I've been here probably close to a dozen times now over the past few years, and recently was here for my anniversary. We had the platter for two - we asked for a few modifications and they were accommodating.
The food is undoubtedly five star! The seafood is fresh and the dishes are unique. There are many items you can't get anywhere else. My absolute favourite is the bacon-wrapped, almond-stuffed dates with blue cheese and balsamic reduction, but I have yet to try anything that isn't good. There is a great drink list as well.
Be forewarned that the venue is very crowded, with small tables, and thus a fair bit of noise. The patio is much more spacious and has the beautiful overhanging lights, so I highly recommend it if possible. It is difficult for the waitresses to get around, so the service could sometimes be a little more attentive and quick. It was perhaps not the best choice for a romantic anniversary dinner but it's great for dinner with a small group.
Note also that the food can get pretty expensive! Servings are small for the tapas. You should expect to get three dishes per person, though the platter for two was very filling and of great value. These can quickly add up, so if you're on a budget, try the mussels (they are full size, so the price is actually pretty good), seafood pasta or steak (also an excellent price).
Overall, one of my favourite restaurants in Victoria.

My food seemed under seasoned and frankly a bit bland, not to mention very slow service when wanting your bill. And it shouldn't have a suggested 25% tip for such an underwhelming restaurant. There are other better places for tapas in my opinion.

After reading a few of the reviews, we were concerned that the service was not going to be good. The exact opposite was the case. The service was awesome! Thanks for wonderful night.

First of all the location is absolutely amazing, very easy to find and just a stones throw away from anything else you'll need. The food is absolutely phenomenal, everything has a little. It of a unique flavour which I find ideal for my dining experience. Food is one thing though... I have personally never been waited on so perfectly! The wait staff was friendly and hospitable, the wait time was next to nothing and the food came out with in 10 minutes of us ordering. A real gem in victoria!
Side note the happy hour (3-6) specials are amazing!
