    A fabulous night, food was amazing but the service was really, really slow which is unusual for Elena’s. Not a problem, adds to the authenticity 😂

    Felt welcomed from first stepping in to the restaurant. It’s a smaller place but the food and sangria was great and the staff couldn’t be more lovely and helpful. Will definitely be back, great value for money and high quality food

    The poor waitress was rushed off her feet! One waitress for the full restaurant is ridiculous. Received 2 tapas and had to wait about 30 minutes for the other 3 tapas to come to the table. By this point the first 2 tapas were finished. Waited a ridiculous length of time for every drink we ordered and had to wait far too long to pay the pill too and missed the start of our concert due to this! Won’t be back although food was fine when we got it.
