Another loud Spanish restaurant with a fun, hip vibe. Pretty good tapas that aren't pricey . The turbot (huge) was incredible- one of the best fishes I've had. Octopus and croquettes were also great.
Was here for brunch w/ a friend. Excellent service . Food was very presentable & absolutely perfect. The fish however was perfectly steamed!
Good lunch deal , with tapas buffet (cold cuts , cheese , salad , gazpacho ) + 1 main (the duck confit was good) + 1 dessert . Book in advance!
Great service and awesome food! My family and I had just come for some drinks but ended up having an amazing food experience. We were served fresh seafood that left us wanting more!
It's all about the Txuleta rib eye . If you're going for happy hour , or The Optimistic hour as they call it, try the eggplant fries with honey .
Beautiful restaurant , nice "spanish" food! Great steaks , good quality of the food. I'll be back there soon.
Their al horno (seafood charcoal baked rice ) is really delicious.m <3
We ordered several tapas incl calamari , octopus ..taste is good though not typical Spanish. The seabass was gd though friend said a bit dried becos it was grilled butterflied. Steak & d sauce r very gd
Steak & seafood rice ????????
Great vibe and the food and mocktails are awesome. Best we had in HK.
Great happy hour , awesome space. Try Gin and Ginger . One of the best cocktails I've had.
Went here for a special coursed dinner . Everything was very good including the service. Nice ambiance.
Tasty food, good for sharing with friends. Bar is good for drinks with a great selection of gin and tonics .
Lunch menus have good value for money . Service is good (quite rare in HK). Only negative point, kitchen smell is quite heavy on 3/F.
Good value for money brunch with decent food. Upstairs was a bit crowded and noisy ... will give downstairs a try next time.
Come here for the brunch . Good deal for buffet w/ choice of mains and free flow.
Great tapas , cocktails and steak . Really nice ambience.
Small dishes are enough. I suggest the gambas cooked on plancha. The restaurant is well decorated
Seafood with charcoal rice is great, great service and ambience
Not bad, not amazing. Reliable food. Can't go wrong with burrata . The seafood rice is good for three ppl, lots of prawns .
Good happy hour deals , the environment is chill despite its location.
Nice people and semi tapas buffet .
The service is great and the food is out of this world
Happy hour before 7:30 (including weekends) is fantastic
Crowded , so so drinks. The "special" beer is made by Asahi ?! Seriously.
Allmost everything is good. Food quality, quantity, but most of all service
Loved the food, the atmosphere, and the decor.
Really good service . Lunch sets range from $178 - $200+ plus 10%
Very nice! Good food, friendly service !
They have sangria pitchers for happy hour . ????
Great Happy Hour deals ! ????
Good value for brunch
Nice decor, friendly staff .
40mins after ordering,still no food..we ask,they say "it's coming".30 more minutes and the food start arriving.We pay and they charge the wrong amount..they don't offer even a fake apology.never again
Above average drinks
Taking over from Isola this Spanish restaurant has moved from Wanchai. Tapas, suckling pig & squid ink paella were good, but desserts were outstanding. Best churros I've ever had. Very good service. - Matt Ta-Min
The food here is ok and the price is fair, do not expect too high though. Must try the black truffle chips, very tasty. - William Kan
Love the squid ink paella! Do also order the Tomato and tuna salad. Tomatoes are super fresh and sweet! Liquid Bon Bon like a new interpretation of Churros. A must try for desert lover. - Jolie R
Def worth a try and def will come back again! Yum food with decent price!! - Marrisa Peng
Beautiful 360 view on the island and Kowloon. Highly recommended - Souri So
