In my mad mission to catch up with everything new in Birmingham, I came across this place in "new businesses on Yelp". Whilst I had been aware that something new was coming to Bennett's Hill - I had no idea what that would be. Tapas is getting really big in the City at the moment. I love Tapas (both as a food and a concept). Small plates shared around a table of friends - it's a great way to try lots of things without being so stuffed you can't move at the end of a meal. I was super excited to learn that Amantia was a new Spanish restaurant with a focus on Tapas! I booked a table for lunch for 4 of us on the Saturday and perused the menu. There are lots of different types of Tapas starting from £5 and going all the way up to £10 for a meat board. Although it's not the cheapest, the prices seemed fair for a restaurant offering something different, good quality and in it's location in the centre of town. We hungrily walked down on Saturday excited to try something new! The restaurant itself looks great! Deep purple walls, smart furnishings and little touches of Spanish flair - it's so good to see this space being used and looking different. We were greeted straight away by the friendly staff and our table had been laid out prior to our arrival. Whilst we were waiting for our lunch companions, we decided to order a bottle of wine. We went for a bottle of white (which wasn't too badly priced at around £16) and had another look at the menu. When everyone was settled, we were ready to order! Although the menu recommends three tapas dishes per person, we went for two each and chose a selection of dates with cheese and bacon, pastry parcels with chorizo and black pudding and a whole range of different options off the menu. Everything ended up being amazing. The dates were a particular surprise (and a table favourite), as well as the aubergine chips and the black pudding parcels. Although we were pretty full by the end, me and Dan ordered a cheese board (with a glass of sherry) and Stuart ordered a almond cake. We were mightily impressed with the "cheese to cracker" ratio (more cheese than crackers) and the Sherry really complimented the cheese choices. All together our bill came to around £110 with tip (which wasn't bad for 9 dishes of tapas, a bottle of wine, two lagers, a glass of red wine, a sharing platter of cheese with sherry and a cake). The service, decor and food were all sublime and I was definitely impressed with this new offering. read more

I have only been here as part of a Yelp Elite event, but from what I can gather the place is really lovely, and the food (for the most part) was fantastic. I sampled as many tapas as I could and there wasn't a single thing I didn't like... manchego with almonds... fried calamari... various croquettes (my favorite was actually the mushroom) and chorizo. There were three paellas and they were all pretty good; I found the seafood one to be too salty for my taste. The chicken and chorizo one was really good but definitely had strong seasoning which others might not enjoy. I think I will be back for more tapas, in any case! Churros and chocolate for dessert... so delicious. The decor is very simple and elegant, although a bit too bare for me personally, I personally think the place could use a bit more 'flavor' in it's interior design to match the food. But it didn't really detract from the experience. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and attentive, even with an incredibly large group. read more

I've been looking for a great independent tapas spot in the city centre and ah ha! Found! The food here is lovely: try the dates, the goats cheese/chorizo parcels and the squid and you'll be very happy indeed! Add in the black pudding parcels and the meatballs and you'll be super happy. This is a family run place which I absolutely love and the service is friendly and attentive. A great place for a weekday catch up with friends - which is how I tried it, but I think it'd make a nice weekend date location too. Quiet enough to chat, tasty sharing plates and sangria to boot. read more

*UPDATED* 25/07/15: I visited this place three months ago and today, on a Satuday evening, it was time to put Amantia truly to the test. Unfortunately they failed. Taking our initial order was too slow, and the tapas dishes came out in two batches - first three quite quickly, second three forty-five minutes later. We were offered bread; "yes please," only to have to remind them ten minutes later that we were still waiting. The food was good and hot, just like before, and the restaurant was packed. But as my other half commented to me, there's not really any atmosphere here. I might give it one more try, but now I'm not in a rush to do so. ====== 25/04/15: Yum. The building used to be a Sainsbury's Local, but you couldn't tell. Just that odd feeling of "I'm sure I've stood in a queue in here in a previous life" washes over you, followed by the smell of amazing food. Service was brisk and friendly, and our order of ten tapas dishes arrived promptly in three batches. It turns out that wrapping dates in bacon is an ingenious idea that many other restaurants haven't caught on to doing yet; if you end up here, you simply must try this dish! There's squid and mussels, chicken and lamb, meatballs and chorizo and it's all cooked spectacularly well and served in plush and comfortable surroundings. I look forward to bringing my friends and family here very soon :) read more

