Amazing food! Not one bad thing on the menu. Our server was amazing and was so polite and professional. Ordered for 2 of us - Hamachi Crudo, oysters, and the Octopus to share. Also shared a lobster roll. The server was so nice and offered us a complimentary Cava with our desert. We ordered the sticky toffee pudding. Planning on coming back to try more from the menu!

A lovely pre-opera lunch. Perfect octopus to share with a glass of Spanish rose. An excellent and relatively inexpensive lobster roll with terrific Jose Andres chips for me and a Serrano ham and Manchego cheese sandwich for Mark. In such a beautiful space. Coming again soon.

This was our second time eating here. We typically get a combination of apps and that is plenty. The food is delicious. It can be very crowded and the tables are close together so it can be loud.

Beautiful restaurant with very good food and creative drinks. While the smash burger looks unassuming when placed in front of you the second you pick it up you know it's something special. It has some serious weight to it and it tastes really and I mean really good. My wife had the steak salad and loved it. The sangria was very good as well. Overall a great dinning experience.

It was great! This was my first time there and I hosted clients. Everyone loved the food. The service was great. We had a corner round table so everyone could communicate together.

When we arrived, they told us they just switched up the menu. The only reason we made a reservation was for the menu. We decided to stay because it’s hard to get last-minute reservations, but it took 1.5 hours to get our entrees. People were leaving and complaining all around us. Some of the food was in rough shape. To their credit, they comped our meal. The staff was wonderful, I hope this was just a bad night for them and it improves in a few weeks. Don’t write them off, but read the recent reviews before you give them a try. It’s disappointing to travel to a city and have SO many food options, then pick one that lets you down.
