The tomatoes were so decadent and the bread so fresh and soft. We also really enjoyed the arancini for something a bit more savory. The tortilla was also great and a bit heavier of a dish for those who are hungrier. The staff seemed a bit uncoordinated but overall friendly. It's a very modern vibe and I loved the open concept kitchen.

The restaurant was a little small but it was cozy and the atmosphere was perfect for a girls or date night. My favorite was the tuna tartar tostada and hummus and pumpkin tostada.

This was probably my favorite restaurant while visiting. My absolute favorite tapa was the tuna tartar tostadas. We also got the lamb, albondigas, and sliders. We didn't leave a crumb! My sister and her husband also ordered the hummus tostadas, roasted cauliflower, and grilled carrots. She's not the biggest tapas fan so I was so glad she enjoyed the food as well. We got a pitcher of red sangria to add to the experience and ended dinner with the Pan de Elote, which was quite the crowd pleaser. The restaurant is definitely in the "it" part of the city, lots of foot traffic and so many things going on around the place. The setup is real cool too. We sat at the bar, which is right in front of the kitchen so you get to watch as the cooks prepare the dishes. The service was real fast too. It is a bit on the pricey side, but if you don't mind splurging a bit, it's definitely worth trying!

The interior is mostly bar and small hightop seating, but it manages to create close and intimate sining areas for 2 very nicely. The food seems authentic. Mostly done tappas-style but much better than in the states. We got the Olives, Oxtail slider, Rice with seafod, Langustines, potatoes, cauliflower and Pluma Iberica. All were very good and the Oxtail, rice/seafood, and pluma Iberica were hauntingly scrumptious. Service was genuine, accommodating, caring and prompt. The best example of that was the timing and staging of dishes so we never got more than 2 at once and could enjoy each before the next plates arrived. Best service I have ever had at a tappas or small plates restaurant! If you are in London, you gotta go!!

I've been trying to talk myself out of a 3-star review because the food is definitely worth more…read more But there were a couple of small things, that together, made this less than exceptional. I was alone so booked a hightop at the bar so I didn't take a table. It was a pre-theater reservation, but had plenty of time so there was no rush. Ordered a cocktail, then a second and a glass of wine with dinner, but they brought the cocktail and wine at the same time. btw, the glass of wine that was supposed to be 175ml was definitely NOT close to that amount. I ordered three plates (it's tapas-style). All the food was amazing, but the pacing was just off. They brought two of the plates right away but the third didn't come until I had finished the first two. But the thing that really left a bad taste in my mouth was getting the check and the waiter trying to bully me into having another drink. I politely said no but he wouldn't give up, saying "c'mon the night is young" and "c'mon you know you want another" etc. Dude, I said no multiple times and I just spent $150 (£110) on a solo dinner, do you really think it's a good idea to try to push me into ordering another drink? The other little complaints wouldn't have even registered with me, and this could easily be 4, and maybe 5 stars. But at these prices, I don't expect to be bullied/shamed when trying to pay my check and makes me think the other problems with pacing and size of the pour might be normal here too.

Our bartender was fabulous and helpful. We tried a variety of ports and they were all great. I loved that I could try so many different kinds which I normally don't get the chance to do.

Odd to have Spanish food in England, but all of our trad British meals were very so-so. I started off with a sangria, my companions with negronis.

These were brought to our table. The cold pinxos had to be taken from the bar. The cauliflower with onions and romesco, piquillo stuffed peppers, minted peas topped with pea shoots, fried olives, and deep fried bacalao balls were all lovely.

Even the location is a bit out of the way, so if you're not already in the area, there's no reason to seek it out. The menu does boast a varied selection of meat, veggie, and fish-centered tapas, but not all of them are always available; even the drinks I was curious about were "out of stock," so I ended up having to go with their cheap wine, which made me wish I'd stuck with water. The food itself - while not bad - left something to be desired. Temperature and flavor-wise, it was all just "meh." The menu itself also lacks originality, so the fact that they were missing a portion of it just adds insult to injury. Perhaps it was because we were there on a Sunday evening looking for a quick dinner, but the service also felt forced and uninterested. And, for some odd reason, my friend and I felt hungrier when we left than when we went in. All-in-all, I found nothing here that made me want to come back.
