HOTEL SAVOY

3 months ago

(For the restaurant) I got a recommendation from local, who I met on the ferry I visited the restaurant twice. The First Impression (A Mixed Start) My first visit was around 3:00 PM. One of the waiters informed me that the restaurant was closed and wasn't accepting new customers. However, just moments later, I watched three new patrons enter, and the same waiter welcomed them. It was strange and frankly quite frustrating that he seemed to be picking and choosing whom to serve. Fortunately, the experience was saved when I spoke with another waiter, who was incredibly helpful and personable. He took the time to chat with me and offered an enthusiastic recommendation for what I should order the next time I returned. The Second Visit (The Excellent Dish) I returned the next day for lunch. Following the second waiter’s advice, I ordered the Chupe de Centolla (King Crab Stew). The dish was absolutely amazing. I initially worried the serving would be small, but the portion was generous, reasonable price and I finished the meal feeling happily full. The entire bowl was packed with centolla (king crab) meat, not filler, which was a fantastic surprise. The accompanying sauce was flavorful, rich, and perfectly cooked—not too heavy or greasy. I did notice the crab meat tasted slightly like it had been frozen, but this was a minor detail that didn't detract from the overall quality. The bread served alongside was also warm and delicious. All the other staff members were friendly and attentive, which truly highlighted the initial contrast. Summary Overall, the positive experience, primarily driven by the delicious food and the helpful staff member, far outweighed the initial negative encounter. I would certainly recommend the Chupe de Centolla to anyone.

My review is for the Restaurant, which was suggested by a local. We had an amazing experience with the food. Super yummy and fresh! Highly recommended for those who would like to have a taste of a good cuisine under a good price. Negative: Be ready to wait to be served, as the Restaurant is always very busy. But it is worth to wait.
