I had a fantastic dining experience here! The food was really excellent. I enjoyed the all-you-can-eat tapas on Thursday, which I believe is priced at £15.95 per person. The staff were wonderful and made the experience even better. I felt completely satisfied and will definitely be coming back!

We have dined here several times before, but this was our first meal celebrating a birthday since the pandemic. As always, the menu, food, and service were excellent, with minimal wait times between courses. The staff was friendly, and we never felt rushed, even when the restaurant was busy. The covered seating area at the front is a significant improvement and adds to the overall experience. This restaurant remains high on our list, making it a worthwhile visit for first-timers.
