Reviews Summary
This restaurant is highly praised for its exceptional quality meats, expertly grilled using traditional charcoal and stone methods. Diners frequently highlight the impeccable and friendly service, with specific staff members often mentioned by name. While many enjoy the refined ambiance and diverse menu, some reviews note inconsistencies with certain dishes like paella, and occasional remarks about rising prices. Nevertheless, it's considered a worthwhile indulgence for many.
"Very up market, very good food, and with excellent service. Visit here and spoil yourself. 90% of the time there's parking right outside the front door.
Expect Quality not quantity this is not a fast food outlet, it's a very pleasant environment which seems to have been lost elsewhere, over the last 3 or 4 decades. This is our treat, where we spoil and enjoy ourselves"

"We have ordered paella with duck and seasonal mushrooms. We were a bit confused when we got delivered this "soup." We could not find any mushrooms, only a small slice of it. Duck wasn't really good, I think it will be better soking in some marinate before cooking. You could smell of a duck. We were a bit disappointed really especially when I had a tommy ache after. It's not worth the price. We were given 2 small baguettes which we didn't intend to eat but after being served "paella soup" we decided to eat them. We knew we would have to pay for them, but they cost €1.75 for both. They were delicious, crispy inside, and soft inside. Before paying, they gave us a small bottle of alcohol about 150ml (it was something like limonchello), which we didn't have to pay for.
The big minus is that if you want to eat paella, you have to order at least 2 portions."

"Great experience all around. Amazing friendly service. Most delicious steaks cooked to perfection. We went twice and considering going again as we had a disappointing steak experience at another steakhouse."
