    Went for the weekend buffet brunch. We managed to get most of our orders through., but some never reached us. I guess it had to do with the increase in crowd. We had a very loud group of people partying next to us, like with microphone and all. but the manager didn't think of asking them to tone down. So it was a very loud experience for us, frankly we just escaped at the end. The quality of service drops drastically as more guests arrive

    Had dinner on a Saturday evening, tried their tapas food. The ambience was pretty different from expectations based on Google photos. It was much more like a family centric dinner place than a bar. Definitely not a bar. Interior is old and gloomy, but has an old Spanish/European feel. Food is very overpriced for the quality. We got the fried potato (pretty much wedges), $10 plate of mushrooms (?!) and the 'Broken Eggs' which is pretty much scrambled egg with potato and sausages. Drinks are not that value for money as well, but the Red Sangria was not bad. No notable reasons to recommend this place.

    Good place for Tapas in Dempsey Hill. We ordered the croquetas, mushroom, egg plant, baby squid and also the fried milk for dessert. Everything was good except for the fried milk dessert which we think is a big miss. Service can be a little slow at times so hope they would get better.

    We came here to celebrate farewell for a colleague. As you can see, we ordered quite a lot of food (we tried more than half of what they have in the menu) but I didn’t manage to take all the photos of the food. Overall, the food is not bad. Some are good, while others are just average. For tapas, I’d really recommend the tenderloin steak cubes with blue cheese ($21). The blue cheese dip is served separately and though I’m not a fan of blue cheese, I must say that it’s very mild and nice. I also like the garlic fried mixed mushroom ($10) and the fried sweet potatoes. The spanish ham (Jamon Serrano) is not bad ($18). The bbq chorizo sausage ($10) taste very normal and it came burnt. Don’t think it’s worth trying this at all. For the mains, I would recommend the arroz negro paella (large:$65). It’s really really good. We also ordered the paella de carne (large:$65) but this doesn’t taste as nice as the negro paella. The downside would be, we waited for 2 hours for both paellas! So, this place is worth trying if you know how to order the right food.

    Feel like tapas? Don Quijote's Gambas al Ajillo or Garlic Fried "Live" Prawns was simply delish! A close second was their special of the day - Iberico Pork with caramelized onions, garlic sauteed asparagus and rock sea salt sprinkled on the side. Yet another must-try, Tacos de Lomo Queso Azul or juicy and tasty Tenderloin Steak Cubes with Blue Cheese. But if you're a big fan of cheese and you were thinking of thick, chewy and stretchy Mozzarella cheese sticks when you order Palitos de Queso or cheese sticks? Do note that it's more like puff-pastry kinda bread sticks smeared with some cheese. Nonetheless, it's still somewhat satisfying especially when you eat it while it's hot! Just four dishes, between the two of us, and we were stuffed. But if we had more stomach space, we would've definitely ordered their Carrillada en Reducción de Vino Tinto - beef cheek in red wine reduction and also their Scallop Shells topped with scallop and crab meat in Bechamel sauce. Guess we'll just have to do that on our next visit! The total bill was upwards of $100 after taxes but it was money well spent! Love, Lynette Tan P.S. Follow me @lovelynettetan for more!

    Went for the brunch buffet. Food was preety nice, we liked the crab meet dip and oven baked eggplant. Food was still served in quite solid portion. Staff was very friendly except one looks very busy and was always rushing away while putting our food to table.

    Family was there on Sunday a la carte brunch buffet $38 with juice / soft drinks or $58 with Sangria/beer. Overall good value, service and quality 4🌟 IMHO, better dishes were the scrambled eggs, pumpkin leek soup, garlic shrimp, eggplant, croquettes, gazpacho soup, crab avocado dip, meatballs and pasta.

    Tl:dr. Great place with fantastic tapas and a killer Sangria. 2 of us shared 3 tapas, a grilled fish angel hair pasta and a jug of Sangria. Total damage was ~$70. Visited the place at 7pm and it was pleasantly 1/3 occupied so our dishes came fast. All the tapas and pasta were delicious, but special highlight was the awesome Sangria which is a must-try. We actually asked the wait staff about the type of red wine used but apparently it's a trade secret 😆 Fair enough, but it does set the precedent for my future Sangria!

    Service and staff are excellent. Ordered the beef cubes and broken eggs dishes - they look normal but taste is extremely flavourful. The star of the night is the seafood paella, easily the best I've tasted in Singapore.

    The brunch was quite good pretty different from usual. I had the gazpacho good for a warm summer late morning. This pork knuckles really tender and 'free from hair'. My kids love the pasta. Their food is not overly salty considering they are serving with alcohol. Free flow sangria plus brunch at 58+++. Kids at 19+++ free flow of juices and soft drink. The garlic prawns are heavenly
