Continuing my journey through Asturias, a region less known to many international travelers. Full of natural beauty and very small restaurants in villages showcasing their best dishes/products.
Casa Marcial is located in the lushy Asturian mountains. They offer 3 menus starting with the shortest, La Salgar, at €130
We were really excited about dining at Casa Marcial due to its reputation in the region and 2 Michelin stars. In my opinion the food was really good and highlighted ingredients and classic dishes from Asturias.
However, the service did not meet expectations. Completely ignored the note on the reservation about shellfish allergy. We remind them when we sit down… first bite comes out and it’s a snail broth… we let them know again… apologies… two courses later another plate with shellfish… apologies… end of shellfish courses, thankfully.
Lastly, I was celebrating a milestone birthday and it was noted on the reservation. It was even mentioned during casual conversation with sommelier and chef as they were asking where we were from and how we had travel from so far to this restaurant. Absolutely nothing was brought out to acknowledge this. Just very disappointed.
Really really wanted to love this place but service was such a let down.
