    This is the second time we have eaten here, and we were happy to return. The food was delicious and there was a good range to choose from. Plenty of wines and cocktails or port if you prefer. Good value, laid back and welcoming. Happy to come back again.

    A great find for a pre-theatre diner. Genuine tapas, timely and pleasant service, not hard to pay.
