Simply the best churro ever! So light inside and crispy outside, the chocolate sauce is dark chocolate, and the dolce de leche is just perfect, not too sweet but rich in flavour! Needless to say about the sirloin steak, 6 stars for everything

I’ve been fortunate to enjoy some of the best beef/steak dishes this planet has to offer (Australian, Japanese) so I wasn’t expecting much. But their short rib was the best I’ve ever had, incredible crispy texture and intense flavour. Bone marrow tapa was delicious too. Will be back!

Average steak but amazing staffs!! From the front reception Asian lady to the French master mixer to the Irish Barista. The wine pairing suggestion was good and the adffogato was surprisingly good.Just a suggestion for the steak chef…. if you’re serving a good piece of steak with chimichurri, it is good to put less seasoning in the steak as it over powers the saltiness.Kudos to the staffs!!

Best food we have had at a Restaurant this year. We were greeted with great service as soon as we walked in and given the option to sit in bar until a table became available. We had 5 Tapas which were all absolutely devine and could not fault in any way possible. The churros were next level, fresh and warm and sooooo tasty. My Husband and I will back again to try more of the food they offer. Cocktails were also superb.

There was a queue when we entered, the staff offered if we would like to be on the courtyard (extended dining) as the main dining is full. Ambiance is great, food is pricey but has big serving, staff were very attentive. We had steaks, burger, and Paella (40mins to serve), and the Churros (must try!)One thing I like to highlight was (we left when the restaurant was closed) the staff were having their dinner together in a long table, this I think is what makes them an excellent team and maybe what you can call as a work family.

Great food and service. Portions are rather large for tapas. We ordered 6 tapas and they were all very good. Reservation is not accepted and tables fill up quickly after 6 pm on a weekday.
