The food is very immaculate. The pork chop is brilliant, thank you for the chef for cooking it perfectly. Also, all the starter selections are well-curated. My favorite is the croquet, a must to try.
We had the pork chop as our main course, very delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy and posh at the same time. Service is five-star.

This is like a taste of Spain 🇪🇸 on a plate 🍽️. The food was focused on the quality of the ingredients, handled with care, and not making things overly complicated.
We had the specials andnone disappointed. The daily wine by the glass for £8 was a bargain for the quality.
The service was polite and swift and it felt like I was back in Spain.
I will definitely go again!

I came here for dinner on Thursday night, and let me say, Oksana is the most genuinely amazing waitress I've ever had the pleasure of being served by, would recommend, this girl honestly deserves a massive raise!

Overall a great experience, superb food, served relatively fast too. Tapas style starters followed by main plates.
Only two negatives from my visit, there is no function for tea or coffee which I enjoy with my dessert. Also this is not wheelchair accessible due to the steps at the entrance. But definitely worth the visit. Price for 2 people, with 3 tapas plates to start, two mains, two Desserts and 2 glasses of wine was just under £200, which is respectable for a Michelin star restaurant.

It is quite a nice restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly and casual-formal atmosphere. The menu was simple but with good options. I tried the tuna special and the flavour was really good. My wife tried the pork and it was not as espectacular but it was ok. The children menu has one option: croquetas. They were delicious but my kids didn't eat them, they ate the potatoes instead. The bill was on the high end, hence my rating. The overall value could improve but it is a very good option to dine in.

We were delighted with our anniversary lunch. Everything on the set Lunch Menu was excellent, including the house wine. What comes across most is the freshness of the ingredients and depth of flavour. Prompt, helpful and friendly buy unobtrusive service. We immediately wanted to return and try the other dishes.

We went for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Staff were very helpful. The kitchen was on full view and was very calm (take note Gordon Ramsay!). The staff seemed to have a good working relationship. As an ex-chef. I can recognise a well run kitchen. My steak was cooked perfectly medium rare.
Will definitely go again.

If you want to try really authentic Spanish dishes made with first rate ingredients made by cooks who know what they do, then this is the place. It is not a budget place, but then again, you will eat food that is made with love and tastes good!
