Service were good and staff friendly. The food was great other than the squid which was over cooked but didn't spoil our visit. Pork cheeks and aubergine dish were AMAZING

The garlic bread was laden with butter. Other food was ok but not exceptional. The best part was the pudding. They gave us free Orujo afterwards as it was my birthday. That was appreciated. Service was good. Overall quality price ratio was not what I expected.

Churros are amazing and so is the Tapas. Expect to budget about £80 to £100 per couple if you're enjoying a bottle of wine (or 2) with dinner and desert

Great range of properly cooked tapas, including my favourite lunch -chorizo and chick peas. Don't miss the dessert either! Great service and really rather nice.

Food on the whole delicious. Would have liked our 4 small dishes to have arrived together. One amazing pudding one we did not eat. Attentive service. We booked a table for 6 and were not informed until 2 hours later that our table was required. We felt this could have been managed much more diplomatically. But never mind we got to enjoy the live music at the fabulous Blue Piano!

Just delightful... friendly and knowledgeable staff who kindly recommended a delicious bottle of red. Tapas was tasty and there were plenty of dishes to choose from. The garlic mayonnaise was to die for! This was our second visit and we wouldn’t hesitate in returning!

The cocktails at this restaurant are very good and the service is outstanding. The restaurant has a good out door space if it’s warm. I would recommend this restaurant to couples and anyone wanting a special meal for two.

Lovely food and staff but the atmosphere was slightly lacking. It’s a very big space. I was glad to try it but probably wouldn’t be compelled to return.

Very good Spanish restaurant with typical Spanish food (I'm Spanish, believe me) and a good price. They usually have offers like 3x2 tapas on Sundays. I will definitely repeat soon.

Food was good. Only problem was that we have the Birmingham independent card which advertises that they do 20% discount on the food, when we paid they said they can't apply 2 offers in conjunction (as we went in the paella night and we have the paella and wine offer). We suggest that they amend and indicate that on the Birmingham independent website to avoid confusion.

Pleasant professional welcome. We decided to have drinks at the bar due to our early arrival - lively atmosphere complemented by a duo playing guitar. We decided on a set meal option & were pleasantly surprised by the presentation, taste & quality - excellent waiter service. Look forward to visiting again.

The food and the service was amazing, the only thing id advise is to check out parking before getting there as there is limited parking outside. We went to the Morrisons carpark and it was only a minute walk away

Beautiful food and surroundings. Staff were very friendly and willing to help. Bar supplies were good. Went at Xmas and they had made a real effort to make the restaurant feel festive. Wonderful tasting food. All staff were of Spanish origin, which helped. Great for kids.

Like the varied menu and that everything tastes so fresh. The two dishes for £7.50 was really good value and a bonus just before Christmas. Waiters were attentive but not intrusive. Very chilled out atmosphere.

Service was slow and the food was not the best. Desserts had to be sent back as they were dry. There was no party atmosphere.
