Excellent, food and service, would definitely recommend! Restaurant was a bit chilly at 5:30pm (tho' probably warmed up later) which meant the red wine was cooler than I would have liked. Perhaps display one of each choice and keep stock in a warmer place.....

Great food. Very friendly serving staff, although long waits for food. Some items from the menu were not available, but what we did have was delicious.

Love this place, friendly staff, great food and nice chilled ambience. Pork belly and flatbreads were the highlights but it’s all lovely. Will be back soon.

We took advantage of the midweek special so our delicious and filling meal only cost us $14 between the two of us. Love this place.

Really excellent independent restaurant, with very attentive staff, great interesting and unusual Tapas menu, and incredible value for money. Everyone should try it and support people like this who are a million miles better than the boring chains.

Great food, lovely welcome and service. An intimate setting perfect for a quiet moment to treat ourselves. The pork belly was sumptuous, as was the lamb. Highly recommended.

Lovely tapas with a good amount of variety, including vegetarian dishes. The flatbread is amazing, as is the hummus. Portion sizes were quite big so unfortunately we didn't feel up to having dessert afterwards.

Great service. Good food although not the best we’ve eaten there. Would always recommend this as a great tapas restaurant though with a cosy, intimate atmosphere.

As always, great food and service. BUT, the heating system is totally inadequate and we were all cold. They have radiators on the walls but these are blocked by pew like benches so very little heat gets through. Not good! Also, a little Christmas spirit in the way of decorations would have been nice at this time of the year.

Great food and service as per usual, there's a reason a restaurant is full on a Tuesday night. The pork belly is to die for.

Unfortunately my first experience wasn't great . It's a small venue which was very busy. Tables are very close together barely enough room for people to get to their seats. Barely enough room for waiting staff to serve food with one guy who could barely squeeze through the chairs and kept knocking into me. The time taken to serve food was an absolute disgrace myself and others waited between an hour and an hour and half for main dishes and drinks. Customer service was appalling too, one of the dishes was incorrect, we received the correct one half hour after we finished our meal. No apologies or recognition that there was a problem and several tables raised their concerns last night. The food was nothing special. No money off the bill for the inconvenience either. I won't be coming back

Always been our favourite tapas restaurant but waiting two hours for food without any explanation or apology is inexcusable. All it takes is an explanation and maybe the offer of a free drink but we got nothing. Our poor waitress had only just started working there and ended up guiding the other staff who were too busy giving food to the wrong tables. Utter shambles. Being made to feel uncomfortable for being the last people left in the restaurant didn't help either. We'd only just finished the delayed food and were waiting in vain for the bill!

Quality lovely food, the only minor negative is that sometimes the service is a bit slow, however this is nit picking and the only reason its not a 6 out of 5

Really enjoyable, tasty tapas especially the sea bream and the pork belly. Even the flat breads were piping hot and fresh, and the friendly staff made sure our indecisiveness was no problem.

Food was delicious and reasonable in price, wine also didn't have the 'mark up' that a lot of restaurants have. A comfortable place to eat, not 'glossy' but nice atmosphere.

This is my favourite restaurant, which I have been visiting for years. The reason being the food is delicious,the staff are lovely, the place has a fabulous ambience. For a meal for 2, with a bottle of wine you are looking at spending around £50-60. Well worth it!! Highly recommend.

The food was great & so was the service, disappointed with the lack of puddings, we asked for the menu & they only had vanilla ice cream or affogato ( basic ice cream with coffee) Not good enough, I understand it was a Monday & not many people eat out early on the week.

Excellent food and atmosphere. BUT we arrived at 7.45 on a Tuesday evening and had to wait till 8.30 for our food, although the drinks arrived a little (but not a lot) earlier. There was only one waiter and he was very busy. He was very apologetic when he came over to us. He certainly wasnt slacking but could have done with a colleague to help him. I don't know if its always like this as this was our first visit and despite the wait, we would go back again as the food was excellent and very good value.
