Attentive service by the lovely Irish waitress who served us. Very knowledgeable about the menu and carefully helped my friend select options that did not trigger their allergies (even double checking with the chef for reassurance) We enjoyed a tasty selection of tapas, Vinho Verdi wine and 2017 Churchill Port to finish in a beautiful candle-lit setting with a wonderful music playlist.

Absolutely loved the food. The service was also excellent, and super attentive. The only negative was we had the big round table very close to the opening and the noise from the Atrium is quite loud and so we had to shout to hear each other. But otherwise fab restaurant - the food was delicious.
