Food Quality

Pros:

Cons:

• "Starters were not great, we had patatas bravas and calamares and they were very disappointing in taste and texture."
• "The watermelon salad was so-so. The octopus was the only disappointing dish of the evening."
• "A very dry cake with a rather uninteresting scoop of ice-cream that failed to save it."
• "The starter meats and cheese, meats had no flavour and stuck together like pre packaged supermarket rubbish."
• "The prawn tapas felt quite underwhelming - this is something that should have been busting with flavour."
• "The food was utterly awful."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Incredible value for the Tapas we had. 3 for £18."
• "The pricing seemed fair as it was a real buzzy environment with a good vibe, good food and a nice wine to go with it."
• "Great value for money as well."

Cons:

• "This meal, whilst quite good, was by some distance the worst value for money."
• "Serving sizes are pretty small for the money. Even the bread and oil is on the tight side."
• "Mozzarella on the capresse salad was nothing more special than out of a supermarket packet."
• "The 12.5% service charge is a bit harsh."
• "Considering the prices they charge per plate though, the portions are small and we felt there was just no value for money."
• "For the portions provided I would say it could be considered overpriced to some."
• "However, the £25 price tag set slightly higher expectations."

Parking

Pros:

• "There is some parking available."
• "Small car park to the rear for customers if required."

Cons:

• "The parking might seem a bit too small and crowded sometimes, at least for a bigger car."
• "Only downside is there is only a small carpark!"
• "Small carpark at the back of the restaurant which can be difficult to negotiate when full."
