Anniversary meal with family. Excellent meal 9 Raciniones between us. All really tasty! Waiter told us that they were understaffed that night due to a couple of late call offs. Not noticeable - service attentive and timely. Our 3rd visit and did not disappoint! Good Spanish home cooking- friendly staff

The friendliness, and attentiveness, of all of the staff was superb.
The quality, and portion size(s) of the tapas was excellent, and there were absolutely no time constraints/pressure.
In fact we were "encouraged" to prolong this truly Spanish experience, and found ourselves still being there after the past part of 5hrs, (our choice completely, and absolutely nothing to do with the speed and efficiency of the service/staff).
DON'T THINK TWICE ABOUT GOING, JUST GO EXPERIENCE, AND LIKE US, YOU'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK!
ABSOLUTE WINNER ALL ROUND!!!!!! read less

We were lucky enough to visit on their sixth anniversary and we’re given free Sangria and paella.
We had their raciones of meatballs, mussels, peppers and potatoes, all were delicious. And the crema catalana to finish was just lovely read less

The food and atmosphere is much improved from a few years ago when perhaps it felt a little over priced and food a little flat.
However yesterday very pleased to report that it was great. Ordered a few plates of tapas - there was a nice selection of draught lagers too. The atmosphere outside was very nice with the seating area now with covered awning - where once it was bare tables and a bit of a wind trap. Inside was very busy. Other food on the menu looked very enticing particularly the mussels.
We’ll certainly be going back!

As in some other places, even in Spain, staff knowledge of dry and medium sherry was scanty. I showed the waiter a photo on my phone of Tio Pepe by Gonzalez Byass to no avail. We did notice eventually they had a Manzanilla and Pedro Ximénez available on the menu, so it was resolved and we had Manzanilla and an Estrella Damm (Bottled as there was a problem with the draught beer).
We ordered and the food came very quickly: Croquetas, Gambas al Ajillo, Chorizo a la Sidra, Ensalada de Pimientos asados and Esparragos trigueros empanados sobre Ali-Oli. All were perfect in presentation and flavour and I doubt if they could be better anywhere. Wine was reasonably priced at £22.50 for a Rioja Rosado. This was followed by Crema Catalana, coffee and Soberano brandy. Altogether a memorable meal.
The only fly in the ointment was the service, which was helpful but rather lumbering. Our waiter, I guess, was fairly new and had to be reminded at times. This would not prevent our going back, however. read less
