    We were very disappointed with the food. The beatroot dish was bland, shrimps didnt feel fresh and the mackrel was too greasy and too much vinegar. The staff was nice and the place had a good atmosphere, but the food didnt do it for us.

    Food and service were amazing. Being seated at a counter was neither ideal nor comfortable. If I was aware of that I'd chosen another place.

    we booked for noon and arrived 10 mins early, to be told to wait outside (in December). from there the host seemed flustered, once sat though the chef at the bar area was exemplary, food delicious. we didn't drink alcohol so can't comment on that.

    Excellent food shame they don’t do any non alcoholic wine as I was on antibiotics and couldn’t enjoy a glass of red wine. Will have to go back again as food was amazing

    Lovely bar overlooking the chefs or interior dining space - refined decor, clean and cool. Great view over the canal. Everything was good - the beetroot ajo blanco, arroz negro (delicious +++), prawn and piccante tortilla, crusty aubergine with honey- nice glass of Tempranillo, still and sparkling water in the house. Great service. Definitely a spot to look up if you’re in the Kings Cross area

    Not as interesting as I had hoped. The beef was good and I wanted vegetables! Nice view, quiet, good sherry. But disappointing.

    Absolutely delicious! The tortilla and crispy aubergines were the star of the show, but everything was great. Quite expensive but value for money if you have a discount

    A cozy environment in particular with the waitress Isabelle to explain the menu and that help me to choose the right food for us. I had the best cheesecake in the restaurant and the only one option draft beer was really good. Definitely l will visit again for the very delicious cheesecake and the beer and also to see Isabelle again.

    Food has really gone down hill. Not as fresh, propped up by salt. Really not what it once was.

    Spenny, so the Fork deals v good. Delish and filling Tortilla, generous portion of squid, £16 for tomato salad with two flakes of tuna on top was an outrage tbh, but was nice. Squashed at the bar between people but didn't really let that affect us - would probably bother some people.

    Perfect venue for a light lunch. Friendly service. We chose the traditional tortilla, butter bean salad and the crab croquetas followed by tarta de queso. All very good. Would have been a little pricey without the fork 30% discount.
