Came here with my boyfriend for our anniversary. Miguel welcomed us in like we were his family. He was super attentive and friendly! He gave us two glasses of bubbles to celebrate our anniversary which was a lovely touch. Food was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the tasty jamón,pulpo scallops everything we enjoyed.We were so full but managed to squeeze in desserts! Definitely would recommend and we will be back soon! Thank you !

Nice restaurant, we went for the bottomless sangria brunch. The food is pretty good, very generous portions with three tapas per person, we couldn’t even finish it all. The sangria is not the best I have ever had, but you can drink it quite easily! We also had a bottle of Cava (included in the bottomless) so can’t really complain. Service needs some improvement, generally very slow, which is not really what you want during a 90 minutes brunch; we also had one waiter with a bit of an attitude…so when we found a £33 discretionary service charge it was quite the surprise. We paid anyway as in the end the food was good.

Trendy and upbeat meets family owned and operated at this River front restaurant on the Thames. It is a must go to when visiting London for a modern take on true tapas recipes straight from Spain. The aubergine is a must when visiting here. The staff is attentive and inclusive to all nationalities, treating each table like you are a part of their own family when dining here.

Bit of a mixed experience today. Some highlights but a couple of lows too. Overall though a fairly decent meal. First positives initially had a warm welcome and service was quick and food came quickly too. Jamon croquettes, aubergine, and asparagus where great, patatas brava was average and mussels tasted really good , but some were very gritty. Lows included overcooked cod cheeks , although caper sauce was nice, and chicken thighs a bit dry and just nothing, cooked better myself last weekend. Would probably give it another go as may have been unlucky. Service at times was a bit perfunctory. Desert was glorious, torrija, sorry didn't get a photo of that one , meaning we left on a high.

Beautiful small plates of food, set next to the River Thames. Outdoor seating if the weather is right. Perfect place for a get together to enjoy shared plates for lunch or dinner.
