NOT gluten free friendly!! We ordered GF items but then they gave us none gluten free items and my partner has celiac and now our day is ruined!! I’m so upset and also on top of that they charged us for it.

I’m celiac, ordered from their gluten free menu, they served us regular bread. Ate it thinking it was gluten free, started feeling sick, when it came time to pay the bill, I mentioned it and they removed 1.50, for the gluten free bread from the bill. I’m about to have a terrible day to having eaten their bread and they had the cheek to take 1.50 off the bill. Any reputable place would have not charged us anything. Extremely disappointed by the way we were treated there. Do not recommend.

We went a couple of times, both for lunch and dinner. Each time unfortunately they messed up the orders, bringing us food we didn't order and forgetting food we actually ordered however the food was very good. We tried anything from fish to prosciutto to tortillas and enjoyed it all. Staff was friendly and in general the atmosphere was nice. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food and really friendly staff. Online said fully booked but I rang in case and they had a window seat. Despite a busy service we weren’t waiting long at all. All the plates were amazing and would happily visit again!

Visited 2 weeks ago at 9pm (closes at 10pm) and it was quite clear the boss man (guy in skinny jeans) couldn't be bothered to serve us, he then reluctantly gave us a table. The impression i get is that this is more of a bar than a restaurant as the food was below average, covered in salt and drowned in vinegar (if you read other reviews you'll see a similar thread). The most disappointing thing for us was the attitude of the boss... all a bit weird.

A great little eatery with lovely tapas.

Everything was great. Food and service were fantastic. Just be aware of the £3.50 croquettes. Lovely to eat, but hit the bill different.

We love Gambas…terrific, great value and brilliantly served food in a superb location. The calamari are especially delicious washed down with an excellent glass of Albariño. Glad to see local Wiper & True also served. Would 100% recommend.

Ordered the iberico pork meat dish, that was my favourite of the night 10/10DEFINITELY recommend trying.The garlic butter(?) prawns were really mid. Didnt actually taste the garlic.Salt grilled prawns were very nice, 8/10. You can even munch on the prawn legs.Muscles in the cream sauce was really really delicious.I would definitely say this place is better for drinks and late supper than for a meal.Service could have been better, but understandable that they were understaffed and rush hour… and staff was serving a private table.Would recommend coming on a weekday night as with all restaurants ?. This is the kind of restaurant that I would go once just to try. Unlikely that I would go back

Delicious food. Simple fare, expertly cooked. I don’t think I’ve tasted nicer asparagus. Another favourite was their signature dish Gambas pil pil. Thank you - I’d visit again if I lived in Bristol.

I haven't tried the food here, but I loved the staff. They were lovely and they refused our order for oysters. They explained that oysters are currently unsafe in the UK due to the poor water quality in the bays. Thanks guys <3
