This was a delightful evening spent with my daughter. The space is superb from the bar into the restaurant through into the far corner where we were invited to sit after I asked for the quietest spot they could offer. The service was charming and attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious, really good tapas, among the best I have had in London. The wine list was very interesting and well thought through from sherries to beers. Overall we had a lovely time. I would definitely go again.
