Very good food! As, it’s tapas and small portions can understand still good but slightly over priced but the dessert was good nonetheless!? ? Thank you! Just an observation don’t mean to complain!

Another over rated place to dine in a town trying to be something it will never be. Saturday night here is an avoid at all costs if you want a quiet meal. It’s loud to the point you can’t have a conversation without shouting. The service was ok and our waitress was good, being on a table of four at the top of the stairs was probably the better table after passing the local rabble downstairs. The food was average at best, very bland and under seasoned, the steak was cooked well but a few slices of sirloin steak at that price is outrageous. I could go on but it’s easier to say if you want tapas there’s a far better restaurant not two minutes away.

Visited for dinner yesterday and it was absolutely outstanding! My partner and I aren’t local but said we would happily make the hours drive for dinner again. We ordered the antipasto board, wild mushrooms, prawns, croquettes and potatoes. The prawns are the best prawns I have ever had, the whole meal was delicious. We then order two blood orange spritz which were again delicious. We wish we had room for dessert but just too full. Staff were lovely and service was great.

Absolutely score this place. Excellent food and service and a lovely quirky interior with lots of atmosphere. Since moving locally, we have made many visits. Support local business. They work hard against all odds.

This is the third or fourth time we have been and we had another lovely evening. Food was amazing, atmosphere was great. It does get very loud and busy downstairs with people at the bar!Parking: Parking right outside that is free no minimum stay after 6pm on a Saturday and all day Sunday. There are probably only about 10 spaces though.

We dropped in last night to give this place a try. Inside an old bank, it's spacious, there's a lot of people just having a drink and a chat, no music, just a lovely atmosphere in a well thought out setting.They have an online booking system but as this showed they had seats all evening we didn't bother, and just did a walk in.The menu isn't too big - which I like as you don't get lost trying to find something to try. There is a good range of things to go for, and these are smaller dishes, served tapas style as soon as they have prepared and/or cooked them. The wine list is good too - everything from a reasonable house wine through to stuff at £75 a bottle. We had a white and a red at £25 each and I was very happy with the price vs quality.The waiting on staff were very attentive, and for the first time in a long time, the whhite wine was placed properly in a wine bucket that had both ice and water in so the body of the bottle could submerge and remain chilled. There was also a proper cloth serviette with it to stop water dripping off the bottle when it was poured. The wine itself was served correctly by the waitress, and these little things make a big difference to me - thank you.The food was good - tasty, just enough on each plate that it didn't get overwhelming, and we left nothing behind. I hate it when you get too much food, and you end up leaving food on your plate at the end. We had stuff that was Italian/Sicilian, including regional cheeses, and there was planrty to try that you wouldn't see at your average Italian place.Minor constructive criticism hence four stars for service - the dishes arrived a lot quicker than we expected, so we still were eating cold appetisers when the hot food came. This didn't really bother me, but the Mrs would have preferred not to have all of the food on the table at once. It could also have been due to the place only having a couple of other diners, if it was packed busy with diners, the dishes may have arrived more slowly. Next time we go, we'll ask them to take their time, or order dishes in two stagese. This probably reflects on us, rather than the restaurant, but if you're going yourself, you know what to expect.Very good, it deserves its 5 stars from us, and we will come back for sure.
Sicilian style tapas. Didn't realise this when we went in, but oh my word, I very literally could order every single thing on that menu, the dishes are all varied and delicious. And even though it's tapas, the portions are definitely generous in nature, especially the sharer platter. Absolutely coming again, with more people too so I can sample more dishes!

Fantastic food served in a way that's perfect for social gatherings. Just order, sit back, relax, chat, eat, share and enjoy! First class and good value.

First visit and this was a Friday evening, very busy but luckily we had booked so no problem there. Tall table for 6 in the main bar area was spacious and clean. Staff were very attentive, ensured our glasses were replenished and that the food we ordered arrived. Because it's tapas style you're not always sure what the portions are going to be but these were good. All food was good. 6 people with lots of drinks was around £280 plus tip. Very good.

Brilliant night with the girls, great atmosphere and food was really good a different selection of tapas to the norm. Highly recommend for a fun night out!

Good Friday, 2023. A lovely sunny day. We were sat near the window so that 3 of us experienced being blinded by the sun - they could seriously do with blinds. Food came in dribs and drabs. Our starters arrived about 10 minutes after each other. If they are supposed to be individually served, this is unacceptable, as they ought to come together. If, as was suggested, they are supposed to be “like tapas”, surely they ought to be priced per person and served with sufficient portions for each member of the party to enjoy. Not terribly well thought out. Having experienced tapas elsewhere (including Spain) never have I had to endure one portion of tapas delivered 10 minutes before the proceeding one. The food itself was good and flavourful, but I’ve had “samples” from restaurants that were more filling. Cannoli… well a singular cannolo - came with all the appearance of being a genuine article, but turned out to be hollow with a tablespoon of ricotta stuffing at the beginning and end, nothing but dry air in the middle! For £7.50! Surely the profit on these is sufficient to put another 20p’s worth of ricotta in them? A half arsedly stuffed cannoli… akin to the sandwiches you buy at railway stations, which look full, but turn out to have a concertina’d, thin, single slice of ham carefully positioned along the cutting-edge! Grossly disappointed with that one! An insult to your customers, I won’t be back, and won’t be singing the praises of this place. 10/10 for flavour. 1/10 for effort.
