"Reviewed October 2021 My foodie partner decided that I needed to refresh my Tapas style taste buds as it has been a while since 2018 and my Korean encounter.. and the fact that that The Orange tree had been getting a lot of very good reviews and recommendations. Yes, the place IS small, a 'little ' cramped and I would surmise quite noisy when full, maybe seating for 35 45. It was very quiet when we went there at 6pm on a Wednesday but soon was a 1/4 full by 7.30ish so you could still hold a quiet conversation. Your choice of times to suit your needs and activity. Drinks: Rose house wine and Estrella Damm As it was Tapas style it was 'shares ' which is always a good thing when wanting to sample many of the dishes without 'overdoing ' it: Basket of warm bread butter Patatas Brava Potato 's with spicy tomato sauce Fabada Asturiana Mixed beans in tomato chilli sauce Pollo En Pimiento Chicken breast strips, Paprika cream and wine sauce. Chorizo Al Vinto Tinto Chorizo sausage in red wine Gambas Pil Pil King Prawns in garlic and lemon Lubina EnEn Salsa Picante Sea Bass (grilled) in a tomato sauce, light salad. and to finish it all off: The Orange Tree Messy. As my partner, simply adores Spanish/Portuguese and Mexican food she was in her element and a good help in choosing my initiation to a number of the dishes. I have to say, I really, really enjoyed them all. Non were overpowering and in a strange way complimented each other. I particularly liked the 'Pollo ' and 'Chorizo ' and as i am a fish lover I needed to try the Sea Bass, which was very well cooked and fell very nicely. What can I or my partner say about the Orange Tree Messy... it was, and so enjoyed. Personally, I 'm ready and ok with trying some more dishes from The Orange Tree"
