Very good food. Good atmosphere and good music! Overall we had a great evening. Despite the initial hiccup with our large booking. We booked for 10 but were given a table that would sit 6 people at a squeeze. All was sorted in the end, but I guess it would have been easier and smoother if our large table had been ready for us and we didnt have to make other customers move.

Food is average to good with one type of spicy sauce and the alternative is Valentina. (Thst's bad) Although the waiting times are ok, the waitress doesn't offer more than the asked even if empty glasses. We needed to stand up and pay..as none approached to see if we needed something else

This is a great place with really cozy atmosphere. The food and drinks are quite good. The place is not that expensive for the value it offers. This is the place where you could go frequently.

There's not much food on offer, but what we had (tacos) were tasty. Drinks were nice, but it's a shame they don't do classic cocktails.

Enjoyable night out for my birthday friend. Cocktails were great, wine was excellent, garden setting fine but - on a night expecting rain, we were seated outside the canopy area & told we could go on barstools if it rained while we were eating. The food was attractive but we expected it to be more Mexican spicy, we felt it would of improved it. Nice lively vibe in the place but we felt the food let it down.

The food portions were really small unfortunately. The Hendricks martini cocktail was very nice. The overall customer service was not great, felt wet rushed. Rated 3:6

Food was not very tasteful and quite bland. Cocktails were good. Wouldn’t recommend the special nachos. Not worth the money and service was pretty average.

Great food, cool staff who were very helpful (even charged my phone) and the Quesadillas were awesome! I didn't like that the special nachos were very watery at the bottom, but they were extremely tasty besides that. Would recommend and revisit.

Great vibe, staff, food and cocktails. There were some brilliant and novel cocktails which I just loved. And Viva went out of their way to commemorate my anniversary (once I'd informed them of this). Will defo go there again.

Very accommodating staff great atmosphere and an equal focus on food and drink, you can have either or both, unlike lots of tapas places where it mostly revolves around the food.

Very slow service. It took ages to place the order and get a bill. Noisy and crowded. Food and cocktails were excellent though. Interesting choices too.
