Overall if you wish to have a good meal in Úbeda, this place will not disappoint you. The local is stylish but personally I found it a bit cold and bland. The service is good and sympathetic but maybe lacking a bit of professionalism. In such a restaurant, you would expect that the guests do not leave their jackets on the chairs for instance. Price was relatively high which was normal for the food but not so much for the standard.

We chose it because there were a couple of business men eating lunch always a good sign! We were given 2 delicious small skewers of octopus and vegetables before ordering, then ordered several other tapa. All were delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant.
