Forgot to mention the Belfry we met friends on a Sunday for a carvery the other day and have to say it was pretty good 3 courses and at reasonable cost, the team who run it again are pretty good and always aim to please.

Get Fresh,very nice food which is well cooked but a little slow. As for Sunday dinners Belfrey and Molly Malones are nice and so is Brothers. As for the Indian restaurants Gourmet is the best of the 3 I've been in. To be fair the selection of food we have in GA is varied and on the whole good quality and cheap. If you don't like it stay at home with a ding meal.

Where is Mayka's kitchen please ?Upstairs at the Shirley Bassey strip.
They do a roast leg of lamb on Sunday, it's superb, four of us shared one and had plenty
The Galician Octopus is a great starter.
Definitely worth a visit.
The owner/chef is a lovely lady and enjoys talking about her food and it's ingredients

Can't agree more. Watching the sun set over the med from our balcony. It has never ceased to be amazing in the 30+ years I have been coming here.
I often watch the sun rise over the Mediterranean when in GA, but I've never seen it set over the Mediterranean....

Sorry for your experience, we would like to clear up a few things; maybe you tried calling at a time when we were closed, as we always answer the phone when we are here and when we can. Unfortunately there are certain times when we are busy with the service and are unable to answer the phone. In our opinion we are at a no win situation, i.e. if we don't give our full attention to the seated customers, and we answer the phone at the busiest times, our customers would not be happy as they wouldn't receive the service that we do proudly give, and we would find ourselves in the situation where we read online on forums such as this one, that we aren't giving a correct service and always on the phone.
Regarding Valentines night; we are only a small restuarant, with only 10 tables, we publicise well in advance, and unfortunately it's a first come first served basis, we tried to give you an option, and we understand that that time didn't suit you, but for some people it does.
Kind regards,
La Paletta

Sorry about your experience with calling us and not getting through, as we replied to Gemstone, there are times when we are unable to pick up the phone (at the busiest hours). Sorry that you called dozens of times, we cant seem to understand why you couldn't get through, many people make reservations successfully.
In regards to being complacent, we do not agree with you, we work very hard, put a lot of hours in, thought, effort and love into our restaurant.
Kind regards,
The team at La Paletta

I have had many good meals at La Paletta but I've always booked a table in person due to problems with trying to book on the phone.

They have always been welcoming, attentive, friendly & courteous. The food has always been excellent & able to suit two very different tastes. We certainly don't ever feel we have paid a fortune , & we appreciate the difficulties in trying to manage bookings.
To ALL the staff there, we would like to say:-
Keep on doing what you're doing!!!!

Just referring back to llamedos briefly where they said re la piedra, they had also been given the table next to the toilets, did u mean la paletta as discussed earlier as there are no tables next to the toilets in la piedra, the toilets there are in the bar area and not in the restaurant area.Oops, well spotted got my La Ps mixed up, it was La Palleta.

On saying that on restaurants we frequent a lot it is good to hear "do you want your usual table near the window" or words to that effect.
If I operated a restaurant would I treat all customers fairly, of course I would....but would I go the extra mile to keep my best customers happy, of course I would.
It's the old 80 20 rule, 80% of your turnover will come from 20% of your customers, you'd be daft not to go the extra mile for that 20% of your clients
I've always booked La Paletta by messenger on Facebook and I've always received a prompt reply.

Good idea John, will book by Facebook next time, but then they might not look because they are too busy :)
Have to say that this did happen to me, used the FB page from NI to request a booking for 5 of us but when there was no response after 3 days I asked our friends in GA to follow up for us, they called in and the FB message had not been seen, booking was then made on the spot. I do think that if a restaurant - any restaurant - offers any form of online or phone booking system then it really has to be monitored and followed up on, otherwise there is the very real danger that potential customers will give up and go elsewhere. It doesn't take much, an answering machine on the phone line, and an hour or so in the morning to go through and respond to all calls/messages/emails, whatever, no need to answer the phone during busy times therefore no problem and everyone should be happy.

That said I have still not been to Mayka's kitchen, which I have only heard good things about. Plus of course the (many) Chinese's all serve respectably similar Chinese food, when I fancy a Chinese.

Angie I'll second all 3 of your recommendations, Rogers is serving very good breakfasts, Mr Glaros deserves to be busier as he's a great guy and serves very nice Spanish food, and lastly but not least Get Fresh upstairs in the centre, i believe unlike most other restaurants in GA that they have a chef as opposed to someone who can cook, they serve up some excellent international dishes, the special menu is very good value.
Where is Mr Glaros please?
