Had the Seafood Tapas lunch here (Oct '20) which was incredible value for money. Really tasty selection and good sized portions. Menu varies (we had sardines, mussels and fishcakes), but will always come with potatoes, bread and salad. You can also supplement the meal with starters - we had the choice of oysters and/or whelks. Small, but perfectly matched wine selection. Great service - very friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is small, but stylish. Tables spaced out adequately and Covid precautions taken (masks and sanitiser).

Visited for the opening of the Saturday seafood tapas, opted to try each of the starters (oysters, and whelks which were in possibly the tastiest garlic butter we've ever tried) alongside a glass of wine and the tapas selection. The restaurant is small but well proportioned and very tastefully decorated. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable, explaining each dish and the background to the selection. As a final hurrah for our trip to Southend-on-Sea it was a lovely end to our few days and would absolutely recommend a visit for the tapas. At 12pp the portions were generous and delicious.

Visited for a birthday meal. It was a special menu night with an asparagus theme running throughout. The food and dining experience was exceptional. We had a fantastic evening and look forward to going back. Sometime soon. A real gem.
