The restaurant is amazing! Really good food, friendly staff! I'm sad I didn't go there before. We left full and satisfied! And the price was quite good! My favorite was the meatballs, my boyfriend couldn't even choose which one was his favorite.. hahaha. We will need to come back to try the other tapas!
We had dinner twice here and ordered once take away. I can only recommend this place. Great food. Lovely staff and good prices. Love this place.
Edit: I got food poisoning from this place last night. I’ve felt awful all day and have thrown up several times. I would give 0 stars if I could. Original review: The service was really good and the people there were very friendly. Unfortunately the food was not good. Most of it was very greasy and lacking in flavour. I would say we got a good amount of food for the price we paid. Also, the atmosphere was definitely lacking. This could be because we arrived later in the evening, but the restaurant was quite empty.
This is a lovely small tapas restaurant. The staff are friendly, the restaurant is well laid out with a covered patio area with heaters to the back. If you're looking for tapas and in the area I woild recommend going to Viva. We ordered 6 tapas between 2 people and the quantity was just right. The food overall was tasty, although I ordered the pudding dish and we had finished all our other food when it arrived making me believe they forgot it at first. When it did arrive it was very, very oily which while the pudding and chorizo did taste nice, the level of oil took away from the overall flavour.
Delicious food and very nice staff.
We had dinner for two ,We decide to try many different tapas , I can say the sizes are good for tapas either if you ask for small or big portions . Ramiro our host was fantastic he had such a charisma that made our dinner very pleasant . He described all our dishes very well . The only thing bad is the most of the dishes are very salty . But other than that very happy with the service and food . Definitely a ten out ten . We will come back for sure.
Really good restaurant for actual Spanish food. Loved the food quality and it really matches Spanish cuisine. Price is OK, similar to a pub. They also have several Spanish beers and their paella is without chorizo, as it should be.
Beautiful meal this evening , it was my first time trying out this restaurant. The menu was varied , the food was delicious, reasonably priced , lovely seating both inside and out and fantastic service. We will be back.
Decidedly not industrial, run with a lot of love and resilience throughout a 12 or so year history, with food that answers the question “how have they been around this long?”. Service was slow because they were understaffed, but after inquiring it turned out they had one chef in the kitchen for around 15-20 full tables. You couldn’t tell from the food. Nothing was rushed, everything tasted like it was built from decades of iteration, which seemed to be the case. Worth the wait? 100%. Just don’t go here thinking it’ll be a quick turnaround. It’s going to be your evening, so arm yourself with your best conversation, get a bottle of wine, and slow the F down. It’s worth it.
Such amazing food and a wonderful waiter!!! He made the whole experience so comfortable and normal. Cannot wait to go back. Loki is an asset, appreciate him
