    This is one of my favourite places to each Spanish Tapas.. I did notice that the menu had changed, less options but it wasn't an issue, still a lot of my favourite dishes. The staff here are very efficient, pleasant and knowledgeable and I love the food. The only other difference was that all our dishes came together, in the past they came as and when they were ready in typical tapas style. None of this detracted from our experience, we had a great time. The restaurant always has a great buzz about it, I look forward to visiting soon

    One of my favourite places to go, the food is superb, drinks are lovely, the staff are charming and the place is so cozy. Only downside is I don't have a small behind and the stools are quite little!

    The overall experience was positive, however, despite booking, and the restaurant being nearly empty, things did not get off to a good start as my friend and I were placed at a table right next to a pillar when there were plenty of spaces, so we asked to be moved. This was done immediately. The service was fine and the servers were attentive and the food was good. I ordered a diet coke and was given a tiny bottle so had to order a second one half way through the meal. Usually a tall glass lasts me a whole meal. When the bill came I had been charged £5.50 PER BOTTLE! This is outrageous. I know that inner city rates are high but there is no justification for this. I did not make a fuss as the prices are not set by the waiting staff, but I won't be going back.
