Hi Carla! Right now I can only think of Café del Mar in the Meloneras area, they have a night show and you can stay and have a drink! Hope this can help you. All the best.
It is incredible how many restaurants on your list are overrated or that need to review their local menus and, above all, their staff so that they are more professional, efficient, and have more consideration and know how to be with the customer, and not the number of inexperienced people as cheap and untrained labor who serve restaurants of a certain label... to be taken into account.
That are not PIER 19 or LA BODEGA DE LA AVENIDA or EL
EMBARCADERO, FLORINDA, THE NORTH... it is very striking. Because ???
They far exceed in quality, raw material, quality-price ratio and presentation than several on the list presented here...
