    Nice enough surroundings and good food, although was overpriced for the portion sizes (e.g. 2 scallops for £12). Also some of the food could have been hotter. Worth a visit.

    1st time here, and cannot fault anything. Staff friendly and helpful, food excellent, although vegan meatballs I thought a bit dry. Great value too as Tuesdays you get 25% off! Thoroughly enjoyed whole experience. Thanks to all the staff.

    Absolutely 1st class meal with lovely wine in a great location. Always love this place and it was the first choice for our anniversary meal out as we had our first date night out here when it was Sol y sombre. Great choice of tapas super tasty accompanied by a lovely bottle of Malbec. The waiting staff were first class very attentive and helpful….. can’t rate this place highly enough

    Food was good overall but portions were very small, ideal for a light lunch but if a hearty eater you’d need 4 plates each . Scallops were delicious just wish they’d been more than 2.
