    Really great tapas. Good house red wine. Excellent white port sangria. Room a bit too dark for my preference but does add to a general sense of authenticity and ambience. Bathrooms were spotless. Service welcoming and friendly. Value is reflective of location; it's not cheap but nor would I say its poor value. Gladly recommend for a pre-theatre meal.

    Everything was really good as great gluten free offering.Unfortu lately the bread which was supposed to be gluten free was not due to a communication issue in kitchen.My wife is coeliac and only offered an apology which is really not good enough as she cannot eat gluten.Not even reduction in price offered and did not seem bothered about issue

    We have been to the Port House in Dublin and the Strand London. This was a lovely experience, the restaurant ambience is excellent and calming and the food was very good all round - high recommend if you love tapas

    Lovely find. Booked based on all the excellent reviews and didn't disappoint at all. Great food, reasonably priced with a great ambience. Very rare to go to a place that you can equally see yourself in for both a dinner for a occasion or a light lunch. Would highly recommend

    I have visited this restaurant many times and always been able to rate it highly. The welcome, food and drinks were of the normal high standard. When the bill was presented, it had two Coca Colas added, in spite of us drinking aperitifs and a bottle of wine during our meal. This was pointed out to the staff member who made no apology at any time, and spent some time making the amendment to our bill. We had spent over £100 anyway, and I think this restaurant ought to be better than to make extra charges for drinks that were not taken (and would never be in this case) and make no apology at all. Very poor performance tonight and definitely not worthy of our many past experiences.

    The staff were super helpful and accommodated our request for an earlier dinner when our travel plans had us arriving earlier than expected. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was charming!
