After reading Kassidy's review, I brought my family here for my boyfriend's Birthday and I was glad I did! We were 8 people so we divided ourselves into two groups of four and ordered off the tapas menu. I had made reservations for 8pm, so when we arrived they had a table ready for us outside. Our waiter was also one of the bartenders, so he was not coming around often enough and we called over one of the other waitresses a few times. She was very quick and friendly. We enjoyed some drinks and bread outside, but it was getting a bit cool and the mosquitoes were out, it is also not non-smoking on the terrace and we had a smoker next to us to ruin our appetite, so before we received out tapas I asked to move inside so they gladly prepared a table for us. The inside decor is gorgeous. The tables and chairs are beautiful wood, although the chairs are very upright and not very comfortable.
The lamb was a favorite among my fam, cooked in a delicious sauce and really tender.
The potatos in tomatoe sauce were too spicy for my liking, but everyone else enjoyed them.
We ordered the garlic shrimp which had a good taste. They were the small shrimp, if you're wondering.
The eggplant was delicious. The flavors combined perfectly it almost melted in my mouth.
I'm not a huge fan of mussels but I tried one anyway, and the taste was good. My aunt and uncle love mussels and they really enjoyed them.
The fig chicken is a must for the less daring in terms of trying different foods. The fig complemented the chicken wonderfully.
The sauted vegetables are also pretty basic, but delicious.
Smoked salmon salad was basically like a Cesar salad with capers and smoked salmon. I don't like capers so I pushed those to the side and enjoyed the rest. Like all the other tapas, the flavors mixed well and the salad was delicious.
The 9th and final tapas we ordered between the four of us was the stuffed peppers. This is not something I'd normally order because I assumed it would be spicy, but my uncle wanted to try it so we ordered it, and it ended up being one of my favorites. It was not spicy at all. It was a red pepper stuffed with a tuna salad. Yum.
The 9 dishes were plenty to feed the 8 of us. The waiter said to have a full meal, usually two tapas per person is enough.
Since it was my boyfriend's birthday celebration, we had him wearing a crown and a Hawaii necklace. At the beginning he asked the waitress if he gets anything for his birthday, then at the end before we left, she brought out a slice of cheesecake with a candle in it which was nice of her. I normally don't like cheesecake, but this one was delicious. Very light and fluffy with a delicious raspberry sauce.
I will definitely go back here in the future. A great little Spanish restaurant in the townships which I will be recommending :) read more
