   Walked in without a booking (2 people) and were seated outside which was ideal for this time of year (business and Christmas). Lovely staff who took our orders promptly. It was busy and we did have to request a second round of drinks (which were accidentally forgotten about). Our parrillada platter was huge and delicious- however could have been served with streak knives as it was hard to cut the meat with the butter knife. I would have requested different cutlery but the staff didn’t come up to check on our meal. Nice vibe, yummy food and just a few minor things to feedback. Would come again. Can use the entertainment book too which is ideal.

   Spotted Castro’s whilst walking the city centre and as fans of Spanish food thought we would try and very glad that we did. The decor is very Spanish and colourful with the staff welcoming and friendly. We ordered an ensalada verde, rustic breads, pork ribs and chorizo. All were really nice and washed down with a Behemoth ale. Price was good value too. Happily recommend.

   Good sangria, Estrella on tap and they offer beer tasting for $25. We ordered picanha and it was good, comes out in a casting skillet so take notice on how you order it.

   Hadn't eaten here before and was not disappointed. Whatever you do, make sure you get the crema catalana for dessert, it was absolutely unreal. Also, I could drink those spicy margaritas all night. Great service too from Kyle, very attentive and made some good food recommendations. Will be back!!!

   Went here only for paella craving - tbh dont like the tiger prawn as the shell stick to the body - wish it could be replaced by chorizo other than that the flavor is there :)

   We had a late lunch and it was very quiet but still vibrant. Loved the decor and the seats were really comfy. Great staff and the paella was delicious. We didn't have to wait as long as usual as quiet.

   “Nice restaurant with interesting choices and very good helpful service” that was my review a year ago with 4 stars and see the comments of the owner about the missing 5star below. Now 25/3/23 we booked for Nikkei Japanese restaurant which seems that is owned and operated by the same owner of Castro. The booking done by internet all confirmed and sorted. We arrived on time and they informed us that the restaurant is booked for event and somehow the Google bookings didn’t work as they should. Our option was to go to Castro restaurant which at that stage there was anything else to do Saturday night with a child with us already 19:00. They took us to a table and they said their is a complimentary drinks from the manager for the trouble. All good we said yes …..long story short those drinks came 50 minutes after we sit, even after the food which also come in totally mess order, salad as last dish and a waiter that was coming with different dishes and asking us if that’s ours. The crazy about the drinks after they came 50 minutes later they were all WRONG order. And the really frustrating of all they tried to charge us on the bill and when I told them that was from the manager they looked that this is not it and should be only one drink not for both of us. We only had those drinks not a second round. See receipt on the photos although that 2 in front of each drinks is confusing. This is totally disrespectful and disgrace. Restaurants are part of the hospitality industry with main element the SERVICE and that part this restaurant has totally failed! Definitely we not visiting the Nikkei restaurant also after that fiasco.
