Reviews
We had green asparagus salad and the original paella. The salad was fresh, the sweety drop ted peppers were delicious. The paella was cooked perfectly, the trick to get a perfect paella is always to ask to use less salt. The service was excellent.
The waitstaff were kind and attentive. The paella served 2 people quite well, and was good. The sourdough bread was also very good, along with the fried calamari and meatballs (which contain cilantro, by the way), but the fried potatoes had too much sauce on top, which would have been better on the side. The drinks came in nice glasses and the plates were aesthetically pleasing. Would recommend try
Likely my favourite dining experience since being in Scotland. Our server was extremely helpful. We ordered the Seasonal Paella, Jambalaya, King Prawn Corizo and it was fantastic. The flavours were so complex and beyond amazing. While waiting we had the Olivas Marindas, oh my they were so delicious. We also had the Gambas Pil Pil and the Pimentos Del Padron. Pics attached. And why not enjoy a classic Sangria. I can not recommend this place enough. Well worth the trip to Inverness.
Amazing food and very nice service. Paella was good but tapas are definitely better, even though they're quite expensive. Very good sangria
Everything was excellent! We had the Paella Valenciana and a few tapas, all of which were delicious. Our server was also incredibly kind and chatty, and the overall experience was amazing.
