Really loved my first trip here, and will book it again. We were delayed in getting a seat, but it was a busy friday and the team were very kind and apologetic, and we weren't in a hurry. The food was great, the advice was helpful, everything was quick and pleasant.

Lovely staff who remembered me from the booking. Cozy bar on a relatively quiet Covent Garden street, a rarity. Delicious out of the way tapas - lamb specialities, great charcuterie, good wine. You can hear yourself speak even though it's busy. This is probably my 4th or 5th visit and it's always great.
