    The food was excellent. Simple as it sounds, the bread with tomato was an excellent starter, loaded with flavor. We shared the paella; the seafood was excellent and the portion was more than enough for two. Our reservation was early (6:30) so it was quiet with others arriving just before we were leaving. We highly recommend this hidden little place.

    Basilisa was an outstanding experience. Our family booked for my birthday dinner and it was amazing, the quality of the food is 5 stars ✨. Dinner was top tier. House Sangría and the Paella was so good we want to go back already.

    Horrible. Food not even made. 2.5 hours and no food. They didn’t tell us someone quit and the kitchen had no staff.

    The service was bad although the restaurant had only three people. The food wasn’t good. We had a paella and was not good.

    The food was amazing. They really took time with each dish. I was surprised to find a true Spanish style restaurant with authentic tapas. Will go back next time we are on the island.
