Called here for lunch on day after strolling along the Paseo Maritimo and working up an appetite, the restaurant was empty so we were a bit apprehensive, we needn't have worried. The young waitress lady told us that if we didn't like our meal, then we didn't have to pay for it, so we sat down, ordered drinks and a pizza to share and enjoyed watching the world go by in lovely surroundings in chairs with cushions.When our Pizza arrived you could see that it was home made, fresh and very hot and tasty, IT WAS SUPERB, a bit on the dear side but worth every cent.We can highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you like Pizza, well worth a visit even if only for a drink in nice surroundings.The restaurant is extremely clean and well presented and the staff are very welcoming and friendly.

My husband and I booked this as part of our honeymoon. The service was incredibly slow, which is to be expected in Europe (especially Spain) but they seemed to be helping every table other than our own, so we ended up feeling neglected. They added the "VAT" tax onto our bill, as well as charged us 4 euros for silverware. We did not realize this until after paying, and upon doing some research we found out that adding this charges is against Spanish law. They clearly targeted us because we were American tourists. The food was mediocre. Good appetizers but the dinner didn't wow either of us. Beautiful location but overall very disappointing, especially with the added unnecessary charges.

Very high ratings on Trip Advisor are totally deserved.We had an unusual request....birthday lunch for 16. We ordered a birthday cake and flowers as well as the usual stuff.Joy (who communicated with us to plan details by email) was excellent - both responsive and flexible on menu. So that was ahead of actual visit.Visit itself was excellent - the wait staff were friendly and efficient, the chef? (Dutch gentleman) was very friendly also. And the food was very good - particularly the starters ....beef carpaccio and goats cheese salad were both top notch. Finally the atmosphere is nice also with inside and outside spaces (outside under shade).A really good experience overall. Would highly recommend for special events but also weâd recommend visit for a more âstandardâ type lunch or dinner. Food and service Iâm sure would be same high quality.First of all many thanks for choosing Cascada Cocina & Bar to celebrate this very special occasion. Great to hear that you have had such a great time and that you enjoyed the setting as well as the service and the food so much. Reviews like this are very rewarding and motivate us to keep going. We hope we can be a witness of many more birthdays to come for your lovely mum! We cannot wait to welcoming you back again.

My principle incentive to dine at the Playwright was that the very talented Joffrey Charles is now the head chef there and I admire his flavoursome originality, and beautiful culinary presentations very much. Notwithstanding that, the dining room is also a pleasant place to be, with all the staff having been well schooled by Maitra âD Lynn, and with the promise of entertainment by a vocalist later, we settle in and peruse the manageable menu. (a tad more light would have been helpful)Our choice for mains was: Galician Fillet Steak and Mash with a pepper Sauce - a Wok fried Tempura Lemon Sole with Vegetable accompanied by a chilli, Lime and Ginger Butter Sauce â a buttered crusted Rack of Lamb with a Red Wine and Rosemary Jus. â Pan Fried Lambs Liver with caramelized Onion, Crispy Bacon and Mash.- A selection of al dente vegetables that should have been served warmer than they were. The Pinot Grigio worked well for the three carnivores. We preceded the mains by an amusing appetiser of Liver Pate disguised as a Plum complete with stalk and leaves, with Berries and toast that was warm, unlike the plates that the mains were served on!, To finish we shared a Sherry Trifle. Not only was the whole meal of the highest culinary standards but in taste and texture was a melody of flavours that few achieve. Unlike the vocalist who turned up the amplifier reverberation to such an extent that none of the lyrics were discernible, and this just became an aggravating noise that we hastened to depart from! The V.S.The easiest way to find Playwright when approaching from Marbella is to exit N340 at the Don Carlos exit, go over the bridge to the north side), go round the round-about until you take the slip road to re-join the N340 but immediately fork right (do not go back on to the N340) - the restaurant is half a Km on the right. They open for Dinner only 6 days a week with Tuesday being their day of rest. Average 3 course meal with wine £60. Street parking in service road outside the restaurant.

We had a most enjoyable evening here for my daughter's birthday, The interesting food lived up to the hype and the knowledgeable staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant is attractively located in the port. What let it down was the lack of customers and the consequent loss of atmosphere. However some of the food eg steak tartare was extraordinary.Thank you very much for the visit. We are glad to know that you did enjoyed your visit and that we were able to surprised you. We will be delighted to see you back again.Regards from the Pikaro team

At last a decent restaurant in Banus!We had a delicious meal starting with Beef cheek in chilli and chocolate sauce, followed by suckling pig with jus and delicious slow cooked lamb. All of the food was executed brilliantly. Wine with our meal was very reasonably priced . The service was great and Eric (not v Spanish I know but he assured us he was) the chef and proprietor along with his mum run a first class establishment. We will definitely be returning on a regular basisThank you very much Deesacha for your opinion as it helps us to let our team know that their daily work is appreciated and their effort recognized, since we strive to give the best of us and transfer a unique experience to each diner who visits our restaurant , which we see reflected in your words and we are extremely pleased.We thank you from the heart that you have given us your time in getting your feedback and we are looking forward to your prompt visit.Receive an inimitable greeting,Eric

Reviewed By OnThRo
Poor service from cold and aloof waitress, no smile simply said "ready?" Food is very over priced for what it is - especially the raw dishes which are the first 3 on the mains section. Location is on a busy road with car horns being a problem here. Not a pleasant atmosphere. The only thing stopping me giving a poor review is that it is entirely plant based.Waitress also kept sneezing loudly which was also off putting.If you want plant based food go to Manuka, you will not be disappointed and it is on Beach front too.Hi there!I'm really sorry to hear that the service wasn't up to standard during your visit. Unfortunately our waitress (who normally gets beautiful reviews) had a bad flare-up of seasonal allergy - causing low energy and sneezing - that day. Again, our sincerest apologies that this disrupted your meal.In regards to the traffic noise there is unfortunately not much we can do about that. Regarding the pricing we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. We carefully select the best quality and organic ingredients we can find and all food is made in house which is reflected in the prices. The raw dishes we have are very popular with our customers but of course everyone has different preferences. Fantastic to hear that you've found a restaurant better suiting your taste and perhaps Manuka appreciates that you use your reviews of other restaurants to spread the word.Thanks for supporting the plant-based concept!Kindly,Patricia
