Has this place been inspected lately!? Overpriced food especially for the very poor quality food. My 7 year old niece would have done a more acceptable job with the food. But did we eat it l? Yes. Was too late to turn back as it all came out at once. Beyond anything I’ve experienced on the whole of King Street - and I mean on the negative side.

Stay away... Very unhygienic place. I doubt they have council approval. If you step inside and your guts tell you is not a good place, please listen to it, we had the bad idea of giving it a chance since we had booked in advance, but the smell since we stepped in was a warning sign we should have listened to. It is also very overpriced for the quality of foods. The lady (who was cooking, bartending, servicing the tables and also cleaning) did her best to provide a good customer service though.

Great food and service. Enjoyed the atmosphere, and the owner worked hard to deliver genuine Spanish tapas.

The food was really good, plus Susie was so welcoming and friendly! Those eggplants with honey are the best! Will definitely be back to try more of their dishes!

I read some reviews on the way to this restaurant when getting directions and some are ridiculous and just so nasty!We had a lovely night in this cute Spanish restaurant. The wine was fab, food was delicious and the service was great. Suzie does all the hosting and cooking and did such a nice job. We were able to chat in a chilled and quiet setting, way better than a huge restaurant where you struggle to hear each other. Great night ! Thank you Suzie !

I'm planning to return here for dinner next week and realised I hadn't written a review about my last visit!Susie was an awesome host to my friend and I, and being a quiet night we had the chance to have a chat and a glass of wine with her at the end of the evening. The food was fantastic and the vibe of the place was really relaxed and friendly.Planning to visit again in the coming week!

I expected a proper tapas, there was no open fire grill or stove in site, food seemed to be prepared in saucepan.It is by far the worst Spanish I have had. It would have been moe enjoyable and a lot cheaper eating at my local pub.

HORRIBLE LET DOWN ON TWO OCCASIONS.Dear Sydneysiders: our fair city is full of wonderful and very hospitable venues, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!Have to take the time to write this to serve as a warning to any potential customers.We were given a $200 voucher for this establishment as a thank you gift. A month after receiving this voucher I called the establishment to make a booking. Tone of the person taking a call changed as soon as she’s heard that booking is for a pre paid voucher, directing me to make the booking though the website that the voucher was purchased from. Respectfully, despite having to request assistance from the site customer service the booking was made. Only to turn up to a restaurant that was closed during its advertised opening hours. No phone calls were answered on the day, and I took the party elsewhere.I managed to speak to the same person that instructed me on how to make a booking on a following day. After hearing numerous excuses I proposed to rebook for the following week, which was gladly confirmed by this restaurant’s operator. Our party turned up for the rebooked date only to find this restaurant closed and sealed again, during the advertised opening hours.I called this restaurant’s operator only to be greeted with verbal abuse and insults.This operator has no idea how to operate a hospitality business, I am extremely surprised the place is open, judging by my experience and the reviews posted here.I have taken two different parties to dine elsewhere on two occasions due to the place I’ve made a booking in being closed. Not only costing me in excess of $300 on this two occasions, but also getting a healthy dose of insults and abuse from this restaurants owner!Dear Sydneysiders: our fair city is full of wonderful and very hospitable venues, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!

Hugely overpriced paella for 3 paid $220 for frozen used ingredients, 5 little capsicums 2 slices of hard bread with mushrooms and the tinest wedges i have ever seen 1 lemon lime bitter 3 soft drinks and 1 cinzano. You will eat better at the pub half the price, would not recommend
