The ambience is lovely especially sitting on the balcony on a warm summer's night. The wine list is extensive and the waitresses lovely and helpful. The starter of trout was beautiful but the main courses only average. My potato and goats cheese ravioli were swimming in oil and you couldn't taste the goats cheese at all. My partners pork was dry and over seasoned as was the side of mash that had so much white pepper it almost made you sneeze! But after reading all the other good reviews I will definitely give it another go, maybe the chef was only having a bad night.

We were here with a big group, all booked in advance, even the menu on a thursday night. We had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and in the meanwhile they brought us olives. Some of the food was tasty but not very Spanish at all. Also some of us left the restaurant hungry as the plates of food were not big enough to serve all the people in our big group. I can't recommend this place, the price charged for the tapas menu was way too much for what they were serving.
