A cute Spanish tapas restaurant in the centre of Summertown. The interior deco is stylish and cosy. Enough space between tables for us to enjoy our conversation. The food is good. We ordered 5 dishes to share between 2 girls (3 smaller ones from the 1st page of menu, 1 sea dish and 1 meat). Right amount for us. The waiters are very friendly! Will come back. A minor point is quite a few dishes are not available. I guess it’s because it wasn’t very busy and they were scaling down the materials.
