   A cosy and atmospheric Tapas bar in theatre land. Tiny restaurant with candlelit wooden tables, lovely atmosphere. A warm welcome and very friendly service made the lunch an enjoyable and relaxing affair. Huge selction of traditional tapas on the menu,, very well priced; we enjoyed sampling new ones. Recommend the spinach with goats cheese. Will definitely eat here again.

   Really good value and wise choice of tapas. A couple of the dishes arrived pretty cold but we were in good company so didn’t say anything. Lovely red Spanish Pinot Noir, I would recommend as a lovely ambience and fairly quick and fun dinner environment

   Been to this Tapas bar several times both in Ireland & London. But this time will be the last. We were shown to our pre booked table, had to catch the eye of the waitress who seemed surprised that we wanted to order a drink ! Waited again until we caught the eye of the waitress again to order food - bearing in mind we were a 3 & other tables were 2's so not rushed off their feet at 6.30 pm - food was slammed down on the table - no explanation of dishes - the courgette salad was disgusting- tasted of washing up liquid ! We luckly knew that the dishes would come in stages from past visits but no explanation given to this effect. No one checked if everything was OK- basic customer service training. No upselling- desserts/ drinks etc. So after spending £ 130 on a very basic meal - will not revisit or recommend as would be embarrassed - if this was the dining experience......but that's the attitude sadly of London- bums on seats - get them in & out. Not interested in return business or customer service . But the word of mouth still has power for recommendations

   We ordered 8 different tapas to share between two of us: baby squid, squid peaces (like calamari), octopus, beef cheeks, pork belly, king prawn, duck and chorizo. Octopus was a disappointment as potato mash was dominant taste and thinly cut octopus was not representative in the dish. Duck dish was not rich enough. The best out of the ones we tried were chorizo, beef cheeks and calamari. Good wine choice. Great service from the lady with tatoo-ed arms.

   The food was nice but pretty average, the place is very cozy and at a great location. We didn’t seem to have the best of luck with our server as we ordered drinks that never came but they then tried to charge us for.

    Really dark restaurant which was odd in daytime and felt bit squashed at the table. But lovely food and great service. Was busy so clearly a popular place. I’d return definitely
