Reviews Summary
O Mar Restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its captivating underwater-themed ambiance and a strong focus on fresh seafood. While many praise the sublime quality of dishes like the black paella and braised octopus, and commend the impeccable service and value, some reviews mention slow or inattentive service and a confusing menu presentation.
"Had an amazing dinner at this restaurant. They had a good selection of wines and some good fresh fish. One of the few places around here which also serves oysters. Do try their braised octopus with truffles. The servers were very nice and friendly."
Gaurav Singha Roy
"The service at O Mar in Salou was disappointing—slow, inattentive, and overall lacking. The food was okay, but the menu is a bit confusing and not very informative. The oysters were definitely the highlight: fresh, large, and delicious, though only served with lemon and no other options.
Main dishes are basically just the protein—there’s no clear indication anywhere about what sides (if any) you can order. For the price point, you’d expect the langoustines and shrimp to be peeled and cleaned, but they weren’t. The shellfish utensils weren’t the most practical either, especially if you’re expected to eat the entire meal with your hands.
The tiramisu was mid—not bad, not great.
The atmosphere was also just not it. It has a fine dining aesthetic, but the attitude and execution feel careless.
For the price, the overall experience doesn’t align with the expectations."
Kamla Muller
"We went for lunch here. It was quiet but a wonderful break away with it's cave decor. The staff were friendly and accomadating. The food was sublime. And perfectly cooked mussels and calamares. Forgot to take a photo of our paella as it was so tasty. And the coffee was beautifully rich. Thank you for a wonderful time."
