"This, our local café, normally closes in the late afternoon about 17:00 this time of year; but occasionally it opens up on a Friday evening, until late, to provide a tapas evening with live music. These are occasions which we try to support as much as we can. Tonight was the latest of three such events that we have enjoyed supporting; it was also the last of the, I believe, four summer events have been held. The format, was as before, to stagger table reservation times to allow the kitchen to efficiently produce plates to order. This reservation system helps avoid what could be bottlenecks, that would surely result, if too many orders flood in at the more popular times. The menu is the same for all of these events; our preferences were again to the fore for certain plates, as follows: Chicken Skewers Greek style marinaded with yoghurt. Vegetable Spring Rolls with sweet chilli dip crispy, crunchy rolls filled with savoury mix of vegetables. Lamb kofta balls with tzatziki dip. Patatas Bravas crispy potatoes in a salsa brava with a creamy aioli. Skin on fries. It was once again a much enjoyed meal and, on this occasion, we had invited my Son to join us. He really enjoyed the plates and the atmosphere. Wine: we chose a bottle of the ‘Definition Pinot Grigio’ from north eastern Italy: very complex and much enjoyed: excellent. This bottle was my Son’s contribution to the evening (apart from, of course, his company). We followed that with a bottle of the ‘Pringle Bay’ Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape, South Africa: this was very good; wonderfully refreshing. My Partner and I paid for that one! Wine here is not too expensive, especially bearing in mind the quality. A note to say that the Patatas Bravas plate was excellent on this occasion, because the potatoes were indeed crispy. Our favourite plate, for all three of us, was however the ‘Vegetable Spring Rolls’. These were absolutely fabulous, such a great texture. If this plate was regularly featured on the menu, I am sure it would be a very popular choice. The provision of a sweet chilli dipping sauce is a masterpiece of culinary inspiration. The music for all of these events was a duo singing covers of popular songs accompanied by acoustic guitars. They use guitar mics to amplify the music an their vocals. On previous occasions the band have not been too loud; sadly tonight they were. There were times that we couldn’t hear each other speak, and my Partner had to twice ask the band to tone it down. There is a time and place for loud music and this wasn’t it."

"what a great little supplement to the greenwich food scene. Actually, it is not so little, but it is really great, especially considering how central it is to the tourist scene in greenwich. it's expensive, don't get me wrong. if they are planning to come here, they make it for a Friday night, for a party, for a start. Do not do what we have done, what appeared on a Monday night, just because we happen to have no food in the refrigerator, the kind of feeling just do not do it just justice. the place has a funky and hip feel about it. also the menus look cool and stylish. they have a great drink choice also for the non-drinker among us and know that I had a naughty week of eating ahead, I went for the healthy and durst quenching gurken juice. the menu is a bit overwhelming when they first visit, although they come with some helpful set menus when they are stuck to choose. we only need to order our menus for almost 20 minutes indecisively on what to eat. there re the sushi options and then there are the sticks. Each stick costs a lot for the size, but they have a large number of choices. I had a teriyaki lachsstock and delicious scallops in a crispy. the spicy edamame and absolutely divine cauliflower with black truffle sauce delivered our sweet for the evening and I could fortunately have eaten nothing except this cauliflower all night here. my man then chose one of the salads for a little more filling with huh and duck while I chose the nebel cod rolls. pleasantly full, we should have stopped there, but we were too tempted to order as desserts, in smll bites and as many or as few as they would like to order. we went for the black sesameis, a delicious chocolate fondant and 2 small chocolates including one covered with sesame seeds. if they 're feeling vey indulgent, they even order a box with all desserts included, but we'll have to save this for another time. this would be a great restaurant for a birthday, for a fun night with friends or for a little occasion. it is a little expensive in comparison to some of the neighboring sushi restaurants that are also very much to wish but it has a bit more novelty. if after a quick fix for a sushi gift or a light mid-week meal, these other decisions could be better suited, but for something special and unique, this is definitely worth a try and a very welcome supplement to greenwich."
