   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.

   Excellent food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommend the basque cheesecake to finish - real crowd pleaser! Will be back.

   Food was a little slow to come but other than that everything was impeccable!

   Completely different to our first fantastic visit. Edited: Spoke to the manager & understand that there was staffing pressures. Hoping that the next visit will be as amazing as the first 🙏🏽

   Really wanted to like this place. However food was just lacking. Really underwhelming. And the scallop ceviche was just not good. Really loud lively place. I think that’s what the focus is on rather than the food. Won’t be rising back unfortunately.

   Great night, but the live music got a bit lively and got steaming ended up being 2 hours late for work the next day

   Great atmosphere with the live band but they still haven’t cracked the service with wrong dishes being brought to our table and other dishes not arriving

    The service was very good and the staff attentive. Our table however was more suitable for 2 people and a little small for 3 people. The menu provided a good choice. However there was a live singer that started at 9pm which was incredibly loud and we struggled to have a conversation due to the volume.
