Great experience in the semi private area for a group of 10 people. Service was quick and helpful - food was delicious!! Deluxe set menu was enjoyed by all and we left very full!! The semi private area overlooking the terrace was great for the big group as we could still hear each other to chat! Thank you!!

Nowhere is cheap in Sydney, and I’m from London ! But the quality here was first class. Lovely plump oysters, and absolutely top grade anchoas del cantábrico. However no bellota jamón (only cebo, albeit very decent, but at a bellota price!). And fabulous wagu followed by lovely snapper to finish. Service was also first class.

The paella rice was over cooked and mushy. The mussels were so tiny they were non-existent. The chicken was okay and the prawns were good. They did warn us that the tacos were tiny, that was an understatement. The waitress was very friendly and gave good customer service. I don’t think we will ever return. Regards DW
