Service

Excellent as always. This gem of a restaurant set by the side of the hotel pool is lovely in all seasons. The welcome and service is very good as is the food. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Great feel to the place , a lovely patio based in a beautiful garden location , food was good from a consise menu. Nice wine at reasonable price..

Everything was great. Food was really good.

Every year we come back to La Siesta because the staff are so lovely and friendly and the food is so good, and their wine selection is just perfect. Our favourite restaurant in France ????

Fantastic birthday lunch for my wife. Every dish was excellent with great combination of flavours, and the dessert with rhubarb was spectacular.

Absolutely wonderful. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Very friendly and attentive service. Will return over and over for the delicious food!

Been lucky enough to fine dine in Paris New York Sydney Singapour and Southend on Sea and Essencia&#39;s food easily compares with them all. Lunch was delightful with a great selection, the local Rose wine was cold crisp and dry in fact perfect. We will be returning to sample the rest of the menu although our very helpful waiter did inform us that the menu changes every week so I can see many many visits in the near future .

The waitress who served our table was superb????food was great. Perfect ending to our two week holiday in Empuriabrava

What an embarrassment. We arrived at the restaurant, advised the receptionist, and were then left standing in the entrance, no waiting staff came near us. After some time, the receptionist took pity on us and escorted us to a table in what appeared to be an annex to the restaurant more commonly used as a breakfast room, indeed we were seated adjacent to a collection of cereals.Eventually, the only waiter appeared and placed a scruffy sheet of paper on the table and disappeared, the sheet of paper turned out to be the menu but was so badly scrawled that it would have embarrassed an 8 year old child, worse still it contained a minimal choice of 2 starters followed by a fish dish and a meat dish, none of which was in the least appetising. Bearing in mind that it was the comprehensive menu displayed on their web site that attracted us to the restaurant in the first place we were all quite stunned, particularly since no explanation was offered.We stayed at the table for some time debating what we should do, during that time, the lone waiter never came anywhere near us, so we got up and left.To be clear, my low mark on food is simply because of the lack of any choice offered and the appalling way that the menu was presented.I know these are tough times and they may well have had a short-term staff crisis but there is no excuse for the way the restaurant was conducted, a simple phone call notifying us of a problem, an apology or an explanation would have gone some way to redeeming them but all we met was indifference.

Great surprise, delicious home made food ,  excellent quality , happy  and professional atmosphere, very reasonable prices . Highly recommended !

What&#39;s not to like?  Good quality food (fixed price menu at a great price), friendly staff, very clean and not too noisy!
