    We had a great evening at Lobos. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We would have liked to have stayed bit longer but our table was needed - understandable as it was a busy evening before Christmas . We'll definitely be back!

    I visited Ember Yard shortly before Christmas so it was a little more crowded than perhaps is usual, and the other diners seemed largely to be having Christmas outings. This did not distract, however, from the excellent food and the wonderful service! The staff were courteous, very helpful in explaining the menu and the drinks options, and considerate when checking if we were enjoying the meal or needed more drinks. They were a perfect combination of solicitous and discreet. The food was awesome: the croquetas were stand-out for me: crisp on the outside with a delectable creamy interior at just the right temperature not to burn your mouth but still deliver a full-flavoured experience. The lasagna was silky smooth and mouth-watering, and the tomatoes and sourdough were a great combination and delicious. I really enjoyed dinner at Ember Yard and would happily recommend it to anyone.

    Really quirky little place. Great for a change and a laugh with some friends. Nice cocktails and some nibbles. The drinks come with some little extras like some handcuffs and you get to choose the film you want to watch. Little hatch on the wall to call the waiters so you’re not disturbed. Great way to spend an hour and something different Pretty expensive though so be prepared for the bill!
