The food was amazing and the team was on it. Great atmosphere too. It just feels quite cheeky to sell the set menu at 50%off (at now £25) when in fact one saves a few pounds only. If someone tells me I’m getting a set menu that usually costs £50, I expect £50… and not two dishes and a cocktail that would cost me £30 if I had ordered the dishes separately. Very misleading marketing.

I didn’t know that the menu had changed, as the food, portion sizes and the experience used to be good. However, the new tapas menu is disappointing — overpriced for the tiny portions. Nearly £15 for just 3 dry small prawns? That's outrageous. The jerk chicken with rice was no better, a toddler-sized portion for £11? Our group of four all left disappointed. When the people sitting next to us saw our portion size, they left too. Eating out in London has become an extreme sport. You will spend loads and still leave hungry. This used to be a favorite spot to catch up with friends, but sadly, we won’t be returning. What a shame! NB: The staff and service was good. So 5 stars to them.
