• "Nice little Spanish restaurant and the Spanish classics were all great, patatas bravas, croquettas & albondigas but the pulpo could have been better."
• "Really disappointed in the lack of pata negra iberico ham, in fact the ham selection we had was more in line with a supermarket assortment pack."
