Nota Blu New Brasserie

Unfortunately, the place looks beautiful and nice ambiance, but the main dish was good , we ordered the seabass. But the appetizers were a scam. The carpaccio was for kids, the pizza was good. 📌Overall was average & very overpriced ✅ 📌The moment when we got the bill and there was a " DONATION " charged without even being asked was a shock. I believe many people don’t even look what they are paying when they get the bill but this is not fair for the clients even though is only 1€ . Multiplied by many customers…

Walking in to Nota Blu, you enter into different atmosphere of energy and friendly smiles. From the first greeting behind the front desk from a handsome guy named David all the way to the last of multiple servers who helped curate the experience and passes the bill. Everything in between is exceptional and perfectly timed. Couldn’t have been more impressed with my first time at Nota Blu and will gladly return for more carpaccio and escargot.

First thing i would like to say is the staff are very warm and welcoming. This place has a fantastic atmosphere. Service amazing!! The best part was the food oh my god delicious 😊.

An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every detail was spot on. A very special mention goes to Luis, our waiter from Jerez. His professionalism, genuine friendliness, and attention to detail made our evening truly memorable. He struck the perfect balance between being attentive and letting us enjoy our meal, and his recommendations were excellent. If you’re visiting La Nota, ask for Luis—you’ll be in great hands. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after spending over two hours at Nota Blu, I feel people deserve to know what our experience was really like. We arrived before our reservation, hoping to get a nice table. Instead, we were told to wait at the bar for around 15 minutes, despite several tables becoming available. That wasn’t a big deal—we let it go. Unfortunately, things only got worse from there. The service was incredibly disappointing. Our waiter repeatedly threw plates onto the table instead of placing them down properly. At one point, he spilled steak sauce on me. Again, I chose not to make an issue out of it because I wanted to enjoy the evening. Ordering drinks became frustrating. I had to ask three or four times before anyone finally brought what I ordered, while watching other tables being served without any problems. The biggest disappointment came at the end. We were celebrating a special occasion, so I simply asked if they could write "Happy Birthday" on the dessert. I was told it would take 30 minutes just to do that. Then, when I asked for the bill, we waited another 30 minutes. I eventually had to stand up because nobody seemed interested in bringing it. Even other guests around us looked surprised by what was happening. I spoke to the manager hoping he would genuinely care and try to make things right. Instead, all I received was a brief apology. For a restaurant with such a reputation, that response was simply not enough. Great restaurants are remembered because of hospitality, not just beautiful interiors or expensive food. Sadly, Nota Blu delivered one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in Marbella. I hope the management focuses less on expanding its name and more on delivering the level of service that its reputation promises.
