"Beautiful food, best we have had in Spain!!!! The Iberian Paella was out of this world, veggie pizza was also beautiful. The best of all was our love waitress, we didn't get her name but her warmth and patience with our (sadly) lack of Spanish, did not go amiss!! I cannot stress enough, this restaurant could easily be missed driving by, but it is an absolute must if in the area."
