Lovely food ,staff were very polite and knowledgable about the food and wines.well recommended will be back for another sitting in the new year 👌👌
Food was good , but i was very disappointed as i ordered a cake and 20 candles for my sons 20th birthday and received a slice of cake with 1 candle. Really spoilt the evening .
Lovely place, friendly staff. Had to keep asking for the drinks had empty glasses for too long. Chicken thighs were amazing,as was the spinach with goats cheese, but some of the other dishes on the set menu were a little bland. Would go back but try some different dishes.
The food was delicious (excellent cheese selection, top quality jamon, juicy seafood), lovely wine, and 20% off with an Independent Birmingham card, this restaurant is highly recommended!
Excellent service and tasty food. Would recommend to anyone if they are tasting tapas for the first time. Great atmosphere also and friendly staff too
Lunchtime visit, pretty quiet so atmosphere a bit muted. Food however was excellent, service good although struggled a bit with communication but overall pretty good value and will return. If you want Paella, do book 24 hrs prior to avoid disappointment.
An excellent restaurant with authentic Spanish tapas, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We had an excellent meal. The service was very attentive. We sent one dish back (omelette, which had a little bit of eggshell in it) - not a significant problem and it was dealt with extremely well by he waiting staff and kitchen.
Great place to eat, great staff food (tapas) amazing, very impressed, I would definitely recommend this place, and I will come back soon, already planing my next visit.
Fantastic staff, very accommodating. The food is exceptional and very well priced, especially the lunch menu. Being able to sit outside is so nice (more in the summer than winter).
The restaurant was great. The food and service excellent. There were some really nice choices of Tapas not your usual dishes. The music was really great and added to the wonderful atmosphere.
Food was ok we were very hungry afterwards so would recommend having at least 8 tapas between two as we had 6 and this wasn't enough - desserts looked dull so didn't order any. They forgot one dish we ordered and although it came eventually and was deducted from the bill it wasn't enjoyable by itself.
Restaurant is set in a nice location in Edgbaston. Attention to detail at the restaurant is excellent from the welcoming upon arrival and especially to the food, the chef even came out to let us know about the specials available. The majority of the staff were Spanish speaking which impressed not only us but our Spanish friends who we visited restaurant with. All in all was a very enjoyable evening with great food and great wine, would highly recommend.
Poor service, food lukewarm. Good atmosphere and nice settings. Part of the starter ordered never arrived, but this was not charged on the final bill. Waiter did apologise for the poor service when settling the bill.
Good atmosphere. Family friendly. Tables not too close together. Staff welcoming and friendly. Food excellent in all aspects. Will certainly come again. For Spanish food in Birmingham this is the place to come.
Good food, friendly service, not a lot of atmosphere on a Thursday evening - better at lunchtime we hear. Plenty of room for the tables.
A great atmosphere and lovely food. Good service and friendly. Cocktails were lovely also. This was our second visit and we'll definitely be back. A must visit place .
The tastiest Spanish tapas. I love this restaurant. It has a real charm about the place. Definitely will be going back. Friendly staff also and plenty of choice on the menu.
We had a very enjoyable evening. The staff were very helpful discussing the menu as we had an expectant mother in our party. The atmosphere and the food made a perfect evening. I have been to the restaurant many times and have always received a warm welcome and will definitely be returning
Excellent experience for a group of 6 people. Very friendly place to be in and the staff friendly and helpful Food was very good and we all enjoyed the decor and ambience of the restaurant as part of the dining out experience.
Good food, environment and service. No catches to be honest, but being myself Spanish, I can't help but feeling a bit disappointed about some members of the staff (all of them Spaniards) trying to speak in English to us Spaniards as well, when I know the conversation would be much more fluent in Spanish. Is that business policy ?
We visited for lunch and the service and food were excellent and the prices very reasonable. Very good value for the tapas lunchtime special and the meal only came to £65 with drinks.
Amazing food and brilliant attentive service. The chef came over a couple of times to talk about his menu and made recommendations (beef cheeks, pork belly with beans and the pork ribs are not to be missed). The wine was great again with knowledgeable staff and the whole place has a lovely ambiance. Our 4th visit and it keeps getting better.
We received a friendly, warm welcome on arrival & were offered a choice of table. Good ambience from a modern rustic interior. There was a good choice of food which was well presented; cooked excellently & very satisfying. We enjoyed the whole experience so much we arranged a return visit at the end of our evening. *****
Very attentive service, lovely dishes. Shame that on the Thursday we went that ribs mussels and slow cooked lamb were not available. Very nice place to be in.
Really good food, the service was quick and the staff were incredibly nice. Had a very nice night
Relaxed atmosphere with tasteful interior design. I found the customer service to be caring and informed, with excellent recommendtions for our first visit. Authentic and delicious food. Wonderful!
good food, great service. quite pricey but worth it. recommended
Fantastic meal and great tasting food. The service was pleasant and friendly - will definitely be back. The Tuesday two tapas for £6.95 is really good value.
Lovely place. Excellent service and delicious food. We ordered bread starter and 6 tapas. They each came out one after the other which was great. The staff are helpful and know the menu so Cavan answer any questions. Would highly recommend
Service could have been faster - arrived at 8 and we went to the bar as our table is being prepared. Went to our table probably about 820-825 and by 845 the waiter still haven't taken our order! 45 minutes since arriving and still not got our order taken is exceptionally long and the place wasn't full either. We had to go and ask them to take our order and the front of house was apologotetic about it. Afterwards the service was fine, although it already dampened our night.
Fantastic atmosphere throughout the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We shared several tapas dishes ...recommend this as a great place to go with friends to end the working week..
