Most of the clientele here are westerners. Ratings of this place are quite high so were my expectations.
First of all the seating was quite uncomfortable. I particularly placed a booking hoping for a pair of seats facing the cooks so we can see all the action, but instead we were placed at the end of the bar, where we were facing the wall.
Another thing about eating along a bar table is that it's quite hard to eat and talk to the person beside you at the same time.
Food served at this place was definitely overrated. Both signature dishes, roasted pork belly and spicy fried shrimps, I am sorry to say we Chinese definitely do a better job executing the same dishes.
I would say it's ok, nothing worth raving about. I would pick Boca, Ole, even El cid and Mijas over this place any day, for the food the comfort level and the ambience. Sorry tapeo, I won't be heading back any soon.
喺何里活道嘅, 多數鬼幫襯. 食物一般, 大把好過佢, 招牌菜燒豬腩同椒鹽炸蝦, 個人認為中菜做得好過佢好多
Location: Hollywood Road, Central
service was so so and as usual the filipino servers seem to be diverting all their attention to the westerners
啲賓籍侍應如常地專照顧西人
seated opposite the wall despite reservation made well in advance
訂了枱還是要面璧
olive and garlic, ok蒜頭欖油橄欖
with bits of lemon有啲檸檬粒. 一般. 講開橄欖, 都係drop嘅最好食
can't remember what ham this was, probably 12 months iberico, nothing special, not very oily nor aromatic
冇咩油份鹹香嘅西班牙火腿
goat cheese tomato salad羊奶芝士蕃茄沙律
this was a joke, i mean can you spot the measly bits of goat cheese in the picture? I couldn't, they were so well hidden LOL!
羊奶芝士呢??!!!
少得可憐呀!!! 
signature dish, fried spicy shrimps, with the shell on, the shrimps weren't fried well enough, shells aren't crispy making it a bit hard on the month.
椒鹽炸蝦, 炸得唔夠透, 啲殼好"參"口
signature dish招牌燒豬腩
roasted pork belly, another signature dish, yes it was crispy, crispy as it was, that was all you can say about this dish
係燒得香脆, 但就係得個脆, 啲肉, 雖然間住肥膏, 但唔juicy
the meat wasn't succulent, it was salty but at the same time bland, very one dimensional
得鹹味, 食落好寡
white wine clams, very hard to screw this dish up
好難衰嘅一味
mixed mushrooms, ok i guess
炒什菇亦係新手都難唔倒
grilled sardines, what made this a bit more special was it was served on a bed of middle-eastern style bean paste very similar to hummus. I was puzzled about this "marriage", thought this place serves spanish.
沙甸燒得香, 但唔夠新鮮, 一放冷少少就腥
Anyway I wasn't to excited about the hummus-like paste.
仲有, 唔知點解放喺堆豆醬上邊...
