Karissa's Qype profile

I had to write a review for this place to warn people – if you are considering eating here, don’t do it.
I went for lunch a few days ago with a colleague and both of us were so disappointed- the food is so bad that not even the friendly service can save it.
We ordered a selection of tapas and I really I’m not fussy about food, but there was something unappetizing about each one- the chicken in garlic and white wine was in fact 2 chicken wings with no meat on them and the 3rd bit was a shade of grey with soft white skin (!), the potatoes were soggy with oil and cold, the salad (which cost nearly £5) was just iceberg lettuce with shredded carrots and the meat balls looked and tasted like they came from a tin.
And top it off we had to hand over £32 (we didn’t even drink anything alcoholic!) for the pleasure of finding out ‘never again’.
There are so many great restaurants just round the corner in the city; this really is not one of them.
