Bocadillos on First

The food is not great, I'd call it edible. The menu is also dated in that it is not vegetarian or vegan friendly (I'd guess not even 5% of the menu). You can also not change items on the menu (for example remove cheese off a pizza for Avo) without additional costs. Generally (except for steak) the menu is overpriced for the quality. Coffee was ok. The food was presented well and the place seemed clean. This should not be your first choice - more like your fifth...

Worst service I experienced in 2019. We arrived at the ‘Please wait to be seated’ sign. 15 min later even though we were passed by waitrons 5+ times we weren’t helped. We then decided to seat ourselves and told 2 separate waitrons we were sitting and need menus. After 20 min unable to get a menu we asked to speak to the manager. Nobody could find him/her. It took us over an hour to receive drinks and order food. We only stayed to eat there because the food had come so highly recommended. It definitely wasn’t worth the wait with a menu that sounded wonderful but with food that was a tiny bit above average.

Food is good but service is unacceptably poor. We arrived and waited to be seated, as the sign said to do. Waiters kept passing us, we even moved the sign to right in front of us to make it clear that we were waiting - nothing. Eventually we seated ourselves, telling a waiter we were doing so on the way. After another 10 minutes of sitting there without a menu one of us got up to complain, and menus arrived. After another 15 minutes I got up and asked a manager for service. Service from there was still very slow, with long waits and having to ask for things multiple times. When the food eventually came it was very tasty and how we asked for it. I had the pork belly, and it was delicious. The food, however, does not make up for the rest of the experience. We even had to grab our own takeaway box from the waiter stand on the way out. My rating is a 3 and not a 1, only because of the food. We will definitely not be returning.

Wonderful food. Fabulous service. Lovely atmosphere. Desserts are a bit pricey. Parking at night not very well lit.

Quick stop for some dessert. Had the almond tartlet and caramel tart. The almond one was a definite favourite. It was very moist and not too sweet. The caramel is great for those with a sweet tooth, although the crust of the tart was hard to cut through.

It was a bit full but they were able to accommodate us. I suggest making a booking before going there on busy days. You might struggle with parking

Food quality was great. Had a chicken liver and side salad for breakfast, and the cappuccino with side cream was AMAZING!
Others in the group had personal pizza and it was also well worth it and filling
