Rafina Tapas - Feock United Kingdom

This place is one of our favourite tapas joints is one of our hotspots for a working lunch!<br/ <br/ The staff here are super friendly, food delicious white sangria to die for!<br/ <br/ Our favourite are the Lamb Ribs – so tender, juicy and sauce so Moorish!<br/ <br/ Did we mention the white sangria? So. Delicious.

I've always liked the food here that caters well for those loving to share dishes. The Monday special of Seafood Paella sounded pretty good for $20. First they serve up a charcuterie board of jamon serano, Spanish salami, olives and pan con tomato. Love the big olives they use. Cured meats were nice. Wash downed with an Estrella Spanish beer on tap that's included in the price, or a glass of wine if you prefer. Seafood paella comes with chorizo, saffron rice, black mussel, prawn, calamari. Nice deveined prawns and a tasty rice underneath which is more a dry style than wet. The seafood seems to be added to the rice base rather than being cooked with it. A squeeze of lemon goes a long way with bring the dish together on the palate. Service was friendly and efficient.

I specifically made an account so I could leave a review after having had dinner here- the food was delicious! I took my partner there for our anniversary and we went a bit overboard, had scallops, zucchini flowers, jamon toastie, croquettas, cauliflower salad and ribs between us. All were amazing, really rich but balanced and delicious. Big standouts were the ribs, with a sweet caramelised marinade, and the comforting cauliflower salad, followed closely by the scallops. My partner ordered waffles for dessert which had a great caramel sauce, too. For drinks, they had one of my favourite beers available (Lord Nelson Three Sheets , a great wine list (bit out of my price range! and sangria. I've ordered jugs of random sangria, but here they make each one almost like a cocktail. My favourite was the Real-based sangria which was nice and strong, without being too sweet.Staff were attentive without being in your face, which is a great accomplishment for a small space : they were friendly and accommodating, and didn't turn their noses up because we are students (I was concerned that, given the location, we'd be a bit out of place and may be judged .Lovely spot, I'd love to go again!

Absolutely worth every dime that you spend here! Quite enjoyed the little selection of crostinis to start as they were just a nice and refreshing mouthful but I think the bread was a little soggy. Really loved the scallops, they were cooked to perfection with a nice pan sear on the outside but a springy centre. Major fan of the beef cheeks and the lamb ribs as they were both soft and falling off the bone, really great cuts of meat with just the right amount of fat. Both dishes were juicy, succulent and coated with a nice sticky gravy. Also tried the prawn salad which I thought was a little heavy on the dressing. The braised octopus was also not a crowd pleaser as it was a little rubbery and lacked depth of flavour.<br/ <br/ Waitstaff could do a better job though, it was very hard to get their attention even though they were right in front of you and I had a small disagreement while paying my bill which I thought could be handled a bit more curteously. <br/ <br/ A bit more consistency would probably be good but overall not a bad experience given the moderate pricetag.

Very cosy bar with a interesting menu of Mediterranean fusion. We had the cauliflower salad, beef cheeks and tuna. We'd go back just for the salad. The beef cheeks are tender but very sweet. Tuna was probably the least favourite.