I've walked past Amantia soo many times since it opened last year and I've heard some great things about it. This was my first visit and we were in a big Yelp group. The sangria was great and having a big group was pretty cool. We shared starters between groups of four or five. Patas Bravas, Chorizo, Bread, Cheese, Calamari were all shared. The cocktails were two for one so Julie and I had a Gin Cocktail. The lady who was making the cocktail was also responsible for the Paella so I felt a little guilty about keeping the others waiting.. well a little.. We were presented with three different paellas. Rice rabbit and chicken were on my plate. It was pretty nice. I had a second plate! Spanish food is all about taking your time and enjoying the company and this style very nicely fit our group. The venue itself is quite a big square space and it feels quite British rather than a Spanish venue. Oh and we finshed with Churros and they were great!! I tried this experience for free as part of the Yelp Event. The venue were very kind to host 25 people so thank you to them. read more

Little contemporary delights. Amantia is a restaurant brave enough to do tapas without any potatas bravas in sight and instead serve up a selection of modern, beautifully presented and interesting tapas dishes (the tuna was a real standout for me) that really inject something new into what's becoming a tired selection. The setting reflects the menu, no terracotta to be found here, just a clean and airy space albeit, in my opinion, slightly too harshly lit. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, this is a family run affair, and the service was quick and efficient. They also have a good selection of gins, each served with the correct botanicals and in the Spanish style (in a big wine glass with lots of ice). The prices are very reasonable for the city centre and there is enough on the menu to demand several return trips! read more

I attended Amantia for a Yelp meet up, my first official one! I had passed the smart looking place before and had read about an exciting new Family owned Spanish restaurant opening. This kind of thing is right up my street so this prospect excited me. Amantia is a welcome addition to the burgeoning food scene in the area. Set in a beautiful old building, the facade is unsuspecting....perhaps they could do more to make the place stand out. The big sign is quite simple and classy but the the stick on window signs advertising the beer is not so. More of a feature needed to draw the crowds in needed in my opinion. The decor is smart and contemporary, not stereotypically Spanish which I quite liked actually. The space is large so I do think more needs to be done to make the space more intimate and less brand like and vacuous. The bar area is clean and sleek with high gloss white which shined with perfection and the drinks offers were great. Sangria on entrance was a treat and was very tasty. The tapas was varied, interesting and delicious! The calamari was particularly pleasing, it stood out to the normal squid rings served up. This was delicate and elongated strands of delight, lightly fried with a subtle garlic alioli. The second course, paella was OK although a little oily. However in fairness, paella wouldn't be my choice to order and it was authentic and looked freshly prepared and cooked. Churros for dessert which were fine, if they are your bag! Marta, the owner was lovely, works really hard and was very attentive! She really welcomes you in and is keen to take care of her customers. I would return for tapas for sure and would love to enjoy a few drinks at the beautiful bar! Be back soon... read more

With a number of new businesses opening in Brum whilst I was on holiday I felt duty-bound to check them out. We ventured to Amantia last Saturday with some friends and whilst it was a busy day in the city centre the restaurant was pleasantly chaos free. The spacious interior is well laid out with plenty of room between tables so you don't feel crammed in. The service from start to finish was fantastic, Claudia offered friendly banter and a couple of recommendations and we eventually settled on a bunch of tapas dishes to share over a bottle of wine and a couple of beers. All the dishes were excellent, but the stand out items were most definitely the aubergine chips, the black pudding parcels and the dates wrapped in bacon. From start to finish the tapas was incredible, and fairly well priced given the quality and care evident in the food. After a brief respite Vicky and I decided to finish the meal with a cheese board to share which was accompanied by a glass of sherry. I'm not a huge sherry drinker (more of a port man myself) but the slightly tart sweetness of the sherry complemented the cheeses perfectly. And whilst on the subject of cheese the guys at Amantia have got their cheese/cracker ratio spot on! A fantastic addition to Birmingham's culinary repertoire. read more

