    Every dish was excellent, the server was very clear in explaining the portion sizes and guiding us to order the right amount of food. Highlights were the stuffed peppers and the Paella. Service was excellent and extremely attentive, card machine was down on the day and they called in advance to let us know. We'll be back.

    The staff was friendly and accommodating. They helped with food suggestions. The food was delicious. We tried croquettes w/cod, aubergine with mushrooms, spicy clams which were very tasty and chicken & chorizo kebabs. Also a basket of nice warm fresh bread. A tasty dessert of apple torte with ice cream. Overall a very nice experience!

    Having chosen our wine, we discovered it was not in stock. The alternative was however enjoyable. We then selected our tapas and were then advised that two of them were sold out. We feel we should have been told prior to selecting the dishes that they were sold out. A lot of chorizo based dishes on the menu but ample fish/veg options. The food in general is good.
