Really enjoyed the food and drinks here this evening. Friendly service, tasty food and the drinks were made great. We enjoyed the dinner offer, 3 tapas dishes for 19.99, ordered 6 plates and omg we were stuffed! Portions were generous for a tapas restaurant and everything was cooked and tasted so nice! Will be back and would recommend

Went here for my birthday with a friend for lunch. We were the only ones in there which was great as we had the whole place to ourselves. Such warmth and cosy atmosphere and very clean. We sat by the window and we were served by Lin who was very attentive and engaging in conversation. The food was absolutely divine! We had the set menu and shared our food. Definitely would come again and would recommend to everyone!

Great sandwiches and mocktail for lunch while in Rochester. We both had the meatballs and was great to cater for a vegetarian option of meatballs too. Both really tasty with the side of chips! Mocktails were both a great addition for the meal.

Very friendly staff, service impeccable & of course the food was superb. It felt really cosy when we popped in for a late lunch on our day trip from London yesterday. Portion sizes are fantastic for tapas, very tasty as well, we will definitely be back when we visit again as I can’t wait to have the Belly Pork rice bowl again as it was delicious! Thank you for having us!

We didn't reserve a table, we just wandered in on the off chance at about 3pm for a spot of lunch. We were made to feel welcome. The waitress was really helpful with suggesting what to order. The food was lovely, especially recommend the garlic mushrooms, the waitress was so right about those! As we were leaving we heard the owner tell someone they fully booked for the evening so I suggest booking in advance for the evening. Will definitely go back!

Staff were helpful and very knowledgeable, food was tasty and well presented and plentiful, only downside I felt was that a free serving of bread would be good to soak up all of the delicious oils and sauces. Sherry was also excellent. We will certainly visit again.
