Wide variety of excellent tapas, from meat to vegi, everyone can find something. Great for sharing, artistic plating, but most of all, really really good food for a reasonable price. Attentive and helpful service.

Food, service and ambiance were absolutely impeccable. From the moment we arrived to when we left, our lovely waitress was highly attentive and had a fantastic knowledge of the menu. I would definitely recommend the prosciutto prawns and the beef fillet. Thanks to fellow Trip Advisors for the recommendation, otherwise we would've missed this gem.

We enjoyed the small plates concept. It allowed us to choose several items. Moroccan meatballs were a hit.

Everything we tried here was great. Don't miss the two different raviolos, each with an egg yoke in the center - they were the highlights. Mini kudo filets were also great, and our cocktails and wine were very good. Additionally, the manager was very nice, helpful and professional.

Don't expect anything like tapas from Spain, but the food is quite good. The service was good, and the wine was great. There's more room upstairs than down. Don't really recommend the sweet potato fries, but the daily specials were delicious both times I went.

Oye vato! The Soulman just popped in for lunch the other day and what an experience - great quality, super service and tapas galore. Not Spanish tapas only, but the tapas approach to the cuisine of the Cape as well. Highly recommended!

We tried 6 different tapas and each was my favourite. Most of the dishes have 4 pieces which makes it easy for 2 people to share. I cannot say enough about the wonderful combination of tastes each dish offers. Fork offers an enjoyable way to experience a variety of tastes in a single meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant... More

This place sells the best Tapas you'll find outside of Spain! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the service great and the food is stunning. We especially liked the concept of the tapas desserts -YUM!
