    An insult to Spanish food. A few notes to the kitchen: - Gambas pil pil is meant to be served in sizzling oil not luke warm oil; and - Tapas is meant to be served as it comes not all at once in an overwhelming fashion. Whilst Spanish restaurant culture is meant to be more direct, the individuals at this restaurant should consider a more hospitable approach similar to Rafas El Rincon, the best Spanish restaurant in Manchester may I add. Unfortunately don’t believe the hype this place fails to deliver an ounce of the quality it’s purported to bring, avoid at all costs if seeking a real Spanish cuisine experience.
