Staff were professional, approachable and knowledgeable. The food was overall great, but the waguy beef with chimichurri was a bit on the tough side. It could have done with being sliced a bit thinner. Also, as a Spaniard, I do believe bread should be provided to the table as a staple, especially at this higher-market price tag.

Good as ever. Tasty tapas plus a shared main were great for a light lunch. Well spaced tables and a quiet corner allowed for good conversation. Attentive staff
