My boyfriend and I cannot stop saying to each other “This is the best food I’ve ever had”. The pulpo a la parilla, octopus, was our favorite thing on the menu. My partner has a severe tree nut allergy and the server (Lorenzo) was kind and understanding. We spoke to the chef who was extremely accommodating for us. They fresh brewed espresso for our dessert drinks, espresso martinis, and the churros were light and delicious with a chocolate dipping sauce that was not overly sweet and absolutely amazing. I am so extremely glad that we stopped at this restaurant tonight! We cannot stop sending pictures to our friends at home
Update: I hate to write anything negative about this delicious place, but we loved it so much that we went back the next night specifically for more espresso martinis and more churros. We had a different server than we did the previous night and when I ordered an espresso martini he said “We don’t do that here” I told him we were just there and had them and that’s why we came back. He said “This is a tapa’s bar we do things differently here” he made me feel a little dumb as I had just had it the night before. He also told us the churros had nuts in it (I’m not sure if he just wanted us to leave knowing we came specifically for the martinis and churros since he made an excuse for both) but the churros having nuts was untrue as again, we had just had them the day before. I still loved the food and just had wine instead but I would definitely prefer to return when Lorenzo was there as he was much kinder and more...
Read morePhenomenal experience. 3 of us dined here & loved the entire foodie ordeal presented to us. We began with a salad of the day - which is actually a rare restaurant gem which genuinely changes it's salad daily to showcase the chef's creativity; and papas bravas which were dressed in a wonderful smoked paprika sauce. This was accompanied with fresh bread with green/red mojos and alioli with marinated green olives. Next was chorizo with a flaming Sambuca dip. Personally this dish was not my favourite due to disliking the liquor choice however my dining companions highly commended the dish. For mains we opted for King Scallops - fresh and flavourful with caramalised shredded onion on a soft bed of purèed carrot. Grilled Octopus - seasoned to perfection on a delightful baked beetroot side. King Prawns - spiced well, cooked flawlessly only spoil here was the lack of truffle oil flavour coming through (came shell-on which is great for presentation)
Drinks: each tried a different cocktail - the stand out was the Tequila punch : super tasty with fabulous notes of mango & strawberry. Cava Sangria : one of the best sangrias I have tasted, fantastic. House white wine : crisp and light, a great complementary flavour balance to the seafood tapas.
Dessert: just like the daily salads they create a daily dessert special. Today was an unbelievable caramel cheesecake - delicious. For a traditionally dense dessert this was surprisingly light and a great way to round off the meal.
Phenomenal meal. Amazing chefs &...
Read moreFood is great, 3 stars didn’t do the justice for the chef.
However, the overall service is quite terrible. We went into the restaurant at 9:48 slightly more than an hour before the closing time.
There were 2 scenarios where a waitress (an African lady) tried taking my plate when I haven’t finished my food. My octopus testicle was on my plate, where I still need my dip. She just took it straight away. Another one with calamari, there are still a few ones but she wanted to take it. I told her there are still a few in there, but she still insist to take it and signal me to take them to my own plate so she can collect the plate. This all happened before 10:40.
At around 10:20, we smelled strong bleach smell as they tried to clean up, which we were smelling it the whole time while eating.
Maybe it’s too late, but we still at least wanted to order desert at 10:40, however didn’t had a chance to...
