  • "Great music, great drinks and lovely vibe."

Cons:

  • "Music was loud for no reason, especially considering there was no dance floor."
  • "The only downside was that they weren't playing the same music downstairs as they were during dinner, so we decided to go somewhere else for my type of music (rnb/hip hop)."
  • "And for a cocktail bar it was almost impossible to carry a decent conversation, because the music was too loud and not a single Spanish song played that night."
  • "As we were at the corner under the speaker, the music got so loud that we had to leave - we couldn't hear each other at all."
  • "Music at an absurdly high level for a place to eat."
  • "Music was below average."
  • "This is a place for people who do not care to speak to the people they are there with because the music is so loud my ears hurt."

Service & Staff

Pros:

  • "Amazing host minx ! The waitresses kept the drinks coming what more could u ask for !"
  • "The staff were hilarious and came round promptly with top ups and assisted us with anything we needed!"
  • "Never before I had the chance to meet a person as sweet and professional as her, great smile and always ready to help, she made me and my guests feel comfortable and welcome."
  • "The service is wonderful as well, in particular the lovely waitress Luna greeted me with a smile and was incredibly attentive."
  • "I had family and friends over from Ireland and it really was the highlight of their stay. The staff are so helpful and friendly and the whole set up is great. Class tunes with amazing food...we had an absolute ball!!"
  • "The staff on the front door are genuinely friendly and they have such a good vibe."
  • "Very lovely staff and the security team were wonderful, which is uncommon these days, especially at bars and clubs."

Cons:

  • "We were asked to order via the app. Our orders were ignored and we had to ask 3x for drinks to be served."
  • "Most of the time it seemed the staff were either standing outside for no apparent reason or walking about with no clear purpose."
  • "Staff behind the bar (bless him, he was alone) was struggling with orders and frankly you could tell he wasn’t happy to be there."
  • "The member of staff in question was seemingly protected by a weak and misguided restaurant manager who failed to act responsibly and deal with the situation."
  • "Service was rude and inattentive."
  • "The overall atmosphere was ruined by the surly French waitress - she seemed to constantly be in a bad mood."
  • "Staff are a bit abrupt and they steal the food from in front of you, before even finishing off what you have in your plate."

Food & Drinks

Pros:

  • "I really enjoyed the beef and pork tacos."
  • "For a bottomless brunch the drinks were flowing and they bring trays of shots to your table on repeat!"
  • "The food and drinks were amazing."
  • "Cocktails have good flavour to them."
  • "Nachos were nice and the cocktails were delicious."
  • "The food was quite good as well with the spicy salsa bringing some serious heat. We got the pork burrito and spicy wings both of which were nice."
  • "The mushroom croquettes were extremely tasty however."

Cons:

  • "Not at all happy with this place for charging us normal prices when they have advertised the offers."
  • "3 cocktails cost over £40, which is fine if the quality is there and trust me as bartender for many years the quality just wasn't there."
  • "The food was good, but less in quantity, not at all filling."
  • "Cocktails are not very large - glass is probably 85% ice."
  • "The food portions were small, tacos dry and no taste at all."
  • "Food was extremely expensive and small portions."
  • "Ordered two burritos, one with chicken and one with pulled pork. They've pulled quite the joke on me as there was barely any meat inside, 90% of rice, beans and lettuce."
