Cons:

Value for Money

  • "We felt it was good value for money."

Cons:

  • "Soo over priced and tiny portions even for tapas."
  • "I was disappointed at the price of drinks."
  • "The prices for tapas were ridiculous, £12 for a selection of meat which ended up being stodgy bread and 12 measley slices."
  • "Overpriced small portions bit unfortunate as was really looking forward to it!"
  • "Food seems a bit overpriced for what it is."

  • "The music was very loud, and despite us sitting in one booth we struggled to hear each other."
  • "The environment was lively but even at half capacity it was so noisy it was hard to hold a conversation."
  • "Very clubby vibe also which wasn’t great for a Thursday after work."
  • "With the tacky decoration and sinful music blaring from the speaker, I wouldn’t come back."
  • "An odd place, the decor made it like clubbing in someone's grans house!"
  • "A dissapointing meal, with an unpleasant smell in the downstairs seating."
