This was my first visit to this restaurant although I have walked past on many occassions. Always busy but we booked a table for 5pm. Loved the idea of tapas style dining but with mostly British food. Food was delicious and the service couldn't be faulted. Very reasonable prices for what we had.

What a wonderful meal we had last Friday. We've always loved it but for the older members of the family, it was the first visit and to say they were impressed would be an understatement! Top place in Glasgow without a doubt!
