   Food was ok but overall experience was let down by the service. With the exception of one waitress who was excellent but very busy sorting out the mistakes of the others. Hardly any non-alcoholic drink options too which was disappointing.

   This restaurant is in an upstairs location looking into Leadenhall Market, so the ambience is excellent particularly if you have one of the window seats. The menu is not particularly big, but all the items on it are authentically Spanish and the ones we tried were very well made and presented. They have the usual tapas options - patatas bravas, calamari, gambas (prawns) etc, plus main courses which you can mix and match with the above (such as Octopus which was suberb). Good wine and beer menu with lots of Spanish options. Would recommend.

   A very nice menu and service was very good. The location is good with views from a couple of floors above the market.

   I’d skip this place. Although some dishes were decent at best, some were pretty bad compared to other tapas places I’ve been to. Service was underwhelming and not engaging even after several attempts to lift the servers mood.

   It was a nice dinner, however the restaurant was empty and the food was mediocre. More fat than meat in the lamb dish and the picaña was ok at best. Nice reminder of the Spanish cuisine but wouldn’t go back.

   Good, nice food and pretty fast service. Other reviews were correct when saying it is quite loud, but otherwise an enjoyable evening

   V tired, looks worn, needs a decent uplift. Food just about ok. Some hot items were cold. Staff pleasant. Used to be a fav of mine but not anymore.
