    Absolutely fantastic meal out. The most delicious food served by the friendliest, welcoming, efficient staff. Every single dish was delicious and well presented - my favourites were the octopus, lamb and scallops. A big thank you to Muminah our waitress, who ensured our night was the best.

    Great service, nice ambience to chat and the food was very good quality. I eat out a lot and this will now be on my list as a place to bring family and friends.

    Our experience overall was quite poor and when we spoke to staff about this they weren’t bothered. A drink and food item were forgotten about, for the food item the waiter apologised and said it would be brought straight away. 20minutes later it had not arrived and we asked for the bill at this point, the item was on the bill so needed to ask for it removed. The waiter blamed short staffing and it being busy. Food was nice enough but very small portions even for tapas. Wine was good.

    Food was really good, some dishes had a fusion twist rather than traditional flavours associated with tapas. Lovely staff in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
