WOW We visited today for my birthday and had the set menu which is a case of tell us anything you dislike and we will feed you. A very clever concept of eating a blind menu and what a treat. Every dish packed full of flavour with fresh ingredients presented beautifully. The setting is stunning the service is stunning the food is stunning and for 10 courses each including 4 drinks was a stunning price of £51. This is a hidden gem in a lovely part of the world and blew me away on every level. This is Spanish Tapas at a different level. Thanks to all the staff.
- Bowls with large chips on the rim used for serving dishes
- Bread inedible due to being burnt - also didn’t seem to be freshly made - feels like a supermarket par-baked thing.
- I’d put a note on the booking that it was for my mums birthday and how hard she works , they didn’t acknowledge this in any way by saying happy birthday etc. overall the hospitality just wasn’t great , an upbeat and energetic server who also ensures they are presentable makes a big difference to peoples experience. We were also ignored as we left saying goodbye and thank you, even though we tipped
- all the tables are different which feels a bit odd , one of which has high backed armchairs at it and personally I’d ask to move if seated there as it’s not appropriate for eating a sit down meal at, you’d have to perch forward the entire time.
- There’s bits of plaster about to fall off of the ceiling near the bathrooms
- Drinks menus were very sticky - Clipboard menus were clunky to use and felt unprofessional , the set menu isn't on the menu, we had to ask about it.
- Plates weren’t refreshed between courses so you had to scrape sauce from the last dishes over to the side
- A few of the dishes were very salty
- I think if you are serving a full table with a set menu then the dishes really need to be spot on and delicious. I came here a few years ago and it was incredible food , but I’d honestly give it a 4 out of 10. It was…. Fine? just about fine.
- the cold tapas was very underwhelming and not a lot of it for 4 people. The hot tapas was marginally better but salty , the chicken wings overcooked so hard to eat and overall an odd selection.
- The music also kept cutting out and it made for a very awkward atmosphere, I’m also not sure why you would play Taylor swift songs in a tapas restaurant.
Wouldn’t visit again unfortunately , this was one of my favourite restaurants.
Excellent tapas bar. Warm friendly welcome from the helpful staff.
Set menu of 9 dishes, mix of hot and cold. Depends what is fresh and in season and delivered on the day.
Good range of wines and beer including Estrella Galicia 0.0 which was pretty good.
Food was cooked well and the service was first class. Decor, music and seating arrangement created a nice relaxed atmosphere for a night out.
Other two members of our party loved their evening, I did feel that the set menu only format took something away from the tapas experience. For me tapas is all about picking several small dishes of food from the menu and mixing and matching your favourites, enjoying a drink and then ordering some more if you still have room!
The set menu format was almost like a tasting menu where you have little control over what food will be served that evening.
Cant fault anything, service and food/drink was great and evening was thoroughly enjoyed. Just not convinced by set menu.
Nice authentic style tapas restaurant. No food menus were given, instead only asked if we have any dietary requirements. We were served 6 cold starters and 6 hot main dishes all of which were amazing. We shared some sangria which was amazing and got a dessert each. We will definitely come back here !
