There is plenty of room you can sit inside and outside, and enjoy the company of your loved ones or just on your own as you read your paper.
Staff very helpful, warm and attentive. I will definitely be going there again
All of my fish was overcooked but the croquettes were fabulous handmade bombs of flavour. I absolutely loved the restaurant. Next time I'll order meat.
I could mention loads of the dishes but particularly good are the lamb chops and the sardines.
All of the dishes are reasonably priced and don't order too much to start with as the portions are generous and you can always order more if you need to.
When given the bill we were charged a £10 graduity charge, which for 2 people we thought was too much money. When we questioned the waiter about it he was adament that we paid and wasn't taking no for an answer. When I told him I wasn't paying it he made me write down on the reciept why I wouldnt pay it. Once I paid the bill he slammed the reciept on the table and walked off, as we were leaving none of the staff said goodbye and gave us the cold shoulder.
I would recommend coming here for food, but in regards to the terrible service I would not recommend coming here for dinner, in my opinion some of the staff need some serious customer service trianing, although some staff had a good level of customer service but were let down by the others. Also the kitchen needs a rethink of value for money on food, as well as some dishes needing more seasoning (vegetables), although some food such as the steak were tasty and the potatoes. It is a shame as the service from some of the staff does not make this restaurant worth going back to, although not all staff were to blame. Also a fair warning, be prepared for a very high service charge even for 2 people.
After waiting a few mins we got shown to our table which was surrounded by larger parties of people. As it was so busy the place was loud anyway, but with these large groups it was a real struggle to hold a conversation, which did blight it a little for us. There’s atmosphere, and there’s simply too loud, unfortunately. Another couple near us mouthed the same concerned to us.
Once drinks arrived we were asked to move table so they could use ours to accommodate another large party by pushing some tables together - naturally it was a no brainer and so we moved to a slightly quieter table.
As we decided upon Tapas (they do normal meals as well) we chose 7-dishes which ended up being a little too much really but hey-ho!
Be warned that you may find bones in the chicken, we shared a rice with chicken and prawn which had bits of bone in, personally I think that’s a bit poor when it’s mixed in with rice 🤷🏼♂️.
The staff were clearly very busy but kept it polite and professional.
We will go back, but maybe chose a quieter evening.
Wish they did more wines by the glass...
