The service was amazing and food was great except all the hot dishes came out warm or room temperature. Still great but disappointing that such a simple thing would have raised the level significantly.

The meal was excellent. The stuffed gnocchi was my favourite dish of the night! The combination of taleggio and truffle complemented each other very well. The service was attentive and friendly. The waiter made my birthday dinner feel very special!

What an amazing place to escape to on a cold winters night. You are transported into a Spanish blend of flavours, music and decor. The bikini sandwich paired with the croquettes are definitely a must and will offer you a knockout punch of flavour. Great place for a 1st, 2nd and 23rd date.
