My wife and I ate here in November of 2002 and had a wonderful meal! Everything we had was delightful: Pan Fresco, Aceitunas Alinedas, Tortilla Espanola, Ensaladilla Rusa, Paella Valenciana (good), Pinchito Pollo, and Gambas Rebozadas. The cost including Sangria came to a modest 24.7 pounds (about $38 in Nov, '2002)
It is a quaint intament environment at the river. As I recall it had sandblasted walls, unique iron chairs and tables and sprial iron staircase that led to a basement that probably opens onto the river level.
The staff is Spanish so it helped a lot that my wife can speak some rusty Spanish. We have fond memories of the place.
We were there on a Monday so it was a bit slow. I imagine it is busy on the weekends.
