    Excellent restaurant for tapas and port. Intimate atmosphere but very noisy when we were there. Great choice of food. Excellent cheeseboard and port flights.

    - the Service was really fast but she asked me every 5 minutes if I want to order something else which was a little bit stressful - the food was good even if the portions were small - the price for London was ok - the location is nice

    Attentive service by the lovely Irish waitress who served us. Very knowledgeable about the menu and carefully helped my friend select options that did not trigger their allergies (even double checking with the chef for reassurance) We enjoyed a tasty selection of tapas, Vinho Verdi wine and 2017 Churchill Port to finish in a beautiful candle-lit setting with a wonderful music playlist.

    Booked in advance ,no problem on arrival . Very nice ambiance. Very difficult to order as the waiters English was not great . We ordered by using a pen to mark on the menu what we wanted! Avoid the Torrenzo de Pancetta £6.95, as this was just a small plate of tiny crumbs! Imagine a packet of Pork Crackling smashed up! The other 6 dishes arrived without any explanation of each dish ,just dumped in front of us. They were adequate at best. Waiters had no interaction with us regarding, if every thing was ok. Do you want another wine ?etc. And ,obviously services charge was added to the bill, for what ? If I personally was paying the bill I certainly would have taken it off. On leaving not even a thankyou or goodbye. As this is very close to 2 Theatres, I personally felt that pre theatre dining here they take advantage of that. Be wary of that. Quite expensive for what you get. Just don’t be afraid to complain AT THE TIME ,as we should have done.
