This is a great restaurant with fabulous, authentic Spanish food. The staff are attentive without being overbearing, and did I mention the food is just out of this world! If you love Spanish cuisine, or just love a warm friendly vibe, this is the place for you.

I took a client last night, in the hope that it would be a respectable venue. It was fabulous...the owner was friendly and attentive and we let him choose a range of tapas dishes for us. The quality was excellent, and the variety astonishing. The Spanish Pinot Grigio was very acceptable as well. We felt entirely at ease and had... More

What a fantastic experience. We booked a table via the restaurants website a couple of weeks in advance. On arrival, we were seated at the "Chef's table" where we were able to watch the goings on of the kitchen during the evening. We ordered the chef's selection, which provided us with tasting plates of the staff's favourite dishes. Head chef,... More
