The tapas was excellent. All the dishes were delicious. The mushroom croquettes, the aubergines and the baked cod were our favourites. My father in law was very impressed with the Rioja. The service was very good. Such a friendly and authentic feel to the place.

Very welcoming. Food was reasonably good, apart from the fish dish which was ok. The churros were undercooked and returned to the kitchen.

The food was delicious. We all had the lunch menu and shared bread plus dips and olives. The sangria was lovely ( I was the designated driver so I didn’t have any!) We had a long catch up meal and didn’t feel hurried to leave. I’d definitely go back.

Food was OK but it was very noisy. Tables and chairs were being moved without picking them up, instead screeching them across the floor. There was a workshop going on with about 12 people so there was no ambience of being in a restaurant.

Prices excessive for size of portions, presentation, decor of restaurant, service and selection on menu. Drinks expensive. Staff very pleasant. Churro’s excellent Portions especially tapas very small on even smaller plates 50% off food felt misleading when bill arrived Wish them all the best as with feedback taken onboard it could be a great and much needed addition to Harborne

The food here was really good. Came out piping hot and all freshly cooked. Wine was also really nice. The only thing was that the service seemed a bit disorganised but we got there in the end. Given the quality of the food it is well worth a visit. We had a selection of tapas, all were excellent and really enjoyed the paella. Give it a try!

The 50% discount made it good value, but £9 for a handful of small prawns, and £21 for a small paella (for 2) seemed very expensive. The waiter kept trying to upsell which made us feel uncomfortable as we didn’t want any more food or drinks. The food itself was tasty and the sangria was fruity but I’m unlikely to return.

Although nicely designed there was not much atmosphere, we were the only three diners in there! Food was ok, nothing special. No wow factor, plus a very limited menu & even though we were the only diners there were dishes that were unavailable ?? Waitress was lovely.