Amantia - Menu - Spanish Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

There's not a huge amount of Spanish or tapas places in Birmingham so I was really excited to check out Amantia. I was lucky to go along to the opening night. The tapas available that night was lovely but they weren't sure about which would be going on the menu so it didn't seem right to review it then. Drinks wise we had fantasic giant gin and tonics with Gin Mare gin garnished with lavender. This went very well with our food. We also tried the sangria which tasted of decent red wine but with the lovely sweet fruit taste too. We had tapas to share for our meal rather than mains. Everything sounded delicious so that was a good start. In the end we went for: *Octopus (amazing) *Seared tuna (melt in the mouth) *king prawns (good, excellent garlicky sauce) *Dates wrapped in bacon (you have to try them) *Aubergine fries drizzlerd in honey (yum) *Filo parcels with chorizo and goats cheese. All amazing. They were brought out in threes which is a good idea but we probably could have done with the fries the whole way through. Service was lovely throughout. It is quite a large restaurant so felt spacious although it was quite busy. We will definitely be back to try mains and more brilliant gins! read more

Simon H. said he wanted to check out a new place each week so as Amantia had practically just opened, I suggested we check out the tapas. Adam S. joined us and we ventured down on a weekday to taste the menu! I'd been given a few recommendations from Vicky O and Dan G so I was looking forward to it. On entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the staff and our coats taken and hung up. I really like the décor, its modern and feels spacious. However, it can seem a little dark as there appears to be some sort of 'blackout' on the windows, which means you can't really see into the place either from the outside. We got our free sangria (thanks Dan G!) and settled in. I opted for three tapas dishes, which they recommend as the standard portion for one person. I had the 'Hojaldres de Morcilla' - these were little puff pastry parcels with black pudding, cheese, onions and marmalade. I loved them! I only got two but could have eaten more. My next dish was the 'Delicias de Sobrasada' - again these were filo pastry parcels filled with chorizo and cheese. I was expecting something slightly different from these and there didn't appear to be a lot of filling, which I would have preferred. My final dish was the 'Datiles con bacon' - and as you can probably guess, its dates wrapped in pancetta! These were amazing and again, I wish there were more! The food came out as and when it was made so between three of us, there were more than 9 dishes but the service was good and when one plate was finished it was quickly taken away. However, even though we were tasting each other's choices, we were not sharing, which meant that at times, I was sitting there with nothing while the boys had 2 plates each, but we were warned! There is a cocktail menu full of gin but as I had sangria (which was very tasty) I can't comment. The bathrooms are situated downstairs and I thought the décor was well-thought out. It's a great use of space but I couldn't help but feel that some of the dishes were slightly overpriced for what I got. Either way, I enjoyed my evening and would go again. read more

Amantia - Black pudding parcel - Spanish Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

This is a lovely, friendly restaurant very well located on Bennetts Hill.I arrived a little hot and bothered after a meeting and then a long walk into the city centre. I'd stupidly put on my coat on account of the grey skies but it was actually a bit muggy. Anyway, I needed some lunch and fast and I needed a sit down. It was around 3.30ish so pretty much the dead zone, with maybe 2-3 other tables occupied. I was greeted by the friendly Claudia and selected a comfy seat by the window for myself - no fuss at all. The whole vibe and decor shouted up market, but her informal politeness made me feel at home. Now, food wise, I've had two Deliveroo deliveries from this place. So I was interested to see how their sit in offering compared. The delivery food was solid enough, but a little spartan to say the least. Based on that I ordered what I thought would be similar amounts of food. The problem was portion size was much larger when it arrived and so I couldn't actually eat it all. The reason they don't get 5***** is because of the difference with the delivery and sit down value. First arrival from the al la carte menu was a serving of Bravas. For delivery, I'd call it a Ok starter. In the restaurant (same pricing mind you!) there was easily enough for two. Despite ordering everything together it didn't arrive together, as I expected. The Chicken with Stilton dish only came after I'd eaten the Bravas (I was starved!) and it came also with the vegetables. Had I seen it all together I could have eaten less Bravas and more veg or salad. As is, there was more wasted than I'd have preferred ... and actually, had I know the portion size would be so different, I would have ordered less. The Chicken also came with a reasonably substantial side salad, which I didn't have when the same meal was home delivered. It was served on a bread board, which I always find irritating! I didn't fancy wine so ordered a very nice Mocktail; can't remember the name, maybe a boro boro or something, but it had a nice ginger edge to it. I enjoyed it, but as with many cocktails there's too much ice used to make the glass look full, so it didn't go very far. On to dessert. I like to leave a bit of space for ice-cream as it's great as a stomach settler I find after a big meal. I had a scoop each of Hazelnut, Raspberry and Vanilla. Very nice indeed and perfect end to a pleasant meal. Well priced at £4.95. In total, my meal came to £33 or so with tip. Would I go again ... the answer is yes, probably. Would I order again for Deliveroo home delivery ... hmmm, I don't know. I felt a bit cheated to be honest. I think I ordered the same dishes in the restaurant as I'd had delivered, but there was just so much more. This isn't a cheap place to order from either. I feel I over-paid by a considerable degree, despite Deliveroo offering fast and friendly service. read more

