    Had a lovely meal but was absolutely gutted to find that the paella has been taken off of the menu. Service was fantastic. We had a great time.

    We’ve been several times and it’s a great experience. However on this occasion we had seated next to us a family with a very poorly behaved child who was kicking my wife’s seat, screaming banging the table and generally not happy to be present. I spoke to who I perceived to be the head waitress and asked that we be allowed to move tables as clearly our view of a special night out was not aligned with our neighbours. This was refused, there were several empty tables which I pointed out and it was explained these were being kept for the next shift of diners. After we had finished our meal and it wasn’t long until pick up we were asked if we’d like to move. We explained that it was a bit late. This was not a great experience and I felt our reasonable request could have been accommodated. It spoiled our evening.
