My family eat here last Saturday. My father in law was born in Bilbao and he really enjoyed the meal which he said was as good as his grandmother used to cook! What better compliment than that can you give?

Food was lovely but service wasn’t great. It took ages to be offered a drink then we had to ask if we could have one. Service in general was slow and not very attentive. Very different to our previous visit.

The food was good as always. However the service was extremely slow and we waited over 45 minutes for desserts. We had to ask repeatedly for the desserts toble brought to the table. We booked a table at 6pm as we had young children and wanted a family evening

Very nice meal and good service on a Sunday evening - great Sunday 3 for 2 offer on tapas. Seafood Fideua was excellent. Only a couple of comments stopping giving higher score were the fact restaurant was a little cool (kept my jumper on) it was fairly quiet (hence not as buzzy an atmosphere as you may get at other times) and not all dishes were to the same quality as the fideua - otherwise, very nice, will visit again when in Birmingham.

We had a great night celebrating my birthday. All the food was delicious, especially the ox tail and the aubergine with sesame seeds and molasses. Service was good and the staff friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was there was no almond and lemon tart left! We'll have to have it next time.

The garlic bread was laden with butter. Other food was ok but not exceptional. The best part was the pudding. They gave us free Orujo afterwards as it was my birthday. That was appreciated. Service was good. Overall quality price ratio was not what I expected.

Churros are amazing and so is the Tapas. Expect to budget about £80 to £100 per couple if you're enjoying a bottle of wine (or 2) with dinner and desert

Food on the whole delicious. Would have liked our 4 small dishes to have arrived together. One amazing pudding one we did not eat. Attentive service. We booked a table for 6 and were not informed until 2 hours later that our table was required. We felt this could have been managed much more diplomatically. But never mind we got to enjoy the live music at the fabulous Blue Piano!
