A group of us recently went for a night out and the tapas were good standard and value. The steak with blue cheese was fab! The total cost was also really good value for what we had. Don't bother with deserts or Irish coffee. Not the restaurants strong point at all.

God bless the staff - they catered to our large group impeccably, I don't know how they kept the orders straight! Fantastic food, really superb. HUGE desserts! Huge! Will definitely come again!

4 of us went there the other night for my birthday it was my third time. It was a cold enough night but the bar was nice and cosey. The tapas as usuall were YUMMY, portion sizes are much bigger than normal tapas nibbles my favourities been the prawns, chicken skewers and the meat balls. Superb staff cannot say anything... More

In a large group, they have always done their best to accommodate and when its just me and the missus we can find a cosy corner to sit back and relax.

I had booked food to be collected at lunchtime on the Saturday and had been told to ring the day before to order which I did. On the day itself, I rang to say that I'd be 5 minutes late and was told that there was no note of my order. While the owner said that they'd put it on... More

We went with a group of 10 people and ended up at a table near the stairs in the way of people heading to the toilets. There were no chairs with backs left so some of the group had to sit on stools. The waitress was not very attentive as we had to ask for water twice. We ordered the... More

8 of us booked in for the early bird - most tapas €3.95. Place is cosy with a good atmosphere even on a Wednesday in January. Good selection of nibbles and wine! Had everything from the mixed nuts, prawns, bruschetta board, potatoes bravas with and without chorizo, mixed salad with mozzerella, chicken skewers were to die for.... Couldn't complain about... More
