Throw Fish
3 reviews on 1 places
Walking down the steep stairs into this basement diner feels like a journey into the heart of roadside America—if roadside America had the lingering scent of mildew (or maybe a wet dog, still not sure).
The decor screams 'vintage,' though I can’t tell if that’s by design or just years of neglect. There’s a weird charm to it, especially with the mix of music playing in the background—it’s like the diner has its own personality.
The food? Mine was alright, but my companion wasn’t as lucky. Her burger bun was so stale it could’ve been used as a hockey puck. Nothing worth raving about, but you don’t come to places like this expecting Michelin stars do you? You come for burgers and fries that do the job.
Be warned, though: they’ve got a thing for fish-based sauces. If you're allergic, check the labels, because the sauce might come with a surprise tang of the sea. Had to go with ketchup.
Now, about the drinks… let’s just say if you’re expecting a stiff one, you’ll be left disappointed. Mostly ice, barely any booze.
That said, the service was a pleasant surprise—five stars, easy. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience a bit brighter.
All in all, it’s a decent enough spot if you’re after an okay meal in a place that smells like your gran’s basement. Just remember to hold your breath when you walk in!

We stopped for drinks in the early afternoon because the promoter was polite and not pushy.
Atmosphere: Beautiful 1st line location by a sandy beach. Not too loud music, and it plays from one point, so farther from the speakers the less the music bothers you.
Service: Friendly, attentive, some servers are good English speakers. We didn't eat, but drinks arrived rather quickly.
Prices: A bit steep.
Other things worth mentioning: The best (and strongest) Piña Colada I've ever had. So yummy I wanted seconds at.
Toilet: paper-flushing ban, otherwise clean -- in the early afternoon we visited.

Drinks:
We stopped for a pint and water. Both were served very cold!
Prices:
The pint was a bit expensive at €4.85. Water price was ok. The check said prices do not include gratuities, so added ~13% tip.
Service:
Server was polite even though we spoke English, drinks arrived fast, so did the check. No complaints.
Atmosphere:
Set on a quieter location under a tree. Good spot for people watching but derelict building next door and walls don't exactly offer eye candy. No intrusive music playing. Comfortable seats.
