Beautiful place, beautiful food and absolutely lovely music. It’s very cute for couples, it has a soft vibrant atmosphere and dimmed lights that make everything special. We ordered only pintxos from the menu, and we were incredibly full. What I suggest is absolutely the meatballs (raciòn) and the mini burger, which were both incredible. The meat is exquisite and very tasty. Calamari were good but usual fried food, while the patatas bravas were alright, nothing too special. Their vermouth is incredibly good, you have to try it. overall a very good place to eat, will definitely be back -L

A little bit on the expensive side, also because the dishes are not extremely big but they were all really good. The also serve gazpacho e 2-3 vegetarian options. (I took the hummus and it was a really big appetizer)

A wonderful surprise ! The bartender was real nice and everything we ordered was delicious. The cocktails were truly good, very well balanced. The food was super tasty, you should try the Chipirons. We had the Black Ground for dessert and it was heavenly, full of flavors and textures ! We'll swing by next time we visit for sure !

The food was good. Some of the waitresses/waiter didn’t speak English. They seemed a little impatient. We had a reservation at 7:00 and we came at 6:54, there were plenty of open tables but we were told we could not be seated until the exact time of our reservation. We ended up waiting about 5 minutes after 7 until being seated. It was overall good food and nice placing of the restaurant. Would recommend it.

Excellent food, we ate there twice and everything was simply perfect, from starters to fish, main dishes and desserts. Mainly frequented by locals, that confirms both quality and value for money.
