| The food is as good as it is in any pub anywhere, anytime - Roast Guinea Fowl, arroz negro, ham hock and some beautiful vegetable soups. A shame, therefore, about the snooty service and Francoesque attitude towards anybody who dares to have a good time. It's a pub, not a restaurant and a big dose of relaxed attitudes would not go amiss. Good food and drink still gets it 7 stars though. BoehmBawerk - 21 Dec 2007 12:18 |
| First place I ate in when I moved to clerkenwell 2 years ago and its still a treat every time I go back. Front of house kitchen makes for a great atmosphere. The menu is id say mostly spanish (seems to change daily) and is all basic fare cooked superbly. Hearty portions and non pretentious. Rustic would be a good all round description of the place. not sure at all about the comments; 'smug people', 'overated' and 'rude staff'. I think the staff are all completely on the ball and never stand still. A friendly mixed bunch! The croud is always varied and im not sure at all why 'overated'. Its good for a quiet pint (good range of drinks) and if its vibrant spanish hustle n bustle ur after then its perfect. superyoungisland - 24 Mar 2007 18:47 |
| Over rated and full of smug but boring people. Good beers. Food is good but too fussy and way too pricey. Perhaps a victim of its own success. anonymous - 30 Dec 2005 13:34 |
| this place is completely overrated and I can't believe there are so many good reviews. I live nearby so have been quite a few times out of sheer convenience. But the service has been so bad every time and the staff so rude that I can't bring myself to go again. The food is really overpriced and the kitchen lacking in basic hygiene. I think they've just become complacent and must just be riding on their previous good reputation. aza - 26 Nov 2005 23:03 |
| Good stuff. Especially for a long Sunday afternoon with an extra big newspaper - lunch, drinks, then coffee. Because of the very decent food it gets very busy during the week and at the weekend. The chairs are so rickety that I fear serious personal injury every time I sit down on them. gingerweasel - 26 Oct 2005 17:28 |
