    Really enjoyed the variety of having a 'Tapas' style meal. Very good. Shame that they may not be having the same menu at the new restaurant across the road.

    Been twice now and will continue once they move across the road. The taste of the dishes on offer is sublime, incredible, and good value. We like the decor also. So nice to find such a top end restaurant in the area.

    Food and service were great but there were two things that could be improved: 1. The tables are way too small 2. Ambience was lacking. It would help if the music was turned up slightly (we could hear everyone’s conversations as it was so quiet). Would also like to see a full menu rather than tapas

    Lovely dining experience, comfortable environment and atmosphere. Attentive staff without being too overbearing. Tasty food and a good choice of small plates.

    Great food, shame only Tapas style, as opposed to a single main course, excellent service as always.
