I ordered the sirloin rare and my companion had the plato cubanito. my steak was boiled to order on a cast iron pan. ok, it was not the best delivered steak I had (for example not aged), but there was a lot of it and it was decent. it came with patatas bravas and sauteed root vegetables. these were carrots, papageien and cassava and a little brokkoli that were thrown in for the color. there were also rice with black beans. my companion was very happy with his slowly braided pork and hawn with red paprika and swirl, which were garnished with the same sawed root vegetables with rice and black beans. flavorful braising liqueur and very delicate meat with a few slices of grilled chorizo to live the dings both in terms of texture and spice. beautiful court.br≤br/>Portions were large so we left over to house for morning lunch in the office. We used a taste card that they honor with a 2 for 1 deal for net on weekdays. with a bottle of redtempranillo house wine 15.95,) dinner for two on the card was 30 quid in front of tip. at full price would have been 44. we will definitely come back to try tapas the full price where they do 6 tapas for 14.95 despite the use of the discount card we were offered free dishes of tequila after we paid our bill. that's a hospitable.

The team were very accommodating, food was lovely and cocktails were absolutely delicious. We could only get a table for hours due to other bookings on the night but will definitely be back!

Starters of tacos and quesadilla was ace, main course was a good size but lacked taste (the pork). Service was a bit too quick and always asking if you wanted anything else (a bit too much). Price good I would return but in the day. Also please put some lights on as I could barely read the menu

The steak was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The atmosphere and staff were fantastic; you really can't go wrong. read more The steak was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The atmosphere and staff were fantastic; you really can't go wrong.
