Food is good but portions are really small and in the end, the bill is expensive. Service is allright but we made a reservation for 3, and even with that, they didn't have enough tables and had to eat in a table made for 2 people...

Wine was really nice. Croquetas and ham are the best, the rest is fine. I am sure you can find another tapas restaurant in London with better price, more quantities and nearly the same food quality.

Disappointing. Saturday night and full - but there did not seem enough staff to cope. The food was ok but not nearly as good as Salt Yard next door and really pricey too. Too many other excellent places nearby to go back here again...

Well, the food is not too bad (though a lot worse than places half the price) and I suppose its central London but really we spent £120 for three people with a bottle of wine and left hungry and feeling very ripped off. We won't be going back. Do not have the jamon: its poor quality and the portion is so small you could inhale it. Overall a very disappointing experience.

Went for a friend's birthday, food was good although not as exciting as Salt Yard next door. Great wine too.

However evening was ruined by shockingly rude service at the end when trying to pay.

Won't recommend for that reason.

Very impressive wine and sherry list. However, service poor, and the price was quite unbelievable for the very little amount of food we had.

Good to try, may pop back for a wine, but left hungry and broke!

ate there last night, there are still a number of small touches they could make to improve the place; food was mixed, generally too oily and often sweet, but we might have caught the place on an off night; atmosphere could also be imporved by turning down the lighting, but they have more authenticity than Salt Yard a few doors away and a great wine list, with a sensible apporach to trying new wines. worth re-visiting, esp to see if the place can learn some lessons from stars like Moro and Cigala.

Good service, impressive wine list - and really good value if you're ordering by the glass. Slightly stingy portions - even considering that this is tapas - but in general, dishes were interesting and well done. The only notable exceptions were octopus which was overly salty and rather disappointing and scallops - which at £4 each weren't anything special and didn't warrant the price tag.
