I'm not the biggest fan of Spanish food but haven't had any for years so thought why not try some tonight.
I looked online and this place appeared to have good reviews so off I went.
First impressions was how surprisingly busy it was on an early Thursday evening. It took a while before I was seated. I was seated at the bar first but asked if I could be seated at a table. They gave me an hour as the table was booked, which was more than enough time.
There wasn't really anything on the menu that really popped out to me so decided to play it safe and order a potato small plates and a shin beef special.
The potato arrived piping hot so I had to let it cool down for a bit. Flavourwise, I personally thought there was too much going on and I'd rather it was a more simplistic affair. I guess this is how it's meant to taste so bear that in mind.
As for the beef, that arrived a lot cooler and it did taste quite nice though I wish there was more chucks of beef. The sauce was really tasty but I had no spoon and it didn't come with any bread to soak up the juices so I wasn't sure how best to consume this dish.
Though I wish I had picked other dishes, that's not to say the food I did have was by any means bad. Its more likely I don't appreciate Spanish cuisine as much as others do.
DO NOT DINE HERE!
This has to be the worst restaurant I have been to in a very long time. We were a party of 6. Everything went well until the waitress came to take our order. She didn't know anything about the menu. The menu was in an obscure font and tiny letters, so it was very difficult to read.
That was the last time we saw her. It was a different waiter or waitress each time we ordered after that. One waiter in particular was wearing short shorts and was incredibly rude. I watched him and the other waitresses arguing at the till for ten minutes before he stomped over and threw a bill at me for 240 quid that I didn't ask for. He literally threw it on the table. Grunted at me and stomped off. Our whole table was shocked and disgusted.
They were arguing because we had a different waiter each time we requested something, and there was no system in place for our "correct" bill.
Look at the picture. That plate cost 15 quid. I ate that in two mouthfuls. I thought it was a joke when it got served to me. Starter was 8 quid for a very small piece of stale bread with a bit of feta on it. Drinks took forever to arrive, and when they were, the staff were very rude, and we did not feel welcome at all.
Needless to say, we will never come here again.
Lovely place! Super friendly staff!
The calamari could be less salty. The broccoli salad is defo recommended. Other than that all was great and with an eclectic wine selection!
Super warm and instant welcome. Meet by a massive smile at the door by Mania. All staff were positive and nice. Food was wide-ranging and expected portion sizes.
Absolutly lovely place served by Sam who explained everything to us in detail. Could not fault the food or drink!
Best place to have some tapas, reminded me of Spain. The best we've had outside of Spain. The waiter who served us, which he said it was only his 2nd day was very helpful and gave us a very good customer service 👍 we particularly loved the brocoli ensalada and the meat and cheese charcuterie was delicious. Highly recommended 👌
OMG, OMG, OMG
Spanish food experts, excellent sososo tasty.
Also a huge shout out to the staff! It was extremely warm this evening and you have been amazing.
Nice place with a good atmosphere, the food was nice enough and the pricing was what you’d expect from this type of place in town.
They also had a shop where you could buy a lot of the ingredients which were on the menu.
