Ship street has definitely got wind in her sails, and this little side street has sprung from obscurity to being the hippiest side of Wan Chai, what with the Pawn and J Senses on the corner, boutique cookie shop on the other side, and Thai, Korean, Western, Cantonese, Japanese, and of course, a Spanish joint to round off the list of who's who in the 'hood.It's by no means a big restaurant, with a cooking island in the middle which seats about six guests on each of the three sides facing out.

It's by no means a big restaurant, with a cooking island in the middle which seats about six guests on each of the three sides facing out. Another bench faces out towards the street giving it a semi-al fresco feel, seating another six, and on the other side there's a low table (tall people are not recommended here) that houses another six. A small standing bar top completes the layout. Initially we were put on the far side low table, and unfortunately the space was too narrow for people to move through to the toilet/kitchen, and I must have been knocked on the back 10 times during the 15 minutes I was there. Thankfully they moved us over to the side facing the street which was brighter, airier, and much nicer.
The food, simply put, is spot on, impeccable and undeniably awesome. Everything came in portions big enough for 2-3 to share, which meant we were able to order 10 dishes between us and savour a bit of everything without feeling gluttonous. The burger originally came with two mini ones, but the waiter kindly gave us an extra one so nobody was left out. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:
For dessert we went for the PBJ and the crispy lemon meringue with cucumber sorbet. I prefer the latter as the interplay of flavours and textures was a wonderful palatal experience.The service was friendly though somewhat misplaced at times. My repeated calls for a sangria went unnoticed, they took away the condiments of my burger before I even touched my burger, and there was a general feeling of having to fight for the food before they were whisked away. It's hard to enjoy when you're constantly worried that your unfinished dish may be confiscated by the staff when you look the other way.
Note the "No service charge, no reservations" should also include "no seating unless everyone is present". Hence my 30 minute wait for my 2 girl friends to show up. The restaurant was packed by 7:30pm but surprisingly there were empty seats by 9pm. I guess people come here for a drink, some tapas, and move on to other places in the area.
