   Food and service were good, although was surprised to get all the food at the same time - we're used to tapas arriving at different points.

   Although the food was tasty we were very disappointed with the portion sizes for the price. Yes, I know tapas is small plates, but 3 ham croquettes £6, 4 meatballs £10, small wedge of tortilla £7, come on you’re having a laugh! It was our first and will be our last visit.

   Would have scored higher but I booked a table for 6.30 and when we arrived we were told they were closing at 7.30. You should have really told us that at point of booking or emailed us afterwards. I understand why, as it is a Monday in February, and the staff were really lovely. I do think they should have told us though before we arrived.

   Been several times before, on this occasion (Valentines weekend) the portions were very small, the pork dish had more fat than pork and the garlic mushroom (single 🍄 with bread) was cold. On this visit I was very disappointed.

   Just above average. Service was slow had to ask the waiter a few times for different things - menu, dessert menu. Appeared under staffed. Toilets needed cleaning.

   We were met by a rather unhelpful greeter who didn’t make us feel at all welcome. We had arrived early and asked if we could eat earlier and were told no. The restaurant was so cold and the service was extremely slow.Two other tables nearby commented on how cold it was too. The food was ok, nothing special. Wine was overpriced. Happy to eat our food and leave. Certainly wouldn’t recommend for a visit. Really disappointed as we had been recommended to visit while we were down in Manchester.

    The restaurant on the ground floor was freezing I know there is a lot of glass windows but still very cold which made the food go cold quickly. Poor quality food felt like some had been microwaved will not return
