"Inauthentic food, tasteless and poor."

"It tasted a rice with tomato and is clear the sea food is cold and not fresh at all."
"The only let down was the fish - 3 small pieces, sat on top of a stew/soup."
Value for Money
Pros:
"In total for 5 tapas, 2 mains, bottle of wine, dessert and coffee we paid £90, which is great."
"A wonderful restaurant with attentive, friendly staff. We had the 3 tapas offer at lunch and quality and portion size were very good and excellent value for money."
"Although the meals may not be the cheapest, the portion sizes make it excellent value for money!"
"By far the best tapas in Manchester."
"Food was amazing as per usual."
"Great food for great price."
"The early bird deal is an absolute steal, and runs all evening on Sundays."
Cons:
"Priced towards the higher end of mid range and as such just nudges it down to 4 stars."
"prices have risen over the past couple of years - probably on the back of good reviews?"
"very small portions😳 we still felt hungry afterwards."
"However, the portion sizes aren't that great, so while it's not expensive, the value for money is somewhat low."
"The food is OK but again overpriced for portion sizes typical City prices I suppose, you expect to get your pants pulled down for mediocre food and drink."
"Very tasty and flavoursome food. However, If you're hungry and wanna have lunch, probably best to avoid it as the tapas portions they offer (3 tapas for £15) can barely count as appetisers."
"The sangria was the most expensive sangria I've ever tasted."
Booking and Accessibility
Pros:
"The restaurant can get very busy, so would recommend booking beforehand."
"The place is easy to find and is wheelchair accessible which is great."
"One of my friends has a peanut allergy and when we made the staff aware they were incredibly helpful and gave us suggestions based off of these dietary requirements."
Cons:
"Unfortunately they don't have online booking system which is a bot annoying cause their phone is busy all the time i was trying to call to book a table."
"Booked a table for 5.30 arrived at 5.25 table not ready told to go for a walk and return in 15 minutes."
"Whilst choosing drinks from the menu we were approached by staff and told there wasn't in fact, a table available."
"We were a group of 4 but we were surprised when we asked for the bill there was a 10£ service charge... we were going to tip anyway but we all thought was a bit strange that It wasn't optional."
"Will definitely not be returning."
"No atmosphere in this branch. The staff has no clue about wine they’re selling."