Amantia - Run out of plates? Eat off a bread board! - Spanish Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

Another excellent meal with friends and their family this week. The food is exquisite! The wine divine! The service impeccable. Thank you Amantia and co xx read more

So when someone says Spanish cuisine you immediately think 'Tapas!' and 'Paella'! Right?! Well as someone who has never really experienced these things you can rest assured that this will be an un-informed review and not to focus too much on my opinion of the food as it's not something I feel I know enough about. With that out of the way, I arrived here for the first Yelp Elite event of 2016 and also a little bit later where everyone had been seated. I knew where the place was from walking past in the daytime before but there isn't any signs for people walking up and down Bennets Hill and compared to other businesses in the area (like Cosy Club and Buffalo and Rye) its a little unremarkable. Inside looks like it was decorated with the intention of being sleek and modern with the purple walls, glossy white kitchen cabinets - and then someone remembered it was a Spanish restaurant so they stuck hand fans to the ceiling lights and put shells on the tables, and then someone else really likes plants so they've stuck some potted plants to the wall, and then some shelves in the back might've been on sale... You get the point, maybe I'm being a bit critical but compared to other places in Birmingham the decor just doesn't work. But decor isn't everything after all, the most important things are the food and service. With it being a yelp event I never really interacted with any staff but they all seemed really polite, well dressed and clean. Several different tapas were shared amongst the table, all of them tasted fine to me, the paella that came a considerable amount of time later came in 3 varieties - seafood, chicken and rabbit and vegetarian. They tasted very similar and a little oily, the least of which was actually the vegetarian so I think that was my favourite. I left before dessert was served but its not something I usually order anyway. I had a look at the menu to see what else was on offer should I return on my own, there were a lot of other (authentic?) options that I would want to try in the future which were competitively priced for the area. I never really like to base a final review from a yelp event, there was a lot of us and it can be a lot for people to cope with a party of 30ish people. It has not awakened a hidden love for Spanish food in me, but it's somewhere I would bare in mind when the moment takes me. read more

Could this be the place for the best gin and tonic in Brum......I think it possibly could be! I am solely judging this place on its beverages as the only other time I have been here has been as part of a Yelp event ....although all the food was fantastic then! They have a small bar are a at the front of the restaurant which is mainly used for diners arriving but I have been taking full advantage of this space and going in with friends for the ....wait for it.....apple and cinnamon gin and tonics! I think im in love. Sweet and spiced these gin and tonics look amazing and taste just as good to add to this I dont think I have seen this flavour of gnt anywhere else.......my main question there is WHY! But at least it gives me a good excuse to go and get a warm welcome at Amantia from time to time :) Never a bad thing. read more

So finding this place is like a needle in a haystack.... I walked past this place twice without knowing it is there. There is no clear signage in eye level. There is a huge sign at the top of the building which is hard to see in the dark and there signage near the ground on windows so made it difficult to find. When I walked inside it looked the part. But for me personally it didn't feel very Spanish/Mediterranean! You can tell that this place is independently owned as the decor isn't really up to scratch with the rest of the restaurants and bars in the area. How ever they have a very nice bar area. They also make some great gin and tonics on which they had a 241 deal. Having attending a yelp event here to sample the food, its a shame to say it wasn't the best. I spoke to some other yelpers who have been here before. They said the food is pretty good here. So I suppose they cater better for smaller groups. We came in a large 20+ people group and my review is based on catering for large groups which I don't think the staff did well. We had tapas starters of calamari, patato bravas with spicy sauce. Creamy mushrooms and cheese and were all delicious. The second course came after about an 30/40minute wait. Everyone was hungry at this point and myself and clearly others were left disappointed with a tasteless paella in seafood and meat versions. The vegetable paella was the only one that tasted well. A lot of food was left on peoples plates which only meant one thing. I wasn't hugely happy with the service it was slow but can only put this down to being such a large group of people we may of been too much for them to handle. But then in hindsight the restaurant wasn't full of regular diners either. After another 30/40minutes we got desserts. By this time a lot of people had left. Again poor slow service and the churros were tasteless it tasted of nothing and the chocolate sauce too runny.. Bit of an anti climax... All in all the sample food was nothing special. I've had better paella in supermarket ready meals. I would return again to sample the menu rather tasting a few bits.. So watch this space! read more

