Nice food, but beware if you order something with bread you get limited slices and will not be given additional or even able to just buy more bread?!

Good Spanish style wine bar in central Manchester. Great service, food OK, better than average wine but nothing to write home about.

This used to be one of our Manchester favourites. Sadly not any more. The staff are lovely and very friendly, but to sit in a cold restaurant with no heating in January with your coat on is unacceptable. Menu is different , we much preferred a good variety of smaller dishes.

Wasnt impressed with the starter it was made out as though the main Ingredient was goats cheese which in fact it was just a little crumble over , other than that the food was tasty

Food was really disappointing. Extremely over cooked pork belly, cold calamari. Advertised shell-off prawns and received shell-on. Table of 8 were seated next to the cold entrance in an empty restaurant.… Service was lacklustre, I found myself looking around often for a waiter and there being no one in sight. Wouldn’t visit again, there are many restaurants in Manchester that trump this establishment on every front, food, service and value.

Simply divine! The service is good and they catered for non drinkers by mixing a mocktail of our choosing. Love the music and the atmosphere here. Oh and the food.....WOW! I had the garlic prawns and they were fresh and tasty!

The food is great and the atmosphere is perfect. I personally recommend tapas and sangria. Main dish tastes good but the portion of it is a bit small. In general, I really love this restaurant.

A sign posted outside advertising 5 tapas for only 10 pounds had us drawn like magnets. Hellooo, recession!

The tapas selection for the lunch special included a variety of seafood, meats, and other tapas regulars like olives and breads. The chorizo was good but could have been more tender. Mushrooms and tortilla were okay... But the calamares' and garlic mayo sauce was delicious and La Vina meatballs were flavorful and tender. The meal included a free basket of bread with tomato and olive oil dipping sauces so it wasn't a surprise we were quickly full and couldn't even finish our

Another tapas place. This one is hidden away on Grey St, down ome stairs. There's a nice bar area aswell as the main restaurant. The food is really nice and the atmosphere is good too, the staff are friendly and laid back, which is what you want when you have tapas. They'll keep bringing you more and more food. The sangria comes in nice big jugs (bigger than el torero!) ad once you're settled, you can stay all night quite happily!
