Join the cool kids and head to st. Elmo for a a tempranillo and tapas. Reasonably priced, warm service intersting food and a buzzy vibe. We were happy watching the action from the bar, but I'd suggest booking ahead to get a table.

The range of tapas dishes is great. They include a good selection of really tasty dishes that suit people (like us) that don' t like too much spice but are still strong on taste. The staff are helpful and the wine selection is excellent. We come here a couple of times each holiday.

We found this place about 18 months ago and keep going back each time we are in town for the evening or weekend. Wait staff are always great and have good suggestions on specials and wine if not sure, . Menu changes regularly and chef uses local produce where they can. Wine is a little over priced (compared to Spain... More

Went there in May 2013. We had some choices from the menu and they were all great but very small in size. The wait staff was also friendly. Actually everything was fine really, would it not have been overpriced. But this is Australia for you. Remaining question is, will they ever get real on this big island? I mean this... More

We love this place! The tapas menu was varied with lots of options for all different tastes. We have eaten at many different tapas restaurants and this was one of the best! They also had a great selection of Spanish wines. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the best part was that even though it was really busy... More

I really wish I could write that the overall was a 5 as upon entering we were looked after fantastically by both... More

Cocktails to start are yum and great Tapas to follow. We had some specials and some regular popular dishes. I saw some reviews for here that talk about it being expensive and small serves. Guess what tapas stands for? Small dishes or snacks so if you go to a Tapas bar that's what you will get. Chicken parmas are at... More

we were so impressed with the quality of the food that we went twice in one week. Spanish tapas using fresh local products, friendly service and a nice bar with some good wines. Great for a quick cocktail or dinner. This resturant's food could stand up in Sydney or Melbourne. I would recommend getting there early if you don't have... More
