   Incredible from start to finish. Our table was ready for us getting there. As a non drinker it was refreshing to see mocktails that weren't just fruit juice. The octopus was delicious, best scallops I've tasted and the galician fillet was amazing! Definitely worth trying! The staff were so friendly and the toilets were immaculate!

   Disappointing Took my fiancé here for her birthday as a surprise treat. We were warmly greeted by the host and seen to our table. He went over the menu with us an informed us of the options available on the sharing menu. We were then “offered” water, olives and bread which we thought was complimentary , it wasn’t, the water was £2.50, olives £6 and bread £5. We should have been informed of this before we accepted it. The meal was mediocre at best. We had king prawns and oysters as a starter. The oysters were nice but the prawns weee whole and there was nothing to them after shelling. For our main course we had the 600g Galician chateaubriand with mushrooms and greens as our 2 sides with peppercorn And garlic butter as sauces. It cost £96 and was nice though very overpriced, the garlic butter was a pad of unmelted butter and not fit for a steak of that size, peppercorn was nice. We also got manchego mac and cheese and manchego truffle fries, both were bland and garlic mushrooms which were nice. One of the plates for serving was dirty, when we asked for more garlic butter we were forgotten about and had to say to another server about it. We had 2 bottles of Malbec, £45 a bottle, decent but overpriced. For desert we shared a Basque cheesecake, the only thing that was truly delicious. When we got the bill it came in at £280, it was definitely not worth that money and I sadly would not recommend this restaurant as we had been thoroughly looking forward to our evening and were left disappointed by the experience as a whole. My fiancé wanted to complain but decided against it as not to put a further dampener on the evening. I expected much better from a place with such a high star rating.

   Steak totally over cooked - waiter was very good in managing . Next steak cooked as requested but pretty tasteless. Not the taste of dry aged Galician meat. Been many times before this was a low point.

    Great selection of cuts but the rest of the main menu was limited. Fantastic starters if not a bit pricey. Moody vibe. Superb presentation.
