Best in the business. Try the mini beer!

Super fresh ingredients and a great atmosphere! I ordered the Gambas al Ajillo and the portion size was decent and everything was delicious. There is outdoor seating and the staff are super friendly.

We came here just on a whim and it turned out to be a great decision. Food was great ! And fun ordering a bunch of small plates and sharing with others at the table.

The food was average to poor and unfortunately the server did not ask how our food was until we had finished our meal. We did explain that one plate in particular wasn’t very good (honestly there were only two out of six we liked) when asked but our server didn’t apologize, didn’t do anything and seemed completely taken aback when we gave our feedback. Despite us trying to be very polite with our feedback it then just got quite awkward! Unfortunately we would not go back again.

An outstanding restaurant with substantial vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options. Service was warm and responsive. Food was amazing. Particularly loved the patatas bravas and the vegetables. Lovely atmosphere. Reservation recommended.

The food here is top notch!! Amazing everything, and delicious paella. The service was so fast, attentive, and our server was so nice. And the price is not bad for the quality of food you get!! Good drinks too.

Parking: There is lots of street parking, just make sure not to get boxed in by the ferry lineup.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible for wheelchairs, there is a ramp up.

Went here during our stay in Bowen, great restaurant with amazing food and a cozy atmosphere. We ordered 4 tapas and were completely satisfied by the end of it and each dish outdid the last. Recommend getting a reservation as they’re only open a short while and are quite popular. Highly recommend!

Very tasty food and it’s a cute intimate restaurant that’s perfect to end a little date night on a weekend getaway. Recommend book your table in advance if possible. The sangria was also very tasty for a reasonable price considering the size!

Incredible food, everything I tried was so tasty. And huge kudos to the kitchen for accommodating my mom's myriad food allergies; she's not easy to feed and they handled it without complaint, and with certainty. Achievement unlocked there.

The only negative points is it is quite pricy, and there's only a single washroom.

Our dining experience was ok. We ordered items off the lunch menu - the tastiest being the brunch paella and the chorizo sandwich. However, what was really surprising were the portion sizes of the Albondigas (shrimp) and Gambas al Ajillo (meatballs). I am not sure how a restaurant can sell six small meatballs or six pieces of shrimp (plus a small salad and two slices of bread) for almost 20 dollars and be ok with it. It may be helpful if these plates were listed under the tapas section, not the lunch section, to set expectations right.
