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

Absolutely loved this place! We love Spanish food and are often disappointed as it’s never like in Spain… But here, we really felt like in a local restaurant in Spain. Lovely atmosphere, super warm, dynamic and smiling service. All the tapas were delicious and the cocktails were tasty and generous. We surely will be back! ¡Muchisimas gracias!

Great food that came quickly but some of our drinks were forgotten and we had to ask for the dessert menu and bill rather than it being offered.

Salmon was fine but honestly nothing special. Greek salad was very tasty and fresh artichoke appetizer disappointing but staff quickly replaced with a wonderful side salad. Service was very good and very friendly
