    Great experience all round, we arrived an hour early (my fault!) but was received and seated without issue. The maître d' sat us on a nice outside table overlooking St Katherine Docks and we went on to enjoy some lovely tapas and very nice wines! I would have literally tried everything on the menu, the presentation and taste were all top notch - highly recommended

    Food was great but they seem severely understaffed. There were other people, like us, who had to go up to the bar to order because the servers were so busy. For example, we simply wanted some tap water and even after asking 3 times, I had to go up to the bar to get it since the servers forgot. The food was good and the prices are fine as well. Just need more servers.

    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.
