Very good service. We sat outdoors by the pedestrianized street off Kensington High Street. It was very pleasant. The food was quite good, and the wine list included reasonably priced, but good-quality selections.

Lovely restaurant, lovely food and great service, but the music is far too loud - it’s hard to hear to speak with the people you are having dinner with. It’s not background music.

The menu is creative, however it lacks flavour. We had the duck salad. The nuts over powered the dish and the duck was dry. The bravas potatoes were ROCK hard. The sirloin with chim was to heavily seasoned every bite was met with huge salt crystals. We had Prawns to start they were under seasoned. The Padron peppers were amazing soooo tasty! I highly recommend; they also gave us a complimentary soup to start it was scrumptious. Sooo yummy. I’ve never had a soup like that before. PACKED full of flavour !

Was able to book this restaurant for 30 mins after I was scrolling. Perfect time to walk there and they were expecting us. The whole restaurant was busy and vibing at 9:30/10:30 on a Wednesday. The food and cocktails were excellent. We had 8 dishes between 3 which was probably a bit too much. They’re quite large for tapas portions. Would most recommend the octopus and Iberian pork

I had a birthday last night and the servicing was an absolutely mess. we were 8 and they kept bringing us the wrong orders plus my sister got the wrong order because they waiter didn't even know the names of the tapas, we also miss some tapas, my other friend found a piece of rubber band on her guacamole and also at the end they charged the wrong amount to one of my other friends. Overall not a great experience. The only positive side is that they give us the dessert and drinks on them but honestly it was not worth it at all.

Nice restaurant. I did find two or three plates a tad too salty but very good otherwise. The Mocktails were amazing so I can only assume their Cocktails are also great. I would return.

First of all I want to thank some of the waitresses who understood my concern with the issue of the elastic band in my food. It was taken off the bill and I appreciate that. The food itself was nice however there were multiple times we had to ask for the food we ordered. What made the experience mellow for me was the manager insinuating that I placed the band there because it was “dry”. All I will say about that is you can look at the cctv and see for yourself. My intention wasn’t to be a bother but out of concern for myself and others in the restaurant who ordered the same thing. Overall I want to thank some of the staff for being kind and continuing the service with smiles. It made a difference and I appreciate you!
