    Beautiful little gem in Harrogate. The reviews were amazing, so we went and were not disappointed. Fantastic atmosphere, the staff were unbelievable, and the food was out of this world. Highly recommend. A must if in Harrogate. Please book. It is not a big restaurant

    Pre theatre tapas. Food and service was excellent but we ordered too much. 2 dishes per person would have been enough. :-)

    Enjoyed excellent tapas meal. Very friendly and attentive staff. A little quiet but as you may expect on a Monday evening. Will return on our next visit to Harrogate.

    Once you've climbed the rather steep stairs, the restaurant is lovely and spacious with modern decor. The air conditioning is quite fierce but that may suit some customers. The food is made to order and all of it is delicious. The tapas selection is excellent value: plentiful and very well presented. They have decent wines and a non alcoholic beer too. If it was on the ground floor, I think it would be packed put. Well worth a visit.
