What a treat. Amazing tapas to start including the prawns, scallops, steak, meatballs, and bread, then 3 of us had the steak, one had the veal and the two grandkids, aged 6 and 2 had chicken nuggets and chips, which they loved. And lastly, dessert. I didn't think we would manage the last course but everything was so delicious we couldn't resist, churros, rum baba, and ice cream. All the food was of the highest quality, beautifully cooked, and absolutely delicious. The staff were spot on and on arrival, the chap who worked there, talked us through the menu...and rum selection, a very nice touch.

Honestly!!! I have not had better steak anywhere - London, Singapore, New York, anywhere! What an amazing find on a cold and wet Saturday night as a family with two very hungry teenage boys. Service is first class and you want for nothing and wait no time at all. The selection of rum was extensive to say the least and fairly priced. There is no doubt that they truly value their customers. There is no rush to finish and leave and their consideration for you to have a great time is amplified through everything they do. We can’t wait to go back again - very soon.

Wow!!! What an amazing evening we had. The tapas and steak were just awesome!!! A huge thankyou to the owner and the staff who gave us so much of their time and made our evening. Such a quirky restaurant with fabulous food and not forgetting the Rums!!! We will 100% returning.

Incredible place! Came here for my Dad's birthday - we were looked after so well. Honestly the best steaks we've ever had. Couldn't stop talking about what an amazing restaurant this is. Will be returning soon. Thank you for such a fantastic night!

Not enough stars to rate that wonderful place! The staff - awesome! I love it when the people combine humor with capability, the food was delicious, but also the way it was presented... nailed it! The food was fresh and tasty, well served and we got some really good recommendations about the menu. Not to mention how charming the place is! I'd recommend the place to anyone with taste for food and rum!

Honestly just a great place for a relaxed celebration! The staff are really lovely, clearly passionate about the place and super friendly. The food is delicious and well worth ordering the special menu in advance. And Merton Abbey Mills is just a fantastic area in general, particularly on hot summer nights. Highly recommend.Wheelchair accessibility: So far only accessed outside with the chair but they're generally very accommodating and happy to help!

The best restaurant I've been to, ever! Fantastic food, relaxed atmosphere, and such friendly, helpful staff. Can't to the area as a stop over for the L2B Charity bike ride. Will come again next year.

One of the best lunches I’ve ever had. Beautifully cooked steak with a skillet of melted cheese and freshly baked flat bread. Warm, friendly service in a setting that’s totally unique. Can’t wait to be back for more and to try the rest of their Argentine tapas menu and a rum or three!
We went there because we are locals and boy that was an amazing find. Not only the selection of rums that are insane but the food was to die for. They have by far the best steaks for the price and real fresh seafood. You can taste it no doubt. Make a reservation tho, they get very busy and I have seen they turning people away if they don't have a booking... Luckily I live around the corner;)

I'll be back for sure to try more from the menu!First off all you may need to understand the settings of the area which doesn't allow you to have the toilet in the restaurant where you eat but you need to walk 40m outside to get to it and I would not say it was clean.The pirate atmosphere is great and was nice to discover!If you want to spend well your money on a great quality meat then the pirates have what you need, I don't suggest to pass the medium cooking time of the meat otherwise you risk to go on the over cook. I had also a leg of octopus which was sublime, unfortunately I had to ignore the potatoes where going with it.Rosemary fries top.The staff was really welcoming and you couldn't miss anything, absolutely very nice and patient with children.Great cocktails too.

We booked here for a friend's birthday and we absolutely loved our time here. The service was welcoming and engaging, which was delivered with thoughtful intentions.The food was absolutely delicious, the steak and the clams were definitely our top picks. Drinks were delicious and thoughtfully made.We will definitely be returning as we never knew about this little treasure in the community. 5 star food with a 5 star service. ? ? ? ? ?

Usually I can be quite critical with a review, but I have to say the food in this place is unbelievably exceptional. Everything was bursting with flavor and I can say, hand on heart, I've eaten steak in a restaurant in London that has been reviewed by a global audience and this was nicer.The starter was really tasteful and not only was the presentation spot on, the seasoning was perfect on everything.Hidden gem.
