"eating here is always excellent, and they do not scrimp on their portions, especially the paella, which is very generous! do not let them be tempted to order paella for the exact number in their party, as the portion size will be huge, unless they have no tapas stars. we were a party of 2 adults and 2 children (11 13). we had a selection of tapas stars (approx. 3 pp) followed by a paella mixta for 2 people, and we were filled! that was more than enough, actually enough for us to take away a Doggy bag that later fed 2 adult to dinner. the restaurant is consistently packed, especially on Saturday night, so reservations are advisable to avoid disappointment or long waiting times. my only handle is that the service is very slow. we have eaten there on 2 separate Saturday evenings and it always feels like they are a little short staff. at a point in the evening I saw 5 employees behind or at the bar, and only 2 tend to customer. to give something context, at this time there were only 2 customers at the bar, but a complete restaurant. if they are not in a hurry, then slower service will not be a problem, but the lack of personal neigen too tables always makes the attention of the waiting staff very laborious, and the delivery of things like drinks very slow. my biggest thing with the restaurant is the toilets, especially the lady room. with this opportunity were 2 out of 3 damen cubiken unusable, with paper and other waste substances blocked probably this is due to bad water pressure and flushing, but whatever the reason does not make for a pleasant experience, which leads to a long waiting period for the 1 work room."

"Well what can I say about this place, I'll start by saying the food was very nice but the rest of the service was lacking. Tried to use meerkat meals 241 offer my advice would be don't bother attempting. Rang twice to book as advised...on the app and was told to ring back the 1st time and no name taken the 2nd time? Anyway back to the visit....outside its stated on a board 241 cocktails all day every day apart from Friday Saturday evenings. Being Wednesday evening we was told that they didn't do cocktails only sangria so that's what we had. When we asked about the meerkat meal offer we was told 241 on starters, mains and deserts (standard) when attempting to order we was then told we had to have the same item for starters, mains etc. We wanted tapas not the same meal what is the point of that! We then asked for other choices of menus i.e. the main menu we had seen online we were given the all you can eat menu £14.95 and lunch menu that was served after 5pm??? Random??? After 20+mins we just opted for the easiest option of the all you can eat because it was getting very confusing to say the least! There was only us in the place may I add. A couple who came in after us tried to use a taste card with no joy either. Main point for the waiter which I will call shambles' is know you offers at least, if your not going to honour discounts such as meerkat meals taste card don't be on their sites and there is definitely a reason why you place is empty. If you want everyone to eat from the all you can eat menu then just offer that. Seems like shambles' was on commission for bamboozling people into this menu and also selling sangria. What happened to the cocktails on the menu??? Anyway good luck if you visit"
