    Can't remember ever seeing the place but have you any idea how late it stays open?? Is it usually open at night??

    Cheers for the heads up..

    When you say "bar"... will it have a full licence or just wine?

    Sounds great! Will try and make it!

    theres an advert in the dining out section of the argus today referencing it.
    Spanish and mex evenings from 6-10 thur-sun. nearly sure they dont have a bar licence but i think they're doing complimentary wine.

    Well there was no complimentary wine there last night. I did enjoyed the tapas though.

    Their tempura was lovely and light. The breads were all lovely and fresh, though last night was the first night so you would expect them to be. The stuffed chilli's weren't on which was slightly disappointing, the friendly waitress told me they'd be in soon though. There wasn't a wide range of tapas so if they want to keep it going , they'll need to change the menu frequently to keep the regulars interested or just add more options. They also should get some fresh fish onto the tapas menu imo, they had a seafood plater of sorts but it wasn't on the tapas menu, calamari, prawns are simple additions that are quick, easy and taste fantastic.

    All in all, we enjoyed it and would go back should they decide to run with it. Must send a few friends round too.

    It comes what ever way you want tbh. In Spain/Barcelona, they bring you the course as soon as they're cooked unless you specify otherwise. In my experience, they don't generally wait to serve them all together, or break them down into starter, main course etc.

    You can go and order one course, if your still hungry then order another, alternatively you can order 2 or 3 courses at once, so the cost can vary widely.

    I think the tapas last night were any where between €7-€9. It can add up quickly if 2 people have a couple of tapas each. The plate of mixed meat & veg was €21 iirc. Hope this helps :)
