"A lovely place with delicious Spanish food! We were a larger group the the waiters accommodated our demands extremely prompt, setting up a big table and being nice and patient. We had children in our group and the staff was extremely vigilant in advising another heavy-smoking customer to respect us and to leave apart the cigarettes. The place was cosy, close by the city center and parking place."

"Good tapas restaurant. Service was good. The quantities were not generous. We waited in line for almost 30 minutes to get inside."
