Food Quality and Taste
Pros:
"All of the food was delicious(and hot)."
"Great tasty food and friendly staff! We ordered 7 tapas for 3 persons."
"My favorite Spanish/Greek restaurant, the food is perfection and everything else is just complimenting it!"
"We had a couple of tapas- Albondigas, Octupus and Patatas bravas. The food was absolutely delicious."
"Delicious food with great presentation and a warm, inviting atmosphere."
"Five star experience! The food was amazing, ordering the tapas alone was enough to feed the table."
"We were very hungry, sat down immediately, although there were many empty tables. The food is delicious."
"Each dish was absolutely delicious. We had octopus, garlic prawns, and padron peppers."
Cons:
"However, food and drinks tasted way below my expectations."
"I found the chorizo far too salty, the falafels too tough, and the octopus was overcooked and chewy."
"It was a very average experience for the price as quite a lot of the dishes were microwaved and had a chewy texture."
"All dishes looked great but they were not tasty as expected."
"Quite overpriced for what it is authentic (basic) tapas dishes."
"Really disappointing. If you want tapas, don't go here. It's a shame the food does not live up to the atmosphere."
"The best place to get a variety of dishes, very nice and cosy interior, a welcoming place and not too large."
"Some staff are rude, some are lovely. The food was okay, some dishes (gambas al ajillo) were good."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"The service is blisteringly quick, from ordering to getting our first tapas took less than 5 minutes."
"The staff were super friendly and the service was really quick."
"Great tasty food and friendly staff!"
"The staff was amazing, friendly and easy to chat with."
"Waitstaff was great too."
"Staff were friendly and incredibly efficient without it feeling rushed."
"The staff are attentive (dispute the busyness) and helpful."
"The staff is incredibly welcoming. Maria (the manager) always brightens up my day with her smile!"
Cons:
"We went to different restaurants of this company, the food was delicious everywhere, but the service was simply terrible."
"Only thing standing out, is that we do not favour the optional service fee of 10% included on the bill."
"The staff was very kind, and the atmosphere was pleasant, I dare to say that the food was much better than in many places in Spain."
"Food was lovely, service was appalling. We had one wheelchair user (who’s birthday it was) and on arrival the manager made her feel very uncomfortable."
"Food and staff were excellent. However, the tip already added onto the bill is quite rude, meant to be optional."
"We booked a table for two at 9pm and arrived 15 minutes early. Annoyingly when we ordered we have been told that the kitchen was closing and we had to order everything at once."
"Extremely rude, unfriendly and unprofessional waiting staff. Our waitress had her lunch break at the table next to ours while we were eating lol... Frozen croquettes and the most bland and dry microwave reheated Spanish tortilla I've ever eaten in my life."
"Came here for lunch and sat outside, my friend and I both ordered the lunch 2-course special and I had the soup (delicious) and some sort of linguine with chorizo (wouldn't recommend - quite greasy)."

"Had an amazing meal here. Can’t rave about it enough - delicious food, great service and a vibrant atmosphere."

"Nice Variety of greed small plates. Can get costly by ordering small plates. Good value for daily main specials."
"Had only tapas here, mostly Greek I would say, and they were all excellent."
