    Lovely Food, the specials were amazing. We were in a rush, so the staff had us in and out in 45 minutes with 7 dishes between 2 of us. Larger than normal tapas portions, so maybe 5 or 6 dishes would have been better.

    Food was amazing but service was terrible. It was a quiet early dinner service on Thursday and the host seemed to do everything to ignore our table. Walked past us three times and he didn't even try to make eye contact or check we were enjoying out meal (we were trying to ask for drinks, salt and aioli for most of the meal). Finally got his attention and 15 minutes later the waitress brought the salt and no aioli. It would have taken him seconds to do it when we asked and not have it arrive when we had basically finished. It's a shame because I've eaten here with my girlfriend before and the service was incredible, but this time I came with my flatmate and I felt very unattended and ignored. Service and care felt very different. Guests should not feel this way when the restaurant is far from capacity and especially not when the host walking past us and to the only other outdoor table to go and tend to customers he knew personally. It spoiled the experience of a restaurant I was very keen to show off to my flatmate. Food was good although lack of condiments and everything detracted from the experience. The pork belly came when we had nearly finished every other dish. Not an issue and the menu warns they will come seperately, but honestly we were left wondering if it had been missed off the order with how long it took and the lack of communication (usually you might get a 'your pork belly won't be far behind' or something to that effect.) All in all I was a bit disappointed compared to past visits.
