    We decided to treat ourselves to a meal out after a tough day and had heard/read that Hispi was a friendly restaurant with great food. The reviews were not wrong. We were met at the door with a warm greeting and shown to our table. We were looked after by three different staff members and service was quick, efficient and friendly. We opted for the three courses for £55 option on the menu and the choices were all good. Bold and refined flavours of the sauces and purees were balanced well with perfectly cooked main ingredients, topped off with a well curated cheese board (love a dessert cheese board). Thanks for looking after us and for a great meal.
