We had a reservation on Saturday at 8 PM. (15.11.2025) Before ordering, we explicitly informed the staff, multiple times, that our friend has a severe prawn allergy and coeliac disease. The waiter confirmed that this was noted. Despite this, the dish was not prepared safely, and what happened afterward was terrifying. Our friend suffered a severe allergic reaction, became unable to breathe properly, and developed an intense full-body rash. We had to act urgently because the situation escalated within minutes. The fact that this happened after we clearly communicated a life-threatening allergy is beyond unacceptable. What we experienced was not just negligence, it was a complete disregard for basic food safety and customer wellbeing. This could have resulted in a medical emergency or far worse. No person should ever be put in such a dangerous situation due to a restaurant’s failure to follow essential allergy protocols. This was one of the most distressing and frightening dining experiences we have ever had. This incident will be formally reported to the relevant authorities. Shameful!!

Intersting place where you can go for drinks, mexican food or just for a party. We visited it by accident and it was a good surprise for us. Highly recommend the draft beer.

Went with a colleague and shared wonderful dishes between us as tapas. Pretty full for a Tuesday night too which made the place feel alive and vibrant. Subdued lighting too to make the place feel initimate and personal. Ordered wayyy too much food in the end but all of it was excellcent quality.
