Second experience here and this time as a table to three. We shared some tapas, butter beans, Brussels sprouts, steak, prawns, chorizo and fried potatoes and it was all delicious. Our guest loved it and said they'd also be back. Service was excellent and attentive, when my mother was unsure if she'd like the Sangria she let her have a taste before buying one of us doesn't like cinnamon so they made a churro for us with no cinnamon sugar and added just that one to the side. They really went above and beyond and we will definitely be back!!