Birmingham has really upped its Tapas game recently, there was a time when it was pretty much La Tasca or nothing. Amantia really adds something different to the mix by unique takes on very authentic spanish cuisine in a slick modern environment. The also have an amazing looking a-la-carte menu too. I wen't along with a few other yelpers for a bit of tapas one weekday evening and we ordered a good bit of the menu to share (just as tapas should be!), washed down with some sangria obviously. Particular highlights were the dates stuffed with almond and wrapped in bacon, the black pudding and goats cheese parcels and the fish stew, all were tasty, well presented and interesting. Prices for the tapas are average, but the portions are really generous, so it works out pretty good value for money. I think Amantia really compliments the other tapas offerings in the city by offering something different whilst keeping the quality really high. I'll definitely be back soon to check out their a-la-carte menu! read more

So Amantia was somewhere I couldn't wait to try! Birmingham had been lacking an authentic tapas restaurant ( Estilo is nice but feels mass produced & I do like Rico Libre but I wouldn't say all the dishes are traditional). Amantia delivers a quality, authentic product at a reasonable price point. My friend & I checked it out on a quiet Tuesday ( well it was until the Yelp Elite turned up :p). The restaurant is spacious but still felt quite cosy - we didn't seem lost despite there only being one or two other tables occupied. The service was of a high level & we felt looked after. We decided to have tapas & took advantage of the free sangria as we were dining sun - thurs during the opening month. The sangria was delicious & I would pay the full price of £10 for this. We chose 5 tapas & a side salad. Tortilla with chorizo, meatballs, aubergine chips, a plate of cured meats & calamares. The tapas arrived in two lots as often happens with tapas but I found if strange we had to wait so long for a side salad. All dishes we re delicious, not overpowered with garlic which you can find & despite my initial reservations were very filling. The dessert menu was reasonably comprehensive but we were too full to try - hopefully next time. The bill was £37 ( without tip) which I feel was good value! We loved the ambience & tasty tapas treats & there's plenty on the menu I can't wait to try! read more

The one thing you will see from all the reviews very much reflect my first impression, unassuming. Having walked last Amantia several hundred times, however last week was the first time I've ever been inside. The decor is modern with subtle Spanish hints, but overall it feels very calm and relaxed. I went as part of a very big Yelp Group, in total we were looking at 40 in our group along with other diners. The food itself was very nice, the tapas we were served was something I will definitely be going back for again. This was followed by paella which was nice, I opted for sea food and was impressed at how well cooked it was. Desert was churros which were nice although slightly too sweet for me. Drinks were top notch and with a fantastic selection of gin and tonics on the menu ticking all the right boxes for me. Overall I have to say I was thoroughly impressed and will be going back. read more

