Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Atmosphere was excellent. Busy and vibrant with the flavour of Peru."
• "The ambience is also great and the servers are very friendly."
• "Liked the decor of the place and (random remark but...) like the cute mirror in the bathroom."
• "We were there for dinner, and the place was quite dimly lit with candles on every table."
• "Lively atmosphere and great cocktails."
• "Really good vibe, friendly staff and amazing food."
• "The atmosphere is warm, inviting and colourful."

Cons:

• "Also it's quite noisy, so not ideal if you need to have a proper conversation."
• "The huge minus - it was too loud - the tables are too close to one another, so we couldn't hear each other, we had to shout and I had a headache."
• "It was very full and there are a lot of tables squeezed into a relatively small space."
• "The only down side is the table size, it felt very cramped and tables are too close to each other."
• "However the music is so loud that it hurt our ears and talking to each other was impossible."
• "Very tightly packed table density and it's deafening some of the time."
• "Inside the restaurant it can get quite noisy, it’s almost inside a club."

Value

Pros:

• "The food was incredible, and for a reasonable price, too."
• "Also great value for money."
• "Good value."
• "The lunch special is very well priced."
• "The prices are very reasonable, great value for money."
• "Prices are very reasonable - they’re reflective of the high quality and effort level of the dishes."
• "For £18 you’ll have a tasting menu and literally EVERYTHING there was delicious."

Cons:

• "However the price is a little bit overcharged I think, did a calculation that maybe single order would be much more cheaper."
• "It's pretty expensive and a suggested service charge of 12.5% added on to the bill automatically is less suggested and more required."
• "Price point seems a little high when next door you can get a full large plate meal for only a few £ more than the little plates here."
• "The food was amazing, the price for the portion of food they serve it’s crazy, too expensive, you will have 3 courses at the end and will remain not satisfied."
• "Underwhelming, and very expensive. Tapas style so the inevitable ‘order 3-4 dishes per person’, each of which were £8-£15!"
• "£50 for a very light dinner and smoked clothes."
• "Food definitely tasted alright but the price isn't justified by any of that."
