Dined here yesterday for my friends birthday. Overall the experience was a good one. The food was tasty and well presented. However whilst we were told on ordering that the dishes would arrive to our table as and when they were prepared, we were disappointed to be presented with our patatas bravas and rosemary focaccia bread at least 15-20 mins before our chicken and sea bass dishes came, by which time they were cold and could not be eaten in conjunction with the fish/chicken. I appreciate that the bread/potatoes take less time to prepare but it would have been advisable to delay preparation of these until the chicken/fish was almost done. We were also tempted in by the displayed offer of 3 tapas for 14.95, however this was only for ‘starred plates’ of which there were very few to choose from so our order came from the ‘normal menu’ , resulting in a quite expensive lunch. (£55 for lunch inclusive of one drink each) . Overall a slightly better than average experience but the restaurant needs to be warmer especially at lunch when it isn’t as busy as no one wants to sit there with their coats on !
