    Excellent food. Waiter initially a little surly (he didn’t like it that I asked for a table by the window) but eventually he seemed cheerful enough. Would definitely come back here.

    My favourite is the salmon and croquettes, I also had the short rib which is fantastic, it just needed to be a bit hotter. It's our favourite place to eat in the dock.

    Was one of the best restaurants we had the pleasure of visiting during our London trip. The location is amazing I could see drinking sangria and having tapas on the front patio in summer

    Overall a very poor experience. The staff very not friendly at all. Did not greet us, nor did they enquire on how or what we needed as we dined at our tables. The prices were insanely expensive for the quantity of food that were served. While we expected the portions to be smaller as they were tapas, the prices were not proportional to the portions nor were they reflective of the quality of the ingredients. DO NOT GO HERE if you can avoid that.

    Lovely place with great view on the dock, amazing food and a large selection of wines. I would recommend this place as ambience is cozy and staff absolutely lovely.
