Wasn’t worth £80 for the small tapas costing nearly £10 for a small dish waitress was advising people to order 3/5 dishes each steak was tough couldn’t eat itAtmosphere wasn’t good as waitresses were telling people the time they had to leave there table so def wasn’t relaxing tried it wouldn’t go back .Wheelchair accessibility: No definitely not wheel chair friendly

Great food and service. Only downside was no vegan dessert, sure you can try harder guys. A fruit salad would have sufficed as my friend had plenty with her dessert ☺️

Lovely fresh food, happy, chatty staff, had a really nice lunch.

The food was okay. But not amazing. & for the prices charged per dish I would have expected something of a lot more quality & larger portions than were presented. The chorizo & black pudding dish only had one half slice of shop bought black pudding & the chorizo sliced as thin as possible & hardly any of it. Patatas bravas portion was very small. King prawns were tiny & looked like supermarket quality. Our last dish also came out about 10/15 minutes qafter everything else to the point we thought it had been forgotten. No one explained that the dishes would come out one by one. Service wasn’t the best either. & for it to be the only empty restaurant in the vicinity when there’s something on at the caird hall, that tells you something. Too expensive for what it is. Bill was £60 for both of us & that was with only 1 can of coke & tap water ordered for drinks. Left still feeling hungry.

It was okay. Booked in for mother's day as I had heard good things. We were seated at the small table right at the toilet door which they should just do away with. It's really off-putting having people come and go to the toilet so close while you're eating. The service wasn't great. I asked a few questions about different tapas as I wasn't sure what they were and the waitress looked put out at having to answer them. It might be an idea to have a brief description of what each thing is on the menu if the staff get fed up telling customers what they are. The food was nice enough but I did feel I didn't order as much as I would have because I felt uncomfortable asking what each dish was. The broccoli was quite bitter.

Absolutely delicious food.I'm so glad our original plan didn't work out, as it lead us to going to The Selkie as it was nearby. Phenomenal!

Fantastic spot for tapas. The service was great, food was fantastic. The drinks were good, cocktails were awesome, draft beer was a bit

Beautiful interior. Don’t be put off by the name, this place does great tapas. The interior is lovely, staff friendly and food arrives promptly. We loved all the dishes we ordered - a really lovely dinner. It was pretty quiet when we were there but it deserves more customers based on other places we’ve eaten in the city centre. Give it a go !Vegetarian options: Really good and varied choice

Best steak sandwich I have ever had. The chimichurri was superb. My wife had a cheese scone, which was also very good too.

Second visit here, just as good as last time. Beautiful, tasty dishes, flavours are great. Great value for money, brilliant service. Plenty of vegetarian and meat dishes.

Lovely place. Small & intimate. Very tasty menu with the option to pick multiple smaller plates or a larger plate. Reasonable vegetarian options. Service was great, food was delicious.Vegetarian options: Not a huge amount of choice but they did it well & at least it wasn't the obligatory bean burger!

Lovely tapas lunch. Started with the olives, bread and oil then shared 6 tapas dishes between us. Each dish was served when we wanted it and all were very tasty. (particularly the chorizo & black pudding). Finished with a large slice of cake. Service was friendly and efficient. A beer and 2 rum & cokes - bill £65. Definitely go back

FANTASTIC selection of tapas! Went with my wife, daughter n grand daughter (aged 67 to 19) & there was something for everyone on the menu. Only minor problem was that the tapas was not all served at once. Try it you won't be disappointed!

Go for the chorizo appetizer - it's to die for! Absolutely beautiful little gem of a place - and they are always busy. Have an event coming up and tempted to book - as they appear to be very accommodating for special occasions at night time. Now need to try their Selkie Ferry / adjoining restaurant three doors down.

We ate here with family in November. The food was excellent and great value for money. There were plenty of options for kids and the small plates were great to share with a group. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
