Service

Everything was great. Food was really good.

Fantastic birthday lunch for my wife. Every dish was excellent with great combination of flavours, and the dessert with rhubarb was spectacular.

Incredible gastronomic experience in Empuries, they have a michelin star an it&rsquo;s worth it. Different dishes using local and ecological products, like this you can appreciate the richness of this area. I really recommend it!

Absolutely wonderful. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Very friendly and attentive service. Will return over and over for the delicious food!

Been lucky enough to fine dine in Paris New York Sydney Singapour and Southend on Sea and Essencia&#39;s food easily compares with them all. Lunch was delightful with a great selection, the local Rose wine was cold crisp and dry in fact perfect. We will be returning to sample the rest of the menu although our very helpful waiter did inform us that the menu changes every week so I can see many many visits in the near future .

The waitress who served our table was superb????food was great. Perfect ending to our two week holiday in Empuriabrava

Nice restaurant, the food was very good. Service excellent. Wanted to book again the next day, but they were fulltime booked.

It was a shame that I wasn&rsquo;t aware of the building works being completed before I booked.  It was my birthday and I wanted to go somewhere special.

What an embarrassment. We arrived at the restaurant, advised the receptionist, and were then left standing in the entrance, no waiting staff came near us. After some time, the receptionist took pity on us and escorted us to a table in what appeared to be an annex to the restaurant more commonly used as a breakfast room, indeed we were seated adjacent to a collection of cereals.Eventually, the only waiter appeared and placed a scruffy sheet of paper on the table and disappeared, the sheet of paper turned out to be the menu but was so badly scrawled that it would have embarrassed an 8 year old child, worse still it contained a minimal choice of 2 starters followed by a fish dish and a meat dish, none of which was in the least appetising. Bearing in mind that it was the comprehensive menu displayed on their web site that attracted us to the restaurant in the first place we were all quite stunned, particularly since no explanation was offered.We stayed at the table for some time debating what we should do, during that time, the lone waiter never came anywhere near us, so we got up and left.To be clear, my low mark on food is simply because of the lack of any choice offered and the appalling way that the menu was presented.I know these are tough times and they may well have had a short-term staff crisis but there is no excuse for the way the restaurant was conducted, a simple phone call notifying us of a problem, an apology or an explanation would have gone some way to redeeming them but all we met was indifference.

Great place to have dinner at! Service was quick and kind. A beautifully decorated place. Tasty, well served plates, come in very big portions. A pleasure really.

What&#39;s not to like?  Good quality food (fixed price menu at a great price), friendly staff, very clean and not too noisy!

Excellent service and slightly better food/presentation than other restaurants around.  Lovely building/setting.  Worth a visit.  One main dish was very short on the seafood content (3 clams, one king prawn and 2 calamari rings)  so not worth the price but other options good.

The food was excellent and the ratio price/quality is very good. Improvement point can be on service. Very satisfied with the restaurant ans I recommend it. Special recognition to the Chef and his team.

Absolutely an amazing experience. Eating there makes us discoring new flavours and providing an insight of  the chef&#39;s intent, The restaurant is highly recommended,

Nice authentic food from the region. Very friendly hostess. The prices are also very friendly ????The wine was good, it was a nice evening at a good place!

This place is a hidden gem! The cocktails are delicious, and the staff is friendly and efficient. The unique decor and atmosphere make it a lovely spot to enjoy a meal.

All aspects of this restaurant are good and when all parts come together it becomes a very enjoyable and tasty experience.

Visited with our son and grandson. Plenty of choice and the service was quite quick, although the restaurant was busy. The robots making deliveries of orders was enjoyed by everyone, especially the children who enjoy petting them.  Would recommend and will certainly visit again when next in the area.

We arrived a little early for our 20:00 table and had a cocktail.  The dining room was partly full but a separate party was outside.    After being seated we waited for 15 minutes to get a menu.   After another 15 minutes we had only received some water and while looking around saw that hardly anyone but the outside party had been served food.   As we had a table that could see into the kitchen, you could tell that it was pandemonium.   As no one came to take our order and dinner was unlikely to ever arrive in our lifetime, after 30+ minutes we left.

Restaurant with quality food and very diligent service. I recommend the croquettes, excellent.  The girls ordered pasta and pizza and enjoyed themselves. These dishes were very appropriate for the little ones.

Great food, creative and tasty, perfect portions. Service was perfect as was the ambience for lunch. Polite and engaging servers. A must try if in Girona.

The variety of crepes offered here is impressive, and each one is delicious. It&#39;s a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Breton cuisine.

The place is very nice, both the interior rooms and the exterior spaces. The welcome and the service are very pleasant and efficient. Maybe too fast, no time to take a break between two courses. On the other hand the inside room was noisy, that breaks a little the romantic atmosphere sought.The menu is interesting. In the starters and small appetizers: only very nice surprises. On the dishes: correct, beautiful portions. But... some associations of products/tastes are not successful. It is inventive but not surprising and sometimes a little strange. It lacks a gastronomic touch to the kitchen. We recommend for moments with family or friends. Less for gastronomic and romantic moments.

Highly recommend Can Xabanet. They&#39;ve got a varied daily menu at a very reasonable price, served by riendly and competent staff. One not to miss in Banyoles!

Fantastic location in a historic castle overlooking a small peaceful pond with innovative delicious cuisine. Highly recommend

When we arrived for our 2000 reservation, it seemed they were not ready for us. No problem, we understand it is early in Spain. The venue is spectacular. I would say it&rsquo;s like &ldquo;farmy&rdquo; with a modern chic feel. We loved the venue! The service was very good. We had several servers that were very nice to speak English for us, even though we were the ones that should speak Spanish. The food came out quick but there wasn&rsquo;t much follow-up. Regarding the food - we had gyoza (they were spot on). We also had spicy edamame and they were fresh, spicy, and crisp. We had the Bobila Poke bowl and it was the star of the show. The mix of flavor from seaweed, avocado, rice, salmon, and even apple all went well together. We also had sushi. Unfortunately this is where I think things were not top notch. Most specifically with the salmon and tuna roll. Our tuna roll looked like my 7 year old daughter rolled it. There was very little fish, a lot of rice and one of the pieces had almost no tuna in it. The salmon roll was similar. The problem is the fish should be the star of the roll but it was the rice that was prevalent. I really felt let down with the sushi. That being said, the fish was fresh and the taste was spot on. If we return, we would probably eat every bit the sushi.
