The person on the other side of the phone was as friendly as a prison cell. Once arrived, service was as sznsed on the phone. Quality and price of the food were ridiculous.. Basically you will pay 1€ per piece. So scampis are at 4€, you get 4(frozen) scampis, chese "platter" is around 4€, here is 3 tiny piece of cheese (slice pf camembert).... Wine gave me a headache.

I agree with another commenter that stated the food is cheap and not good quality at all. The warm chorizo had no flavor or spiciness. The bruschetta with tempenade had a strong fishy flavor. The free bread offered is stale, cheap, flavorless white bread. Other downsides: this is not a clean place. There are splatters of food across the walls and menus. The menu is a laminated piece of paper, two actually. They can't be bothered to consolidate and reprint new menus. It is very dark and the night we visited, VERY loud. There is a three tapa minimum per person- yet another sign the of a cheap place.

We had tapas, the fusion ones, but it was really disappointing. Weird combinations (grilled octopus…read moredrowned in loads of melted cheese!?!), nothing seemed really fresh, overly seasoned. I really didn't like it, won't come here again. The place is not very cosy, except maybe in the back, and staff was not always that friendly.

Possibly the best pasta I've had, possibly better than Italy. The atmosphere, small space, simple and fresh flavors with only one chef cooking your meal 20 feet away from you makes the entire experience the best pasta I've had. The menu is written on a whiteboard and orders taken on post it notes. Simple, old school, traditional, perfection.

I arrived at 7PM on a Friday night with no reservation like a silly american tourist... While they…read morewere fully booked I was able to charm the hostess into squeezing me and my main squeeze into a table for two. Be prepared to be patient! This is not fast food.. and there is one Chef in the kitchen doing absolutely everything.. You will be rewarded in due time. The Buratta Mozzarella was creamy and paired with asparagus dressed in more freshly shaved truffle than I deserved... A flavor combination that hooked me instantly. A pot arrived steaming.. looking in all i could see was Truffle!!! its like i hit the truffle lottery and the stuff was being shaved from above raining down on me like snow. The Risotto was brothy mushroom.. not the thicker oatmeal like incarnation i have grown accustomed to. Perfectly seasoned and warmed my insides like a furnace... The portions were large even by american standards as I attempted to eat my way out of the packed restaurant. A chefs pan arrived with thick tagliatelle pasta and a whole lobster. A dish naturally seasoned by the briney release of my clawed friends juices... I ate like it was my job... I was an embarrassment in my dizzy frenzy.. I ate things on other peoples tables.. I could not control myself... I bit the waitress... I can not show my face in Brussels again.

So slow the starter was fossilized when it arrived…read more Service was terribly ....................................................slow. Waited over an hour for some basic starters. Others who came in later were served quicker. We reserved a table for 2 in advance for 8.30pm and arrived on time. Waiters seemed cold and lacking in motivation. Restaurant was empty by the time we finished our main course and the staff were too busy tidying tables to ask if we wanted desert, coffee or anything else. Paid the bill and left. Poor night and £100 down the drain for two basic courses that were nothing special. You can do much better. Advise you go elsewhere. Unless you like sombre atmosphere, isolation or need to go for training purposes on how not to run a restaurant while maximizing diner stress and dissatisfaction. Giving them a 2 because the main course was OK and, for the benefit of the doubt, in case they were having a Faulty Towers Drunken Chef moment. Their reply to my review on TripAdvisor gives you a good indication of how they view their customers if you have a valid complaint. Didn't even bother to read the review properly. Attention to detail also 2 stars.
