Fabulous tapas restaurant on the south bank. Amazing food and drinks, great service and great view of the river. Love it here! Shame toilets are mixed gender and not overly clean.

Food is good, but some dishes definitely overpriced. A paella for 2, with 2 prawns.. It's London, Southbank, but seriously? Let's not even talk about the juice you called Sangria. Don't get me wrong.. I would pay the price I paid, but more fish in the paella and proper sangria. The croquetas and the mussels were good and fair for the price.
