Restaurant La Ereta

!!!This is a review regarding the New Years Eve party at La Ereta and not their usual dining experience!!! We chose La Ereta for our New Year's Eve dinner, hoping for a memorable end to the year. The restaurant certainly boasts a great reputation, and while the dishes we were served tasted wonderful, incorporating great ingredients, they didn't quite meet the level of creativity and flair we expected from such a renowned establishment. Service during the evening was a bit of a letdown. It seemed disorganized at times, and the staff often appeared unsure about the details of the dishes they were serving. We had to wait for them to check back with the kitchen multiple times, which disrupted the flow of our dining experience. Moreover, witnessing the head waiter reprimanding the staff multiple times within view and earshot of the diners was quite uncomfortable and seemed unprofessional. The ambiance after dinner didn't quite lend itself to the festive, celebratory mood typically associated with New Year's Eve. There wasn't much in the way of music or space conducive to dancing and socializing, though to be fair, we weren't expecting a lively party scene. Overall, while La Ereta offers tasty cuisine, the overall experience fell short of what one might hope for on such a special night. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend the restaurant for celebrating major events like New Year's Eve, though it might be suitable for a regular dining outing.

A lovely lunch. First and foremost, the view itself is worth the hike up to this restaurant, Alicante and the sea lay at your feet. The menu choice is either a 7 or 10 course menu. We chose the 7 course for 85 euros and weren't disappointed. The amuse bouche were inventive. A lot of thought and creativity went into the dishes. Several were very well executed. Only one was not to our liking, but overall, it was a very enjoyable lunch. The staff were friendly, which added to the experience. Next time, we might consider taking the wine pairing to add to the experience.
