Very good food, yet small portions for price charged, by usual South African standards. Staff friendly, and explained each 'Tapa' very well. Not a Spanish style tapas bar, however, so European travellers beware, as each comes as a 'course' and with an explanation of flavours and ingredients, rather than the usual tapas experience where all comes to the table at...

Excellent range of tapas (including vegetarian options) with friendly knowledgeable staff. I had lunch with my hubby and we both ordered the lunch special plate (included 5 small tapas), 2 savoury plates and a dessert plate and we were pretty full by the end of it. The lunch special that is currently running includes a glass of wine/beer, a tapas... More

Wide variety of excellent tapas, from meat to vegi, everyone can find something. Great for sharing, artistic plating, but most of all, really really good food for a reasonable price. Attentive and helpful service.

Food, service and ambiance were absolutely impeccable. From the moment we arrived to when we left, our lovely waitress was highly attentive and had a fantastic knowledge of the menu. I would definitely recommend the prosciutto prawns and the beef fillet. Thanks to fellow Trip Advisors for the recommendation, otherwise we would've missed this gem.

We enjoyed the small plates concept. It allowed us to choose several items. Moroccan meatballs were a hit.

Everything we tried here was great. Don't miss the two different raviolos, each with an egg yoke in the center - they were the highlights. Mini kudo filets were also great, and our cocktails and wine were very good. Additionally, the manager was very nice, helpful and professional.

Don't expect anything like tapas from Spain, but the food is quite good. The service was good, and the wine was great. There's more room upstairs than down. Don't really recommend the sweet potato fries, but the daily specials were delicious both times I went.
