Was lured in by the decor as it's quite striking from the outside with all the Spanish paraphernalia. Unfortunately the food didn't quite live up to image. It wasn't bad just wasn't great, the meatballs were bland, as were the sweet potato fries. The padron peppers weren't seasoned enough either. I know it's tapas but the portions didn't feel generous for the price. A pint of beer is practically £9 inc. service charge which is steep and my partner was convinced the churros was frozen. We were almost double charged for one item to which the waiter replied 'well it's only £4' - then he was having issues with the card machine and practically grabbed my credit card out of my hand. It's because he hadn't pressed the right button. Doughnut! At just under £100 for two I won't be returning.

Wow, I took my missus here for her birthday and we were not disappointed.From the moment we stepped into the restaurant we were transported to Spain, the decor is simply wonderful and set expectations for the food immediately. Needless to say we were not disappointed. There was a fantastic selection and the most memorable was (I forget the name by was the house special priced at around 26 pounds) skewered steak cooked to our preference in a delicious garlic, herb and salt dressing. The meat was an abundance of flavour and not one bit of fat on it whatsoever. I can absolutely see why it was the house special and we highly recommend it and was complimented by the usual tapas dishes which were splendid.The sangria was wonderful and highly recommended, complimented our meal nicely.I can only assume this is a family run business by the way the staff were so attentive and care they showed for their customers.Topped off nicely with a Birthday surprise for my partner at the end!I certainly will frequent this gem of an establishment and I highly recommend it to anyone reading this. You will not be disappointed!To the staff - thank you for a most special experience and we cannot wait for our next visit!

Usually, I refrain from leaving restaurant reviews unless they're positive, but in this instance, I feel compelled to warn potential customers. We visited this establishment over the weekend, initially excited by its inviting interior. Upon entering, the atmosphere was pleasant. Opting for a sangria and water, we began with three tapas: chorizo, croquetas, and crispy bites. Unfortunately, the chorizo was extremely tough and lacking in good flavor, a disappointment for someone who has spent considerable time in Spain and never encountered such poor quality chorizo. The croquetas and bacalao were passable but seemed to be straight from the freezer, fried and served. I am not say they were, but taste like it!!!!. Next came the seafood paella. The fish was of low quality, and the mussels emitted an unpleasant odor, and couldn't eat the prawns , truly a disappointing experience. The only saving grace was the dessert, the churros, which were barely adequate. The total expenditure for two was 100 pounds, and I felt swindled.This was my first and last visit to this establishment. But hey considering other positive review, I would say the chef was not on is best day!!!! But not much he could do with the product anyway. My suggestion to the management? Invest on good quality product and premium ingredient in order to maintain high the good tradition of Spain. Wish you all the best and good luck ?

My daughter and I visited her last night.I ordered a beer and she had a glass of wine. The waiter brought it to the table and then disaster....... im not sure exactly what happened, but the glass of wine and beer ended up all over me. They were very cold and went all over my top and trousers. I was taken to the ladies and given some wipes. We ordered our dinner, which was very nice but very disappointed that nothing was taken off the bill in some form of compensation. Walked back to our hotel with very wet trousers and top!!!!!!

What a lovely find. Great food, very friendly and welcoming staff, and nice décor. Could have been in Spain if not for the weather.

Must be good, my wife is Spanish and she enjoyed the food, Octopus was cooked to perfection, the only let down was not enough kids running around screaming for that real authentic Spanish restaurant feel.

Was away for work and had an evening meal at this restaurant. Was a quiet weekday, so not many diners. Overall food was ok, had three tapas dishes which was plenty for one person. Price wise for the area was average priced dishes.

Everything is fantastic. Lively vibe. Delicious food. Only lost a star as there was only 1 red wine by the glass also no cava or spirits on the drinks menu. A glass of rioja or cava would have made it perfect.

This place once was amazing shame really they let the standards slip and put the prices up for smaller portions.It's gone from 5 stars to 1 in my opinion. We won't be coming back.

I strongly recommend this restaurant authentic and fresh. The Black paella is my favourite but all tapas are so great.

Visited while away on business and really enjoyed my meal. As a single dinner I was made to feel welcome and the friendly staff helped me choose my meal...
