The usual clientele are students or young professionals as the restaurant is the unique idea of the Liverpool Hope University's graduates. The decor is oretty simple, not plain, but simple which is a nice idea as it creates a really airy and open atmosphere, the only problem is the dodgy seats... you just can't get comfy. The food is pretty good, but not as good as my little La Tasca... similar style tapas but it just doesn't have the romanticism about it. I'd recommend the Lebanese chicken - it's pretty yum.

Serving tapas-style food, it is simple and snacky and quite a nice place to relax, if only the damn chairs weren't so uncomfortable! I've not seen it full in a long time, and I can't understand why, as you would struggle to fault the food, bar or service. Perhaps with the clinical squarish wood tables and chairs and open spaces it struggles to lack atmosphere. But then again, it is not dissimilar to many other places on Allerton Road.

Everybody feels uneasy about goats. Why do they taste sodding identical? Eating goat's cheese brings me as much joy as sniffing Big Billy Goat Gruff after he's been in the gym, something I first discovered in the restaurant that's so good they named it twice, Tapas Tapas. A combination of agreeable staff and out-of-the-way location make this the ideal place to get gradually sozzled on wine and bask in the warm wooden coziness and brick-walled splendour of a restaurant with enormous amounts of quiet humility. Still, I'd rather shoot a sprout off my dog's head with a flamethrower than try the goat's cheese again.

I have to say that I'm not the biggest fan of Tapas Tapas probably depsite most peoples view that…read moreit's a good restaurant but the last meal I had here was not the best - lacking in seasoning and flavour, even the patatas bravas were a bland! - I have subsequently had freinds and family say the same - and worse which I won't go in to because I didn't experience it first hand. Despite the huge pieces of cured ham leg hangign from the ceiling a la authentic castillian restaurants I can't say that it was the best Spanish food I have tried - not even in Liverpool now that it feels our economy is based on Tapas places! At around £4 - £5 pounds for a plate this is about avaerage for a tapas restaurant, unfortauntely so was the food.

This location was recommended by a local so we tried it. Upon entering, it is a smaller establishment with a second floor. There are more tables up here, but it is a little warmer. The decor is very simple. This is one area they could possibly improve on. The staff was very friendly and courteous. They helped us to choose things from the menu and explained the items to us with detail. We tried several of the dishes here. We started with the flatbread and hummus. This was homemade and very delicious! We then had the ox cheek ragu and the chistorra sausage. Both of these dishes were very flavorful, especially the ox cheek. This was the first time I've had ox cheek and it was quite unexpected. The sausage was a little on the greasy side. Ox cheek won that round. Then we had the cauliflower and the Indian spiced bean. Both of these dishes were absolutely wonderful. This round was a tie. Last round we had the sea bass and the coley. Both of the fish dishes were very good, but the coley was phenomenal. I highly recommend this restaurant as it is tasty and priced very well. We will return at some point!

The courtyard is a large wine bar and eatery that seemed busy for a Thursday night, but not so busy that there were no tables or that you couldn't get a drink from the bar, it was a nice kind of busy and created an excellent atmosphere.
