Shared Pleasures

Nice banquette at bottom of the stairs gave us a 'private' dining room...cocktails (passion fruit martini) and nibbles of marcona almonds and olives gave a nice kick-off to the evening. We started with two boards of charcuterie: one Spanish and one Italian - both exemplary samples of what greatness can be achieved by pig-curing.
There then followed a seemingly neverending array of delicious little plates of gorgeous food that we all shared, which added to the enjoyment. Standouts for me were the meat dishes of lamb with marinated courgettes and 'ajo blanco' (sweet garlic jus); confit pork belly with cannelini beans; and best of all, the pidgeon with crushed peas and morcilla - scrumptious!
The service was perfect, a very charming and friendly waitress had a good knowledge of and enthuisiasm for the menu, as well as possessing other qualities admired by the superficial male.
She (being Spanish) directed us to the Garsea tempranillo which we managed to consume two bottles of, it being quite delicious.
Would definitely return soon - 9/10