Amantia is the latest in a line of Tapas joints to open in recent years and sits next to one of the busiest restaurants in town serving sharing dishes and small plates - the much applauded Bodega. I was therefore expecting it to be rammed full of people on Easter Saturday at 6pm given that, surely, the hordes of people who get turned away from Bodega because it's too busy (it's a lot, and I'm regularly one of the departing disappointed) would simply go there instead. But no, there were only about six people in the large restaurant. Why, I wondered? Was this a bad sign? I strongly suspect that people are put off by the aesthetics. The frontage is a bit stark with lettering that can easily be missed, a grey colour on a cream painted background that needs another coat or two. The unfinished feel continued inside with bare cables hanging from walls, a missing staircase bannister, and large unframed photos not quite perfectly hung. I'm not sure whether it was the black too-high ceiling, the small tables, the colour scheme (purple!), or the harsh lighting, but it felt uninviting. Now I was worried. A delightful waitress made us feel at ease. I'm fairly sure she was Spanish, otherwise she was doing a very good Spanish accent. There were four of us eating tapas and the waitress took us through some dishes and advised us how much we needed and told us which was her favourite. She also convinced us to try the signature gin cocktails. We tried an Apple & Cinnamon gin and tonic and also a Strawberry one (£6.50), which were both very tasty. I didn't realise that G&T was particularly Spanish but apparently in recent years these "gintonics" as they're known have taken off in Spain. Gintonic bars have sprung up that serve these refreshing flavoured and spiced G&Ts in large balloon glasses. They were moreish so I can see why they're popular. We also had some spanish beers - pints of Alhambra, and bottles of Estrella. So I had ascertained by now there was no problem with the service nor the drinks. How Out In Brum - Amantia - Calamariabout the food then? We had manchego with honey and almonds and a red pepper dip (£5.95), cured meats (£9.95), calamari (£6.95), Rioja cooked chorizo (£6.50), meatballs (£5.95), Spanish omelette (£4.95), aubergine chips (£5.95), black pudding and goats cheese pastries (£6.50), salt cod and mushroom croquettes (£5.95), and aubergine chips (£5.95). It was all good quality and I'd say it was all prepared well, and that the calamari and chorizo were very good. I don't think anything was outstanding. Given the price point though I don't think anyone could complain about amount or quality. The tapas plates were all quite safe dishes I think, nothing too adventurous. Then again I'm used to the excellent Comida in Harborne whose tapas is as good as any you'll eat. Despite not being thrilled by the décor of Amantia I will go back and try the larger plates which seemed a little more exciting including octopus salad, Iberian pork in a cider sauce, and salmon steak with orange and taragon. I'm mildly confused why a Spanish restaurant has on its menu a Greek salad but I'm trying not to worry about it. So in summary: décor a bit weird and homespun, food good, service good, price point reasonable. Give it a go! read more

So, the first I knew of this place was leaving bodega with a friend one lunchtime and a waiting waving platters of crochets in my face!;) the restaurant is quite big for the city centre, yet you really wouldn't notice it at all despite the large windows and glass doors! Nevertheless I visited property this week. It was an early lunch so we were on our own initially yet, the place didn't feel empty or soulless. The decor was subtle and stylish. You could use it for a business lunch or special occasion easily. There was a reasonable selection of tapas at around £6. I really couldn't decide, so I went for the ravioli, which was great, though slightly too much sauce. My friend had the tapas meatballs and Aubergine crisps, which I sampled and were quite filling! The waiter also brought us samples of corn crisps and bread and was really helpful when we asked about the menu. To top it off, we got 15% off out bill for visiting in the first fortnight!:) read more

I visited here on a Yelp recommendation, and after hearing so many fellow Yelpers bang on about the tapas you can devour yourself in...so it wasn't exactly a difficult choice! Set on Bennett's Hill near to the latest additions to the Brum nightlife, Cosy Club and The Botanist, it's modern and chic decor almost look slightly out of place compared to it's more themed neighbours, however, what you don't go somewhere for the decor, you go for the food.

I had been eager to try this restaurant for a while as tapas is a firm favourite of mine! I am delighted to say I wasn't disappointed. It was a cold, midweek evening so the place wasn't buzzing but there was a fair amount of other diners. After much deliberation, my friend and I opted to share 6 of the tapas dishes from the menu. I cannot fault any of them but the winner, in my opinion, was the Hojaldres de Morcilla - puff pastry parcels filled with black pudding, soft goat's cheese, caramelised onions and homemade apple sauce - absolutely DIVINE! We washed the food down with copious amounts of Sangria which made for a deliciously authentic Spanish evening out. I will definitely be making a return visit! read more

I went here with my partner near Valentine's Day this year because we like tapas food. The place itself is very nice but busy. The thing I didn't like about this was they said 'authentic' Spanish tapas but it just wasn't, it tasted like an English version on tapas. I was clearly disappointed with my meal but I was trying to work out weather it was because they were busy around Valentine's Day. Maybe giving it another shot when it's quiet. read more

Enjoyed most of the food that we tried here, although it was slow to arrive and the service was very slow during the evening, despite a half-empty restaurant. Will return again to give it another try, as the food was generally good, it has a relaxed feel and the staff were friendly. read more
