    Great selection of food with plenty of choice for every taste. Does tend to be a bit noisy. Not impressed with the service, one dessert arrived after everyone else had finished theirs and it was only a lemon sorbet.

    The service was the best part. The fast paced guitar music which would have been more suited to daytime. Octopus was chewy. Prawns very good. They didn’t have all the beers they advertised on their menu.

    We enjoyed a variety of delicious tapas including tomato bread, chicken brochettes, meatballs, and cod. The sangria was pretty good. Service was friendly.

    The service was great so I can’t complain about that at all. The food for the most part tasted great just the prawns weren’t cleaned very well in the paella and the muscles were not fresh

    We were a group of 8, going in for a quick (ish) lunch on a work away day. It was perfect, we chose the set menus to make it easier and there was certainly plenty of it. The service was brilliant too, so would definitely recommend it.
