We visited this restaurant late on a weekday night, so most diners were finishing their meals, but they were very welcoming and didn’t rush, which was great, as some restaurants tend to hurry you out when they want to clear up. The service was very friendly and attentive and the interior comfortable and jolly, with lots of pictures, a variation of light shades and bright colours portraying a vibrant Mediterranean feel, with a hint of Mexican, just like the menu.
We opted for fajitas, sticky chicken wings and salad, as it was late and we wanted a light meal, but I would go back to try some of the other main dishes on the menu. Everything was hot, tasty and fresh, and a cut above some of the chain restaurants of this kind. Originally, I did indeed think this was a chain, but it is a one off. However, if this one does well, they may well have an opportunity to open another one and
good luck to them if they do.
They offer themed nights with entertainment such as salsa and acoustic bands, and judging by their website, they appear to get quite
busy on these nights so I hope we will get to attend one of those evenings soon.
