2nd February 2013 Love love love this restaurant! The tapas are great, the service is great, the drinks are superb and the venue is beautifully done. We have yet to venture to the actual dinner menu as the tapas always suck us in. The garlic prawn tapas is amazing and I highly recommend it!
26th July 2013 I took my husband for our anniversary. We booked our seat and got the seats by the fireplace and it was nice setting. However the space between the fireplace and our table was the passage where Waiters/waitresses go through to the other tables. It was not very comfortable they were walking next to us all the time. Staff were professional but not so friendly and seemed like they were not keen to have chat with customers. Dinner was tasty but in all it was really average. I was expecting something more special and fancy for our anniversary.

17th June 2012 Has been refurbished and menu changed by sons of the owner in the last month or so (was small plates, now more standard plating options)
Minimal design features/elements to convey a style. Really weird serviettes - they are tea towels, that unfortunately are also stained and smell like tea towels! Overall site could do with some good stylist advice - what are they trying to be?
Menu is good if somewhat limited for vegetarians. However, execution wasn't the best tonight. The pork was overcooked and a bit dry whereas the fennel was undercooked. Wine list is also quite sparse and could be improved.
Service was fine. Would be useful if they offered customers a choice of window seat or inner seating when making a booking. Not such a good option on a chilly Wellington night.
Overall needs a bit of work to meet the standard of other Wellington sites but shows promise.
