    Great service and every dish was great. We tried multiple tapas (favorites were the tuna tacos, crab croquettes, empanadas and paella bomb) and crispy cauliflower was also yumm along with also the lobster paella - overall everything was absolutely delicious. Service was also impeccable … helped with fantastic suggestions.

    A very enjoyable Christmas lunch. Seeing you have British in your name, you could offer a more British option too. How to improve for next year - turkey as an option, real Christmas pudding, crackers. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the fixed price menu.

    We met friends, shared some small plates and had mains as well. All the dishes were delicious, with high quality ingredients (and we’re foodies who know how to cook)! We loved that it was quiet enough to converse. It is attached to a hotel in a somewhat off-the beaten path location but it’s worth a visit (and open on days when many restaurants are closed, like Mondays). The ambiance is very nice inside. A hidden gem!
