    Lovely waitress, just the right amount of attention. Food was tasty and just rhe right amount as advised by staff. Generally we'll.prices but £5 for a few olives is still hard to see! Only a few tables with seats rather than stalls so if you don't like sitting on stalls and it's busy might be worth reconsidering. Overall would definitely recommend

    Food was delicious! And had a great vibe, although we were left waiting for some dishes for a while, luckily we weren’t rushing to get out so, would recommend to a friend!

    Booked this “authentic Spanish restaurant” for dinner with my wife on a Saturday night. Turned up to find BOTH floors with a large telly showing the rugby and hoardes of England and South Africa fans watching the game. Waitress tried to show us to our table for two I between groups of people all standing up watching the rugby. Is this a pub? We didn’t stay. Shame, as the food looked ok. This place needs to work out what it is, though.
