    Quirky restaurant with a lovely ambiance, great service from friendly staff. Good choice of tapas and wine, draught beer also available. Some tapas a bit pricey but overall good dining experience.

    Food was Devine couldn’t fault it. Greeted and explained how things work by a lovely young lady on arrival but sadly the service did then become slack taking a long time to come to the table to order. Also had to ask three times for salt and pepper to be brought to the table. Slow bringing bill and dealing with payment. I would return however this is just some feedback so they can hopefully address this and improve their waitress service! :)

    Hi Polly, Many thanks for your recent visit and taking the time to leave your feedback, we love to hear from our guests! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your tapas choices, our chefs will be so pleased! Thank you for your note on your service aspects, I am so sorry you had to ask more than once for condiments and felt the wait between arrival and ordering was a little slow, we will absolutely address with the team the importance of ensuring tasks are prioritised especially so on a busy evening. Huge thanks again for your visit and feedback, both very much appreciated :). We hope to welcome you again soon for another tapas treat!
