"I came to Laurel with my family for the first time and we where very happy with the service, we even changed the table after drinks (it was sunny) which made extra work for the staff and they did it very nicely and easily. The food was so good, the portions fairly big, overall was impressive and let’s not talk about the view, to live for ;) For sure will come back."

"Busy at lunchtime, lucky to get parking just out side or it's a find and seek parking situation. Got a table for 2 without reserving but would recommend reservations to avoid disappointment. Food is banging all fresh and well prepared and taste of Spain on the coast, had the monk fish which was succulent and the shellfish was excellent, gambas pil pil good and the seafood soup was top notch. Service was attentive even though it was rammed. Well worth the visit"
