I checked out the menu recently when looking for somewhere for tapas and thought it was very expensive compared to the nearby Port House. We went to the latter and had a great – and great value, I think – evening
While the menu is more expensive than the Port House, The portions are much more substantial. Portions are really more akin to a lunch-sized portion than the standard tapas portion and you get away with ordering far less than in most tapas restaurants. I’ve always found the food there delicious and I will be checking out the evening tapas offer.
@Rach – ok, that explains it, but doesn’t that negate the idea of tapas? The reason we wanted tapas was because we WANTED to order a lot of dishes to share and taste.
Yeah I agree with you Steve, it isn’t really conducive to sharing lots of different dishes. I have major issues with sharing my food though so it works for me!

I’ve been for tapas in the evening a few times and always come away very happy.
