    We had an absolutely wonderful meal at El Porton. Both the food and the service were outstanding. Drinks were refilled without asking and food came out very quickly - but with enough time for us to chat and enjoy the atmosphere. Wait staff were super friendly and helpful. The desserts were amazing! We couldn’t decide which one to get so we got all 3 and shared. So glad we did because each one was so delicious. Highly recommend El Porton (and the white wine sangria). We will definitely be going back.

    Considering that this restaurant only opened this week, the food was great. Service was good, but the kitchen sent out the roast potatoes and salad, without any of the other dishes ie calamari and prawns, which came out 20 minutes later. This was a disappointment, as we did not want to eat the potatoes on their own, and by the time the protein arrived, the potatoes were cold. However, all the dishes we ordered were fabulous! Great taste!
