    We ordered 8 different tapas to share between two of us: baby squid, squid peaces (like calamari), octopus, beef cheeks, pork belly, king prawn, duck and chorizo. Octopus was a disappointment as potato mash was dominant taste and thinly cut octopus was not representative in the dish. Duck dish was not rich enough. The best out of the ones we tried were chorizo, beef cheeks and calamari. Good wine choice. Great service from the lady with tatoo-ed arms.

    The food was nice but pretty average, the place is very cozy and at a great location. We didn’t seem to have the best of luck with our server as we ordered drinks that never came but they then tried to charge us for.

    The portion size was, perhaps, a little meagre and an indication of how many portions came in the dish would be appreciated. We would come back
