Take the time to find this restaurant, in the back streets behind the main parking. Now run by two charming Frenchmen, Spanish food with a French twist. They have meat sharing plate or fish sharing plate but they now have a wonderful fish platter, 34€ for 2 people, it was sooo good. Lovely fresh prawns, razors shells, cockles, two different sorts of white fish fillets and fresh tuna. Everything is fresh from the fishing habour and you can taste the freshness, be patient, they cook to order. We went as a group of 4 and were struggling to finish the fish, it was so copious. And yes there is a full menu if you want something different. Will be back, loved it.
After reading some of the reviews we decided to dine there. By the time we reached the restaurant around 8:30pm, there were no other customers. The owner was outside, smoking and drinking with friends. There was a lady who greeted us and invited us to sit, we were speaking Spanish but she spoke only French. After seeing the owner's group at the entrance and the atmosphere inside we just decided to go somewhere else for dinner ... They didn't seem either professional or interested in getting customers. Not recommended.
The menu looked good, the welcome was warm, but this was a very average dinner. It was probably not a good idea to go to Saxophone on a November evening, but there was really very little else open. There was nobody else in the restaurant so we stuck to the golden rule and avoided the seafood no telling how long it had been hanging around. We had salads that were, at best, mediocre. Clearly from some of the good reviews, Saxophone can do the business just not on our night.
We ordered 2 steaks. One arrived and was placed before my husband. However eventually we realised that mine was not going to arrive. Spoke to the waiter who was very disinterested! We waited and waited and after half an hour my husband abandoned his now cold meal. We paid for a bottle of wine, which was mainly undrunk and my husband's meal. What a rip off! Terrible terrible service.

We had the seafood platter for 22 euros (if I remember correctly) which was good. We tried to speak some French/Spanish and got better service. The food was fine, but the area is really touristic, the other nights we went away from the Main Street and ate with the locals (or at least it felt that way)
Great selection of fish tapas. Friendly service. Kids menu good value but could be better. Would go back and try the other tapas too!
We stopped in for a late dinner and shared the 5 item appetizer and grilled fish, all of which were fresh and tasty!
