    This was a repeat visit for lunch. We were 4pp and had seafood paella (for 2pp - was plentiful to satisfy our appetite), crispy roast pork, crumbed calamari rings (v fresh), and garlic prawns. All very yummy. Service was great and cheerful, always attentive enough. Would have loved to add the harmony plate but were too full by then. Will surely come back again for great spanish food.
