Overall 9 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 9

The food, music & staff were great. A bit hard to find as no sign on Brunswick Street. (August, 2008)

Overall 8.5 - Food 10, Ambience 8, Value 8, Service 8

The food was great, service was good, ambience was lovely, parking is a nightmare, but i love spanish food, and the sangria, is to die for! (TOMALA - July, 2008)

Overall 2.5 - Food 5, Ambience 2, Value 2, Service 1

The place had no ventilation, Some of The food orders came out 1 1/2 hours after the rest of us had eaten. The staff could not understand english, or spanish for that matter. The place ruined what would have been a great night by stuffing up food orders.

Will never recommend or visit this place again. (Scott - March, 2007)

Overall 7.5 - Food 8, Ambience 8, Value 5, Service 9

Food and service were very good. Should improve on size servings. Would go back more frequently if more affordable. So far nicest food in town. (Ross - See my reviews (2) - December, 2006)

"The basics exist for the Spanish Tapas Bar to be an
