I like tapas. This was ok. Our table of six was near the bar and was at times noisy from staff banging things around. This was a Friday evening. Seemed busy enough and greeted as we walked in.
Immediate surroundings very basic. I sat facing a wooden door with a tiled wall to my left. It resembled something out of a cloak room.
Food ok but no option to order according to number of guests. So you end up cutting things in half or you have to order another dish and end up with too many. Should be really easy to sort that out.
But they have a good selection and the hot dishes were served nice and hot.
The lady that served us was helpful and smiley. Good wine and drinks menu.
I’d return but in a smaller group.

Thank you for your message. Yes, it may have been a noisy night. Our restaurant is very busy on Friday nights. We reserved you an easily accessible table upon your request. It's one of the most private and preferred tables in the restaurant. I apologise, I can see that it wasnt the table you were expecting. Our goal is to ensure our guests feel comfortable. Our food is meant to be shared, and we recommend ordering 3 tapas per person. Please speak to your host on your next visit. Our team will be happy to assist you with your tapas selection, and we will definitely consider offering you a more relaxed dining experience. we hope you come back again, we’ll strive to provide you with a better experience to achieve a 5⭐️out 5 as we usually do.
Thank you
Carlos
