I came here for valentine's day & was very impressed with the food. It is very flavourful, playful, & well presented. We got the anchovy toast, the tuna tostada, the half roasted chicken, the patatas bravas, & the churro. The anchovy toast was banging, the tuna tostada was really amazing, patatas bravas... you can't go wrong with them. However, the half roasted chicken I was slightly disappointed with. Given the fact that this chicken was the precursor for the whole restaurant I was surprised it was a bit dry. Flavour-wise it was very yummy, the skin was delicious, but the meat itself felt like it had been stuck in the oven a bit too long. Finally, the churro was GREAT! But.. slow to arrive, more on that below.
Now onto the service. I realize that we went on a relatively busy night, but the food came out unbelievably inconsistently. The servers were very charming, & definitely made me feel better about the wait, but it was just strange. The first two dishes came out super quickly. I'm talking within 10 minutes of us ordering. However, the chicken & patatas bravas probably took another 40 minutes to come. Finally, when we ordered the churros for dessert (which mind you are a quickly deep fried dish) it took another 20 minutes. Luckily, the company was lovely so the wait didn't feel so bad, however, if I was going any other time, or if I wasn't wanting to spend 2 hours there, I would have been quite disappointed.
Finally, the ambiance was very nice. Much more relaxed than their sister restaurant Alma. I think overall a 4/5 is a reasonable rating, & I would definitely go again, but maybe for a quick bite & a nice glass of wine.

Outstanding creative dining experience. Lawrence was the perfect server making super recommendations & ensuring we were happy throughout the evening. We actually started at their sister restaurant but when the server saw my wife didn't look happy with the menu due to personal dietary restrictions she suggested we go next door. She even came to see us to see if we were happy!! Amazing. We had the olives, almonds, dorade & chicken leading up to the churros. In listing the above I'm leaving out details I wish I could replicate but could not so will just have to return.

Great little restaurant. Chicken & octopus were the highlights, octopus is really well cooked & tender. Very good selection of nature wines (not my thing but they still have a good selection :) ). Staff & owners were so nice, we even went with kids & they were really attentive to us. Will go back :)
