Tantalising tapas with a Spanish atmosphere. Service was very quick and attentive. All food selected was of a high quality and full of flavour. Would return!

Oh dear! First a wait to be seated even though we were literally one of only 2 couples. Then something we wanted, not on the menu (never mind). Service was pretty dreadful. Food felt and tasted like it was microwaved from days before. One dish was raw, but nobody came to check on anything... so when we called them to clear we said it was raw and that we weren't paying for it. This was met with an "OK, sorry about that" which made us think it happens a bit. Then 2 espressos one of which was cold on arrival, but by that time all I wanted to do was get out... last minute we got what seemed like a genuine apology. You get 2 stars because you didn't argue about the raw item, you showed me to the disabled toilets without being asked and the potatoes with garlic mayo were really really nice.Vegetarian options: 3 of the dishes we ordered were veggie- Padron peppers, mixed med. veg with oregano and potatoes with garlic mayo.Parking: Not too far and relatively not too expensive to park with good directions on leaving the parking area.

We have been eating at tapas bar for years when previous owner was alive .Yesterday we decided to call for lunch and now apparently you have to book a table. We were seated in a corner of another room and we both ordered moussaka.What arrived was mashed potato with mince mixed through .No sauce of any kind but chef added 2 sliced of courgette and tiny piece aubergine. Melted cheese on top.In all of my 61 years I have never been served moussaka like this . It was disgusting.If chef did nt have moussaka prepped I wish they just said so and I would have chosen something else.When somewhere only sells Spanish and Greek dishes how the hell can’t they make a decent moussaka.Very disappointing and we won’t be returning for a long while

Great service but good seemed too salty.

We loved this place. So many vegetarian options! Great way to order with a copy of the menu to tick. Pretty fast service. Friendly staff. Food was delicious and portions were adequate. We went overboard with ordering! And every item turned out to be good! We've only tried the tapas so far, hope to try the gyros next time. They looked good too on the neighbouring tables!

Great place. Only had a couple of drinks at bar. Not too busy but nice vibe. Been for food a while ago which was really good.

Id like to start by saying, the staff were incredible and very friendly and the bar itself was beautiful. It may be because i live in Spain and was over for work, but the food was not spanish tapas. I had the gambas pil pil and potatas bravas and it was not what pil pil and bravas is supposed to be. My advice would be to visit a spanish restaurant or have a chef that knows the spanish ingredients to know how to make it. Sorry
