I love the food here and wish I could there more often. There are no bookings available so to get in you have to be there by 6.00pm. The food is great and so is the service but can be a little snooty at times which I find a bit off putting. It can end up a bit pricey as... More

Fantastic service, we were seated outside, and it started to rain very lightly, our table was literally picked up and put inside and all meals were re cooked. AMAZING.... More

Wow what amazing food! Everything we ordered was delicious, the chorizo was well worth the wait & I'm so pleased we decided to stick around for dessert, the carrot cheesecake was the best dessert I've had in a very long time. Well done guys!! More

Great service, food and wine. Lots of both were had! Carrot Cheesecake is to die for. You will not go wrong with this place. Did not have to wait long for meals even on a busy Friday night. Can't wait to go again and eat more! More

We walked into this place on Valentine's Day without a reservation. The host was very sympathetic and realistic and invited us back the next evening. We took him up on his offer and returned the next evening and he remembered us and we were immediately show to our table. The place is small and a bit cramped, but the staff... More

Wandered over for a quick meal on a rainy night without a reservation. Received a warm welcome, with my umbrella promptly taken care off, a comfortable table and a prompt arrival of a wine list. The place was buzzing with hip crowd sitting at the bar and communal table. The service was friendly, professional and not pushy. The menu offers... More

I love Tapas. I love the concept of sharing meals. Let me tell you, the tapas at this place is good. This is not just your standard tapas restaurant. The restaurant is tiny, with a 50′s vibe and outstanding service. No bookings. Be prepared to wait. But, believe me – it will be worth the wait. I think it's possibly... More

Had a very enjoyable night out here on a recent weekend in Sydney. Great atmosphere, prompt friendly service. Food is quite quirky and generally works OK but borders on trying too hard. For example the kingfish sashimi dish was potentially excellent but the addition of cuttlefish ceviche added little to the dish. Hard to complain too much though, and the... More
