We went there for a dinner before going onto our movie. Food came out quickly and staff were attentive and helpful and tapas are delicious. However, the drinks selection could be improved.

Ambience is quite nice. Restaurant feels cosy but in a nice way. It is a great little gem in crows nest. We discovered it on the way home and glad we did.

The restaurant is too dark insode that we couldn't see what we're eating. All the food we ordered was Ok but nothing to rave about and wasn't cheap either, in fact, everything is over priced for they are really. I don't think we'll go back there again.

We had been here for lunch before and really enjoyed it so came back for my birthday dinner. It was a really nice night out. I think the ambience is actually nicer dining here at night, it has more of a trendy vibe.

The food was excellent. It's not cheap but not too expensive, and it is really excellent quality. The reason I chose to come here was that I could tell the owners appreciate really good quality food and that was affirmed when we came to try dinner. They specialise in Spanish/tapas dishes, some with a bit of a twist on the traditional dish.

We had one waiter who wasn't particularly personable but later we were served by the owner who was really friendly and ended up chatting with us a lot about the food and drinks, and even giving us the odd taster. This guy really cares about what he does so it's definitely worth a visit.

My husband and I had a wonderful pre-valentines dinner here last night and felt like we were back on our honeymoon in Seville! Really lovely authentic tapas, I highly recommend the goats cheese with caramelised onions and jamon, as well as the bbq chorizo with chimi churi.

Standout dish of the night, however, was the cinnamon-y Moorish squid with couscous and yogurt (sounds odd yes but delicious), as well as the must try cauliflower, beetroot and almond sauté/puree/salad, I will be trying something similar at home!

All in all a great casual restaurant that is looking like a strong contender for my birthday bash later this year.

We came across this restaurant last Saturday and given a table straight away even though it was a full house, how lucky were we! They do two seating sessions 6pm and 8pm.

The food was awesome! the best Tapas in Sydney! Everything tasted authentic and not greasy! I have a Spanish background so I'm very picky! and It def lived up to my expectations.. which is rare! We had the meat board the Jamon was Yum!
BBQ prawns were sweet and succulent. Cauliflower and beetroot salad was the best thing I put in my mouth in ages! def a must try!

The small roasted peppers I Loved! Loved! and the Paella was superb totally faultless! The churros was served hot and crunchy! Service was excellent, very friendly staff. Owner/Chef was pretty cute and very attentive! Definitely coming back!

Was here for a work lunch just before Christmas. Service was quite good, food was delicious. Although we had the set menu, we needed to order more food (paella) as this only allowed for 1 piece per person. I've rated ambience low as we were seated outside and I hate sitting outside on a busy street.

Went here on Saturday night not knowing what to expect. The place has a great vibe about - whilst it's quite a small place, you certainly don't feel squished at all... quite cosy & romantic in fact! Service was quick, friendly and attentive. We ordered the squid, the angus beef, the beetroot & cauliflower salad and the eggplant empanadas. All very delicious and good sized share portions. We also had sangria by the glass which was smart! All in all, a very pleasant dining experience which is certainly value for money. Good work!

I love this place!! First went here a while back from one of those Cudo deals. Didn't realise that I pass this restaurant every morning on my drive to work.

The food is very well made here. Although the servings could be a bit more fulfilling, It tastes very fresh with a mix of very distinct flavours.

The paella is a personal favourite of mine. The best I have tasted in Sydney! The cudo deal came with a bottle of sauce which my husband loved and always asks me to buy some for him whenever I go back here for dinner but I always forget!

I'm planning to get the girls from work to come here for lunch when it's my birthday in Feb!
