Absolutely fantastic place to chill and have a super relaxed but delicious meal. Staff really fabulous and the mixologist both really great at advice and explanation of the cocktails but can also make them seriously well with the right balance - try the raspberry margherita or skip dessert and have the salted caramel espresso martini! Food is stunning and even with a mix of diets we could choose plenty of veggie and meat dishes. As mentioned by others the lamb is incredible. You can tell chefs enjoy working there when you have a quick chat and they're so smiley and happy + great place and great evening out!

Excellent service, food, and cocktails. Cosy atmosphere making an all round great experience.Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate my seafood allergy, along with normal fare for the other three members of my family.

Amazing service, the food is outstanding. Couldn’t recommend it more, can’t wait to come back and reasonably priced. Hannah is the best hostess she loves where she works and recommends the best dishes

Some of the best food and drink we’ve ever had! You’d pay 10X as much in London for food which isn’t as good quality.

The food, service and drinks were fantastic. Always feel welcome by the waiting staff, they work so hard to make sure customers have a wonderful experience..
Walking into a small personal environment with stylish decor. We got a very warm welcome from Chole who also took the time to talk us through the menu.For a small tapas bar this place serves some phenomenal food. The flavours and presentation are top draw. We were lucky enough to meet the chef behind the dishes and he took the time to talk us through the ingredients, very knowledgeable and polite, thank you Jordan.All these small touches added up to a very enjoyable experience. We'll be visiting again, for sure!

The chefs table private dining is fabulous. A cozy space, perfect for fun evening with friends. The food is amazing with cocktails to match. Each dish was spectacular. Delicious, interesting and beautifully presented. The team are friendly and the chef is awesome. I thoroughly recommend the private space downstairs for a great evening with friends and family.

Excellent quality food, well-made cocktails, very friendly and prompt service. One of the best meals we’ve had in a while and good value for the quality. Stands out in the Ventnor area. Look forward to going again.
