A cosy, busy little tapas restaurant, with a vibrant atmosphere. Service struggled to manage demand in timely manner. Good range of tapas, unfortunately two key ‘warm tapas’ not available at the time of our visit. Chicken tapas, and chickpea & spinach dishes were both original & excellent. Unfortunately whitebait with chips, and calamari were unnecessarily over seasoned with salt. Wine by the glass limited to house wine only; could benefit from a better choice by the glass, carafe or half carafe. Staff receptive to the feedback. This is a place with appeal and worth a visit.
