Our part of 4 had a great time at Exchequer last night. There was a great buzz in the restaurant, which was full, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. A decent wine list with very good wine by the glass options, and overall, it was good value for money. The food was generally very tasty, with decent portions, and we shared 8 dishes plus a dessert each amongst 4 people. The only mediocre dish was the Potatas Bravas, which I felt was unimaginative and rather bland. It's my first visit, but I'd definitely go back again
