The Spanish fly is our go - to place in Randwick if we want an evening with great food, excellent service and perfect atmosphere. It is warm and inviting and manages to feel homely, a bit European, and all without feeling pretentious. LOVE THIS PLACE ❤️

Food was good and came out in a timely manner. The wait staff were excellent. It can get pretty busy and loud if you're dining inside. I would definitely go back there.

Friendly staff and good food and service. Enjoyed the yummy baba ghanoush, gnocchi that was on special, beef cheek empanadas and calamari. We will re-visit if not for nosiness.

This place never disappoints. The pork croquettes and steak skewers are a triumph. We love to take visitors there when they're in town and we're always looked after really well.

The restaurant has a great ambience - really liked it. Slight drawback: it is rather noisy. The food was generally quite good. Just be prepared for small portions, i.e. factor in the expense to leave full.

Everything was delicious. Loved the sangria recommended by our waiter. They accommodated larger portions of everything so we all got a taste of each dish. A great evening.

Found it a little expensive for tapas size. However all 4 that we tried were really very tasty. Good little local eatery

Arrived on time, got the table and settled down. No one came over to check on us till 15 minutes later. We ordered drinks to start and we ordered 2 dishes to start. Food arrived and drinks still not on the table until we finished the first 2 plates, bar kept saying sorry. We then continued to order food and drinks. But the food came but drinks have to ask the waiter again and again. Final 2 dish we order seems disappear and one of the waiter came over saying they forgot but can be ready in 10 min. Again kept chased for a few times before they are on the table. Food was really good and delicious, sizewise acceptable. Will go again if we are not in a hurry.

This is my second visit in a month (have been here a few times in the past too) and just love the food and service. There were three of us and we ordered five dishes (octopus, haloumi, potatoes, John Dory and garlic mushrooms) which were all tasty and enough for our needs. Great bottle of Pinot Noir too. Lovely night out and highly recommended.

The ambiance of this restaurant is really nice & the food was delicious..a little overpriced for what you get but that’s ok. The only problem we had was that we ordered cocktails which we thought we’d sit and enjoy before our food came out. Turns out they only had one bartender that night trying to make all the cocktails &our food arrived before our cocktails so we were eating without even having a drink. They did however give us a glass of wine on the house as compensation for the long wait which was nice. But our cocktails didn’t come for a good 40 mins after we’d ordered them. It would have been nice to know that the wait was long & we could have enjoyed a wine before dinner instead of just a glass of water.

This is a good tapas restaurant, with many good small dishes. It has a pleasant atmosphere and good understated service, making it a good choice for a good night out with friends.

The wait staff were really helpful, I couldn't eat garlic and onion so they gave me a list of sone dishes I could eat but also ones they could modify for me. Then the kitchen cooked a great modified dish, very happy!

Was a lovely experience . Staff apologised for long wait times re service - they were down 2 staff members for that shift . It was good to know that was an issue & we could see how hard the staff were working to keep patrons happy . Food was great , staff recommendations were appreciated & we had a really enjoyable night out .
