Initially we were a little disappointed with the service. It took about 45min for the manager to come take our order. Apparently only he new the menu, when we asked other waiters about the food, none of them knew. I would assume staff to know what is the filling of the ravioli (apparently it changes and there eas written on menu to ask) and only the manager knew. The manager was taking the orders of everyone, so it took a while to sort all the orders before getting to us. Also most of the staff have a VERY basic english, were they struggled to converse with us even on simole things. On the plus side. Food was good, actually very good. And once we ordered food did not take long. When we asked for deserts (again we tried our luck with one of the waiters, not the manager) to try and avoid having to wait, the waitress told me she would check, came back 10min later and gave us two options, either chockolate tart or ice cream. Given the language barrier it highly possible that is not was exactly was available. We paid and went for desserts somewhere else. Its q shame as otherwise place is nice and food was good.

Lovely place in St Paul, Malta! Food was amazing but the best thing was the service and the cocktails!!! I left my heart here! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €30–35 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Great experience. Warm welcome at the door by Justin the manager, who took personal interest during the evening going round all the tables checking in every so often to make sure that everything is going to our expectations. The food and the service was exceptional, with good portions and a large selection of wines at very reasonable prices. We will definitely recommend to our friends and guests, and will definitely be back ourselves!! Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

So first things first, the view from this restaurant is sublime!! You are right on the water and we ended up sat right on the edge overlooking the sea. Malta is gorgeous and the Gillieru has it made in such a perfect place. The waiting staff leave you to it, they aren't jumping on you as soon as you arrive. This was fine but if you want more drinks and have other queries it is sometimes hard to get someone's attention. That is the only semi-negative point I could find though, the atmosphere with the live singer was fantastic. The views and the vibe were immaculate. Now onto the food, it was absolutely delicious!!! To start I had the Tempura Prawns and my wife had the Toasted Pita Bread. Both were really good, however it was the mains that really blew our mind. My wife had the Pappardelle Pistachio which was a Pasta and Cheese dish, she ordered for one but hers could have been a sharer. Portion was excellent and she said it was absolutely delicious. I had the Octopus salad and it was fresh and really really good. The octopus was cooked perfectly. We stayed at the attached hotel while in Malta and only ate at the Restaurant once for the evening. We would have happily have eaten here every day as it was stunning and the menu will fit everyone's taste!
Wonderfull view from the terrace and very nice service. Great starters - fresh calamari and falafel prepared in a very sophisticated way. Mains weren’t so good - cauliflower stakes are no stakes. It is a overcooked pile of goo with cauliflower flavour. Sorry Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

Very good food with a good selection of sea food, pasta and meat. Location is lovely exactly near the sea with uninterrupted sea views. The only sore point is that the service was not completely what you would expect from such a pricey restaurant and of course quite expensive so it isn't the type of restaurant you would visit too often! All that being said highly recommended for a nice lunch or dinner in a great location Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €50+ Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4
