The atmosphere is nice, but the food is very very average. The Bangkok noodles and octopus were overcharred, such that none of the other flavor notes came through almost at all. An extra star for gluten free consciousness. But it was a two star experience in terms of the culinary side. And very pricey for tapas. If you end up here with a group of friends, it won’t be the worst thing, but don’t waste a date night.

Negligent with allergies!!! I explained I have gluten and dairy allergies which was written on the ticket and the person preparing the food was handling bread and immediately touched my food without changing gloves. If I hadnt looked up as it happened I would have gotten severely ill. I pointed it out and explained again that it's a severe allergy and would need them to change gloves and they still tried to give me the same bowl. Definitely not safe for people with actual allergies!!!

They do have gf bagels but they’re frozen and need to be toasted. However they don’t have a dedicated toaster for said bagels.
