    Good Tapas. Tried the sirloin, white fish and the Korean wings. All well made and tasty with generous portions. Staff is first class and the music was amazing. Cocktails all great, the Amaertto Sours was just a bit sweeter than desired.

    Utter Disappointment The drinks were fine, with a nice selection of options to choose from. Unfortunately, the food experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered four small plates and two sides. From the first bites, several dishes tasted off. The fish did not taste right, the chicken wing also had an unpleasant taste, and the pork belly was the same. One of the sides was undercooked and couldn’t be eaten. The only dish that was enjoyable was the duck, which we finished. We immediately informed our waiter and explained that we were unhappy with the food. Most of the dishes were barely touched, with only a bite or two taken to taste. The plates were taken away, but the manager later returned to say that he and the chef had tasted the food and found nothing wrong. This response was shocking and uncomfortable, as we had no reason to complain other than genuine concern about the quality of the food. We were then required to pay for everything, including a tip, and were told that the food had been eaten, which was not the case apart from the duck. We dine out often and have never had an experience where we were made to feel as though we were being dishonest. It’s one thing not to enjoy a dish, but it’s another when multiple items taste off and concerns are dismissed. Very disappointing overall.
