"We’d seriously give more stars if we could. Walked in on Sunday at 1pm, the place was already fully reserved. We were super lucky to get a table. Ordered seafood platter for 1 (wanted to get for two but the staff told us not to do that. Not many restaurants are honest like that) and seafood rice, which we’ve waited for ten years to eat in Vigo. And the whole experience was mind blowing. We’ve traveled throughout the world for good food, and this place was easily top 5 of all time. Super friendly staff and an overwhelmingly positive experience. And you know right away the place is legit when there’s a fish tank in a restaurant. Need to go back!"
