we asked a third time were we told that the bottle we had chosen was not available. At that point, the waiter offered a few alternatives, which we appreciated. By then, the food had already started arriving — but we still had not received any water. We settled on a different champagne, only to be told that there were no champagne glasses available and it would be served in white wine glasses. Not a major issue in itself, but not the kind of service you would expect at this level. Throughout the lunch, the staff felt unresponsive and unaware of what had or had not been served. Later, when we ordered dessert and coffee, the dessert was already served while we were still waiting for the coffee to arrive. In the meantime, we were asked again if we wanted coffee, even though we had already placed the order. Despite the disappointing service, I want to highlight that the food remains great. I will certainly return, because I genuinely enjoy this place. But I do hope the service improves and that more attention is paid to the guest experience in the future
