Away from the Arenal beach they now flourish and are admired amongst serious eaters.  Booking essential !  For summer there is a large (mostly muzak-free) covered area in the garden. They have occasional jazz evenings during spring/summer and a Jazz Lunch starting on January 17th for the winter. Menu-del-día €17.00 (which changes every Thursday). Ask to go on their mailing list.
