😠 Dodgy operation, avoid at all costs. We had an early Christmas here on a Saturday afternoon from 2-6pm on the rooftop, paying for a 4-hours drink package including food as advertised. Customer Service was fine leading up to the event and the bartender was great who was assigned to the rooftop area...

👍👍 Churros and cocktails to end our evening in Seaford. My Negroni was spot on, and the Churros were wickedly good.

👍 Great place for lunch or a late breakfast when visiting the Queen Victoria Markets. Service can be a bit hit and miss, but just go with the flow, and you can picture yourself at a cafe in Madrid. The food is top notch and very authentic. Love the sandwiches and the tapa they offer. Order a nice glas...
