When we first moved out to Tortosa 6 years ago we used to be regular visitors to Amets enjoying menu del dias but as we got more adventurous moved more and more around trying different restaurants.  Yesterday as it was our anniversary my wife decided that she would like to return with some friends to Amets  To say that we were disappointed at how it had appeared to have gone downhill is an understatement.  We should have known as soon as we walked in as it was not so busy as it used to be.  I think that we were all to an extent satisfied with the starters, spaghetti al pesto (which could have been hotter) and tuna and tomato salad.  However the main courses we chose were very poor value for the money - the ladies chose cordero for which they received three thin slices covered in breadcrumbs but obviously cooked in cold fat as it had soaked into the breadcrumbs which had not coloured and given  a very greasy texture.  We gentlemen chose huevos and chorizo which I must admit arrived very hot but contained a thick layer of oil at the bottom of the dish,  the chorizo was 5 very thin slices taken from one small sausage and the 2 eggs were overcooked.  The deserts I must admit were lovely, not from a fridge but home made coffee mousse and chocolate pie.  We accompanied our meals with the help yourself cider, and for the ladies 2 soft drinks. The meal was overpriced at 11.50E to which were added the coffees and IVA.  A final total of nearly 60E.

We had tried to introduce our friends to somewhere they had not been to before but the overall opinion at the end of the meal was that we would not go there again.  My wife was thoroughly embarrassed by the whole experience.

I think that they had employed new staff in the kitchen as it was not the chefs that we were used to seeing but that is no excuse as it is still run by the same family.
