Disappointing meal for a restaurant that looks great inside and has a good atmosphere.The food was far too garlicky, it repeated on us for days. They had run out of goats cheese mouse for the salads and aubergine. The Albondigas were very overcooked.Such a shame.

Our visit was about 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Having been greeted and seated we waited patiently once we had decided what to order for a member of the team to come over. No one looked over to see if we needed anything. It was not that busy and there were plenty of staff. They chatted to one and other and cleared tables. After what felt like an uncomfortable time someone came to clear the table next to us so I took the opportunity to ask if we could please have our order taken. Order placed we sat in a freezing draught from the front door that was constantly being left half open. The waitress then returned and informed us one of the items we wanted was not available. Not a massive problem but it was a vegan option and they were limited as it was. The beers arrived but they were not the ones we asked for and when we asked for them to be changed the waiter said 'no problem' and disappeared. After another period of nothing happening we made the decision to leave. We let the guy behind the bar know we were going and we then went to another tapas bar. Please see my other reviews to find out how that went.

Absolutely awful! Slow service, poor menu choice, dirty tables and glass needed to be changed. Ordered the half chicken which was supposed to be marinated in a secret blend of garlic and herbs, the secret is out…there’s no garlic or herbs!!! Mine was supposed to come with salad…a bowl of lettuce!!! Seriously, there was nothing else in the bowl!!!The toilets were disgusting, dirty and broken, and they have the cheek to add a service charge to the bill which is already a rip off!

We ate here last night and were so disappointed we tried around 12 different dishes and all were over priced and below par in our opinion. Meat balls were so dry you couldn’t get a fork in them. £10 beetroot salad was just a few pieces of beetroot without any kind of dressing. Mac and cheese was bland, Caesar salad was abysmal. Brown Avacado, brown chicken. I could go on. Hugely disappointing.

Filthy stained fabric on the seats, key things like olives/meatballs & chorizo not available at 6pm, overpriced bland food, 12.5% service charge automatically included in the bill. The only good thing was the excellent service from the waitress who was on her own due to staff sickness.

Tasteless burger. Just an all round bad experience for all 5 of us. Some of us ordered tapas which didn’t arrive together, isn’t the point of tapas to enjoy the dishes all at once? The broccoli dish was so hard in parts it was inedible. The tofu burgers were mushy and had no flavour whatsoever, we asked for a vegan menu and the waitress said she didn’t have a printed version so we could look at the vegan menu off of her phone! The seats were filthy. Didn’t bother to waste my money and order a desert as the food we had was dire. That was without doubt the worst vegan burger I’ve ever had ( a bun full of mushy nothingness) The only thing I enjoyed was the wine. Also flush not working in the toilet. Sorry but I won’t be returning. Awful. And what’s really disappointing is you don’t respond to any of the bad reviews on here. I will spend my money elsewhere in future.

For everyone! We went as a group of 4, staff incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and what would work for all of us. An in inviting atmosphere, delicious food and lovely staff!

We decided to dine here on a cold Thursday afternoon approx 12:30pm. we opted for the lunch menu as we thought it was a good deal (2 course for £15.95) most of us got the padron peppers and the steak and fries, it came out in a timely manner and was very delicious. our waitress ellie was really attentive, quickly asking how food was and asking if we wanted anymore drinks, and then clearing plates almost instantly after we had finished and offered desserts and coffees which we didn’t go for. all in all a very good lunch time meal will be back!
We booked to go again as we’d enjoyed our time here some years ago and have eaten in many other of their restaurants. Our time last night can only be described as disappointing and a little sad because we’d really been looking forward to our meal. The food its self was nice although the tapas offer on the menu wasn’t as extensive as it used to be. The first table we were seated at was in a terrible draft so asked to be moved but our next table was only moderately warmer. The staff weren’t engaged or particularly attentive. There was no buzzing atmosphere for a Saturday evening either. When we left at 8.15 there were only 2 other tables with diners. Such a shame as it feels like it’s running into the ground. Don’t think we’ll be returning.

Very cold inside, no sherry available, no homemade lemonade available, food so so. Don’t bother going- plenty of other restaurants. I felt sorry for the staff, trying to keep a sinking ship afloat…

After being seated and given menus, we asked if there were any heaters as it was very cold inside the restaurant. We were told the heating was broken, we decided that we might warm up once we got some hot food & drinks. We don’t live in the area and had made the journey especially as we’d eaten here twice before. The food was good but got cold quickly as both the serving dishes and air temp was very cold. We ate quickly and asked for the bill. The waitress wasn’t very sympathetic & on leaving we saw rugs on chairs near the door, which we could have been offered, or maybe they could have offered a free hot drink? We were very disappointed with our visit and found another eatery to have our dessert & coffee. Such a shame as previously it had been very good.
