Just had lunch there and was very impressed with both the food and the service.Won't go into details about the decor, table mat menus, etc. as many have already commented on these. We had 2 glasses of white wine, which were nice and cool but not freezing or worse, warm (not hard to do but why don't more places get it right?).We started with the marinated white anchovies and a Russian stylie potato salad (yes at a tapas bar!).

We started with the marinated white anchovies and a Russian stylie potato salad (yes at a tapas bar!). Both were the right portions to share and had great flavors. The white anchovies were buttery and the creaminess was offset nicely against the lemon juice and oil.
We also had a tortilla with paprika and aioli which was crispy on the outside and soft and luscious on the inside. The potatoes were chunky as well which gave it nice texture. We tried the 24 month old jamon which had wonderful flavour, a great balance of saltiness and fatty/waxiness in the ham. The chef also gave us a couple of pieces of the 36 month old jamon to try for free, which was even nicer, lovely melt in then mouth textures and a smoother flavour. Will definitely be having a plate of this next time.
We also ordered the grilled octopus - more tender octopus, I've never had. The paprika gave it a hint of warmth and the capers were a nice touch but was almost flavour overload (hey but who's complaining?!).
Finished with a cream catalan, nice without being amazing but not a bad word to say about it. All in all, a most satisfying meal. Probably not the cheapest place around but you can't fault the quality of the food or the service.
Highly recommended. We will be back for sure.
