Bland, cold and the staples were the worst! We've been twice now to this restauraunt and it's surprisingly bad considering how nice it looks and how inexplicably popular it is! Croquettes really awful bland, horrible texture how can these be bad in a tapas restaurant! Frozen ones from the supermarket would be better! Tortilla one of my favourite bits usually and here it was cold, flavourless, nasty texture so disappointing Patatas bstavas with chicken and chorizo cold and unbelievably bland not even a hint of heat or flavour in the chorizo really really bad. Were hungry and ate it all not cheap and not good enough. Other dishes edible but nothing special. I will say the dates with blue chees...

I can’t fault the ambience or the service. However, the vegan options were very bland. The patatas bravas were just roast potatoes, with no flavour. The waitress told us afterwards the spicy chilli sauce was vegan so should have been on the potatoes. The sautéed spinach and vegetable kebabs were tasteless. Both could have been improved with garlic and spices. One of us eats meat and said their food was lovely hence the average rather than poor review. I have to say the vegetable paella on the next table looked lovely so if we go back, we’ll try that.
friendly staff, great sangria, good food. we had some tapas plates while we waited for our paella. the waiting staff warned us that it would be an hour waiting for paella as it was an extremely busy Friday evening, but it came within 40 minutes and tasted delicious. the atmosphere is brilliant, but it was extremely loud towards the back of the restaurant where we sat, the talks made hard, but a total pleasant experience! would go back!
We booked for 2 several weeks ago, told 2 sittings so only 6pm or 8.30 available. We opted for 6pm. Turned up and only 2 tables for 2, either right by the door or squashed in my the stairs. Blonde waitress couldn't care less, we went elsewhere. Don't bother with this place, trades on its location alone. Book a table now
food is good. home made aubergine pate is quite tasty as a starter. and the plan outdoors is good at a sunny day. However, make sure that they preorder the paella and confirm the incoming time with them, otherwise they must wait for a glooming time.
Nice place. Nice music in background. Calamari and peppers and meatballs. Very nice indeed. The bread was fresh from the oven.. Chocolate cake dessert with coffee was very good. Staff very nice.
Didn’t enjoy it at all. Food came out within minutes which to me says it was microwaved. No flavours, mainly deep fried. Lovely service but it couldn’t make up for the poor quality of food
We had a party of 9 attend dinner here last week and, despite the lovely waiter and food that was not bad, were treated quite inhospitably by the manager. Book a table now
We came for lunch, which has fewer options for tapasWe had the eggplant spread, the spinach, and the meatballsAll was good.
Had a pleasant pre-cinema dinner here in mid-September.
