I wrote a 5 star review on our visit to this restaurant almost exactly 12 months ago, sadly I can't do the same this time. It's still very busy and this shows in the attitude of the staff and unfortunately the quality of the food....The fixed price menu looks to be great value and the avocado and prawn starter was delicious but that's where the good stuff ended. My wife's pork dish was seriously undercooked, in fact raw in places and my salmon was very average. The undercooked pork was sent back practically untouched but no adjustment to the bill was offered and it became impossible to attract the attention of the staff. Disappointing return visit to Irene.

We went to Es Castell unprepared all the waterside restaurants were booked up. After wandering around getting frustrated we chose Irene as it had a free table. As per the other reviews, the owner is really unfriendly not even bothering to explain the menu or...engage with the kids. However what we ordered was outstanding. For starter we had deep fried Camembert in a berry sauce and smoked salmon with mango and avocado. For main my wife had the monk fish and I the Talbot. Even the kids chicken in bread crumbs was really tasty. Everything was so fresh and well prepared. If you can get passed the service, this is well worth a visit.

All the reviews regarding the male waiter/owner being grumpy, could not be anymore accurate.. I ordered carbonara and my partner ordered bolognese, carbonara was good just missing some herbs/flavouring, was a bit bland. My partner reports his was nice. Food did take a long time...to come out, we were the only English couple outside and we first to arrive, yet the last ones to get our food, even groups were quicker..... Overall was an average experience, waitress with red hair was pleasant, shame the waiter couldn’t smile a bit more, comes across very rude!

We chose the menu of the day.It was 14 euros for a 3 course meal including a glass of wine.The choice was excellent Our starters were salt cod salad with a fruit commit and my husbands zarzuela he said was to die for We chose...swordfish which was generously sized and cooked beautifully..Deserts were also delicious and varied. We plan to return!
