Excellent food, service ok. The music and vibe were both loud, this was difficult for a party of 3 ladies who would have liked to chat! However the website did state it was noisy. Food was great so made up for it.

There was a buzzing atmosphere, and the service was friendly. The food was ok, but the price did reflect this, so all in all good value. I think if you're going with a crowd, it has a party atmosphere. However, if you're going in a pair, it doesn't lend itself to having a chat as it is loud.

Food was great, the only thing we didn’t like it’s when waitress started to kick us away literally in an empty restaurant saying that she need that table in 10 minutes. From all the tables they have was occupied only 5.

I booked this restaurant for new years eve. The price for the menu was more than ok and we had more food than enough at the end of the dinner. The food was good, spicy enough, sometime not easy to split into two pieces (fish, desert). I just have some regrets about the service. Even though we had nice waiters, they took to many time taking our drink order. Then, the dishes were served too fast: we didn't finished the starter that they send the first courses, then the second... They also cleaned the table at some point, removing some unfinished food and drink. I would have appreciate they asked before doing this. Overall it was good, but we could have spent an even better moment if the service had been better.

We had the pre-theatre menu and the food was freshly cooked and delicious - all the tapas we shared were good. Service was friendly. Great find for eating out in the centre of theatreland.

The food was fine, the service was good. We went there before the theatre so had limited time to eat, and the service was was very prompt. However, they advertise that they do a special deal for pre-theatre, which we had planned to take advantage of. We did not realise that we needed to ask for the special menu when we arrived and assumed that the deal was on the menu we had been given.

Well, what a gem! Great food, great selection of drinks & wine. Brilliant friendly staff and service excellent. Friday night live music was fantastic. Very Spanish. Better than being in Spain! Will definitely recommend & return. Lovely place.
