What people say

"Really fantastic tapas. Seafood is the specialty. Recommend the scallops and the seafood rice (a mini paella). Approach is classic Spanish--not over-spiced or heavily sauced, just excellent ingredients cooked simply and beautifully. The bustling space and quirky decor feels more like Barcelona or Seville than it does like North London. Friendly staff and great vibes all around!"
