    The food was fantastic, the ambience was great and the services was great. We set at the Bar as our table was in the corner and had no view. We asked the manager to change unfortunately it was fully booked but there was a place at the bar which was perfect for us as its more relaxing. However, after awhile the manager came to us and mentioned there is a table open whether we care to seat on the table, well we turn it down but its very nice of the manager to ask us first instead of just giving it to other. Beside the bar was great and the Bartender was fantastic recommed us with great food. We took the tapas and it was good choice!
