Ribs is the best. But the fried squid is almost Asian style. Space is a little narrow and maybe too loud for meal(better for beer and watching football).

Been here before for my birthday and for friends and really enjoyed it....However....went last night (two couples) and was disappointed. We chose 5 tapas between 2 as advised. The chorizo was overcooked (even burnt I'd say), the squid was very small and alot of batter and not enough squid...the sweet potato fries seemed really dry. The serano ham and manchego was amazing, but that doesn't involve any cooking does it? Meatballs were ok but everything else was a let down sadly. Atmosphere was good with food music for a Saturday night, but sadly might not return for food now, unless it improves.

Very disappointed. The original Barcelona Tapas concept was brilliant. The place had a real wow factor. Arrived this evening to find the main entrance is now around the corner and not on the High Street and the place is a quarter of its original size, the Hungry Monkey? having taken over the rest.This tapas bar is really going to have to up its game if it's going to survive. Sorry to say this but it is now just a pale imitation of the real thing. The tapas were very mediocre, service slow and we were served by some odd staff who were very lackadaisical.I feel sad to give the place such a poor review now as others will probably find my comments off-putting. At least I was in the good company of friends!

Mahou is one damn awesome drink. Food is great, a fairly varied range, service was quick and efficient and the staff were friendly.Atmosphere was pretty chilled and it was easy to have a conversation. Plenty of seating. The top level has some comfy sofas and a bar

I liked the menu, liked the ambience, good service. Found the prices to be modest. I'd go again.

We like to go here for the two 4 one cocktails. Lots of TV's around if there's football on that you want to keep an eye on.

The interior set out of the bar is great and looks really nice, I haven't tried the food but from the looks of it it isn't too bad. But the reason for the score is that I feel it is massively over priced for items like beer or a gin and tonic. Over £10 for a double gin and tonic is bit expensive, which is a shame because it looks great inside and would definitely have come back.

Good location off the Guildhall Square, but with so many other places to choose from, why go here? Food is OK but when you factor in eye watering prices it's not good enough. Wine is extremely expensive. Cocktail menu is good and fairly priced but with only one person doing drinks for the whole restaurant get ready for a long wait. Service is very poor. It's not difficult to be polite, professional, and smile. Food is plonked down in front of you whether it's your dish or not. Wine glasses are removed without conversation. Everyone's cutlery was replaced after first course except mine, which was filthy and for some reason put on to my napkin. Avoid.

Ambient ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I loved it, great vibe, spacious and you can easily pic your favourite spot. Also, there's even singles seats.Menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️Being Mediterranean I just believe that their tapas menu could have been so much better with more olive and ham options, cheese too.Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️But the things they do have on the menu were great. Croquettes were amazing, beetroot grilled salad was also great, and sherry chorizo almost made my partner stay whole day. The only downside would be Adobo which didn't translate that famous Pinoy flavour. Blood orange sorbet was my star.Price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Prices are ok, approx £5 per tapas and £10 for larger dishes but they have different offers depending on the time of the day so it's good to check all those leaflets they give you.Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I think staff was amazing, very warm and welcoming and knows everything on the menu.Drinks N/AThey have Spanish beer and a list of cocktails that are on promotions after 3pm when you get 1+1. If you're tap water person, they will bring you a hug with or without lemon&lime.
