“ Excellent Tapas and sea food, very friendly service. ”
“ Excellent cuisine with nice deviation from the usual tapas most tapas bars serve. Owner chef prides himself on delivering quality, tasty dishes at good prices. Ask for a chupito on paying the bill. You will be rewarded with a different drink to the usual Lemoncello or Bayleys offered by most other bars. ”
