A casual, Basque-influenced bistro from The Clove Club team offering ambitious European sharing plates at prices that have drawn sharp criticism given the laid-back, sometimes cramped setting.
Ordering Strategy
Focus on the snacks (especially the barbajuans) and desserts; approach the expensive mains with caution as portion sizes and execution have polarized critics. The bill climbs very quickly here.
What to order
Swiss Chard Barbajuans
These 'deservedly' popular stuffed veggie fritters are a staple snack that reviewers say 'keep us happy while we chat,' even when other aspects of the experience are scrutinized.
Fabada Asturiana
A 'fabulous offering' and 'sticky' pork and bean stew from North West Spain, packed with chorizo, house-made blood pudding, and pork belly.
Chocolate Mousse
The one dessert you '100% can't go without ordering,' this 'dream of a sharing dessert' is made with 70% Tanzanian chocolate and topped with a thin layer of lightly whipped vanilla cream.
Duck fat sauteed potatoes
Described as 'deeply crispy wonders,' these are highlighted as a mandatory blackboard special that diners must 'make sure to order.'

Good to know
Located in the former Two Lights space. While the vibe is casual bistro, the pricing is closer to fine dining. Booking is recommended.
