    Nice friendly and good value. Only small comment a few more churros would make the desserts feel better. Apart from that everything is nice and no upselling which is refreshing !

    Absolutely superb! Delicious food and divine cocktails—made even better with half-price drinks on Sundays! The venue is stunning, and the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A top-tier experience I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable gathering.

    Lovely atmosphere and food, wine very expensive however. Cheapest glass is about €9:50 which seems excessive

    It was a really lovely evening. We sat in the garden and it was a great setting. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and wine were superb and perfectly complemented each other. Would definitely recommend.

    Staff were lovely and the place is nice. Unfortunately, the food was poor. Calamari was soggy, croquettes too. My veggie dishes weren't great, the peppers had very little done to them. The cheese board was fine.

    Hi the Bodega salad was very disappointing, the rocket was freezing cold and wet, straight from the fridge, it was very unpleasant, I did say it when the girl came to take the plates as all the rocket went back soggy. She said she would mention it to the chef but I never heard anymore.
