I’ve known Dan and Viv for over a year now, they are excellent people who enjoy what they doing as much as we enjoy going there. Unfortunately Ive moved back to england now and miss them and their restaurant a lot. Their food and drinks are fantastic and their warm, witty personalities make me know they will be friends for life.
Miss you both a lot, can’t wait to see you again, lots of love and hugs from Charlene xxxxxxxx
i was at the blue iguanas reopening party were they had live music. A spainsh guitar and a rock band. The food was great.. over all it was a wonderful night……i would go back any time….thanks for the good time daniel and viv
| Our friends who live in Benalmadena said it was good – and when they took us there – we weren`t dissapointed. A refreshing change to the norm. Excellent food cooked by a chef who knows his stuff – and great service. We really can`t fault it at all, and will certainly eat and drink there again when we next visit. Well done Dan and Viv ! |
