    Great buzz and superb tapas. We had a table for 4 and were well looked after from the outs set. The sardines on tomatoes and sourdough was delicious and the aubergines with honey and cheese super also. Well worth the visit.

    Have enjoyed eating here on a few occasions when attending London Palladium. The food is always of a high standard, although on this occasion I did think the tortilla was on the dry side. The happy hour drink options are well priced, staff very pleasant and overall I enjoyed my visit. Will definitely return.
