One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow. I love that it's all small plates... So many dishes to try and so many flavours. Very reasonably priced too. I often skip desserts but here they are a must have. My favourite is the raspberry millefeuille with olive oil mascarpone. It looked like a work of art and it tasted amazing! I hope to be back again soon!

Visited Glasgow for the weekend, chose this place from the great Trip Advisor reviews and as it also looked like the sort of place we normally go to eat; simple with good food. We weren't disappointed! Place was packed and with a great atmosphere, and the service was lovely. Loved seeing the chefs cooking away right there in the restaurant space. We went a bit over board as there was so many tasty things to order! A bottle of wine, 6 menu items (they recommend 2-3 each) and then another dish again later on as we loved the crab & crayfish so much! Then 2 puddings and a sorbet cocktail. Absolutely delicious. Price was fantastic as well at £87, for all that! Honestly one of the best places I've eaten at. Yum!

Visited multiple times and enjoyed the experience every time. I highly recommend eating here. Top quality food with a warm welcome, attentive service and delicious choices for all. Particularly impressed by the menu which allows customers to choose gluten free/dairy free options.

Went here for a celebration lunch, and from first entering the restaurant to leaving a couple of hours later, I couldn't find fault. Waiters were attentive and helpful, the tapas style eating suited the size of our group (6 people), and the food was stunning. Serving sizes were pretty generous for tapas, and although 2-3 plates per person were recommended I'd only have two if you are not too hungry. Most of our group managed to squeeze in a dessert at the end, and the Eton Mess was the most beautiful "mess" I have ever seen! Highly recommended.

Ten of us went here for a celebration meal post graduation of one of the group. We had a separate room downstairs. The waiter was very friendly and explained the menu concept to us. You can mix and match the plates which made for a lovely meal. The food was fresh and full of flavour. The wine list had lots of wines available by the glass or bottle. We had a great time. I would definitely go again.
