We came here for some lunch, walking in without booking a table. The staff were very friendly and accommodated us with no issues at all. They still need to book you into their online booking system so you have to give your details over which I found a little weird for a walk in.
The venue is fantastic, really interesting building with great decor.
We tried a few dishes, the prawns were really delicious although only having 5 was a shame as they were the best thing we got. We felt we probably made a wrong choice with the rest of the food as it was all fried, and so we felt a bit sick at the end of it due to the amount of fried food we'd eaten. The chicken wings were also not good. Lacking flavour and just bland. The potatoes were lovely and flavour full though and I do recommend them. Their wine selection is amazing, so many to choose from!
Overall it was nice experience, although if I went again I'd make sure I balanced the dishes more to have less fried options.
I would usually say the phrase "it exceeded my expectations" is a clichéd management speak phrase.
However that's exactly what our meal did last night.
The Google score was pretty good so I expected to be nice, but it was absolutely amazing.
3 of us shared 4 tapas and one ration (main size) portion plus a 4 item deli board.
Everything was prefect.
The air dried tuna, which was a first fir us was so delicate and delicious. The gambas the size of lobsters and each of the 3 cheeses and the 4 year aged ham were all sublime.
And great value for the quality.
Tapas can sometimes be done as a bit of a cop out lazy, cheap and cheerful dining offer. This was exactly the opposite. If felt really authentic and the quality of every ingredient was top notch.
The service was also super attentive without being over the top.
If we lived here we'd be back every week.
