    Had a very rare date night with my wife and first time going. Deeana was superb serving us! Food was delicious, highlight was the steak and the wine choices were very well paired, interesting and quality. We had a wonderful evening and will be back again!

    So disappointing, menu looked amazing but ‘aged’ steak was clearly gone off. We complained and they did nothing…

    Loved this. Ibérico pork was just amazing and steaks looked and smelt great from round the room. Squid was proper pieces of fresh squid cooked perfectly. Batatas bravas were like the best most fluffy crispy roast potatoes. And the creme Catalana to finish was such a clever change from vanilla creme brulee - subtle, complex and delicious. And you get proper crispy caught rice in the bottom of the paella - smoky and salty - my favourite bit.
