Good food, poor attention.

I like this restaurant very much!! The main courses are simply delicious and full fulling, specially the lentils burger and quinoa croquettes with yogurt sauce.

The one thing (important!) that keeps me from visiting artemisia more often is the attention. It always seems like the waiters would rather be anywhere but there. Last time I went was at midday, we got our order very fast (which is a big plus) BUT we spent an entire hour with our empty, dirty plates in front of us with not one but 3 waiters passing by in front of us all the time and not noticing that we had already finished. To top it all off, we asked one of the waitresses for the dessert menu (twice) and she never brought it, we even asked the cashier!

It was odd because we went at rush hour of lunch and we got our order fast, and by the time we finished it there were a lot less of full tables than when we arrived, so I don't know how on earth they didn't noticed our dirty plates in front of us for an hour, or why the waitress wouldn't bring us the dessert menu, when we asked three times in total. There were two more waiters working that day.

At the end, we had to go pay at the desk where the cashier was because we were just sick of waiting. We were planning on having dessert but...It wasn't the day.

I think we are going to come back because the food is fantastic, but I hope that a situation like that won't happen again. I will have to check out the one in Cabrera, in search of better attention.

Pros: excellent food

Cons: bad attention
