Those who have visited the restaurant report that its decor is typically Andalusian. Furniture is very old world and charming, and walls are covered with potted flowers. The atmosphere overall is quite warm and homey. Note that the restaurant can get quite noisy. For this reason, it's recommended that diners request tables on its patio, which offers more tranquility than the interior rooms.

The menu is dominated by traditional Spanish dishes. One standout is carne a la piedra, a very tasty meat dish. The restaurant is conveniently located for those on sightseeing expeditions. It's very close to attractions such as Old Town's Orange Square and the Church of Saint Mary.
