The food was absolutely delicious, every plate was tasty and we got quite a few items. There was a screaming toddler which made it a little less enjoyable but that’s not the restaurant’s fault. We were waiting a while to get the bill but other than that, it was lovely. Will definitely be coming back here

This is one of my favourite places to each Spanish Tapas.. I did notice that the menu had changed, less options but it wasn't an issue, still a lot of my favourite dishes. The staff here are very efficient, pleasant and knowledgeable and I love the food. The only other difference was that all our dishes came together, in the past they came as and when they were ready in typical tapas style. None of this detracted from our experience, we had a great time. The restaurant always has a great buzz about it, I look forward to visiting soon

Delicious food and fantastic service as always. Disappointed to see that the aubergine is off the menu as this was my favourite vegetarian option! We ordered pretty much everything on the menu and it was all excellent. Great choice of wine too! Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well, especially as we weren't the only large group present.
