It was one of the worst fry ups we've ever had. The staff was unfriendly, staring at us upon arrival without offering a welcome or directing us on where to sit or place an order. We would not recommend this restaurant.

Bad breakfast. I can only assume that the chef was to blame as the food took a very long time to arrive and was inedible when it did. read more Bad breakfast. I can only assume that the chef was to blame as the food took a very long time to arrive and was inedible when it did.

We placed our order at 1:10pm and our drinks arrived about 5 minutes later. Unfortunately, our food didn't arrive until about 40 minutes later. There was no mention of a long wait for food when we were served. When we went to pay at the end of the meal, the server mentioned that he should have informed us about the wait. There was no offer of any goodwill gesture, just a simple apology. In my opinion, the food was adequate but overpriced.

A very flat environment, lacking character. I ordered the Spanish Stew at £18.75 which took a while to come and when it did it was baking hot, I presume after being in a microwave and was anything but a Spanish Stew. It tasted awful and sickly. I cherry picked the prawns and hale and left the rest. The place next door seems to have much more atmosphere. This is a venue that has a concept but can’t deliver, There’s nothing Mediterranean about it ! Plus one of the waitresses found it interesting to constantly stare at me while eating. No thanks a waste of money and time.
