Having looked at the menu and not being a massive fan of fish dishes, I have put off eating here, particularly in light of the queues you generally see of people waiting to dine. My wife, on the other hand, does enjoy sea food, and as there was no queue, we gave it a go. The staff are very friendly, attentive and efficient. The first waitress who attended us took our drinks order and explained the menu to us. They are small plates but larger than tapas style. Good for someone like me, who has little experience eating fish (other than battered) and might like to try something new. To order, you mark your selection on the menu and hand it over to a waitress. It is a process I hadn't come across before but works very well. I had scallops and mackerel, and my wife tried the battered cod and prawns. We also had sides of chips and new potatoes. All the dishes were nicely presented and very tasty. The staff checked on us several times, and the interactions between themselves and the customers helped to make it a very comfortable and relaxed mid day meal. I will definitely return and would even queue (for a short while) for the same experience. I think I'll try the crab dish next time. It looked very appetising. In summary, it was well prepared, tasty food, served by good staff at a reasonable price.

Barbican bistro Barbican lane, EnglandWe called ahead to book a table to guarantee seating, since it was a Sunday night and many places were closed. But there did not seem to be an issue seating people without bookings. This restaurant has a "tapas" menu, or small plate menu. It was suggested that we order two or three items per meal. I have an allergy to plant peppers & paprika, and I had difficulty finding two items that I thought I would enjoy. I chose the tomato/olive salad, but I had to specify NO green olives that are pimento stuffed, and the Blue Cheese Soufflé. Both were quite tasty. My husband ordered some type of seafood with capers. We both enjoyed our meals. He had a Spanish beer, which he said was terrific. I'm not a beer drinker, so I cannot offer an opinion on that. There were three young men running the restaurant, and they were all rather entertaining. I felt that I had to work extra hard to convince the young man of my allergy, and he even asked "how bad is it?" It was when I mentioned that I have an epipen that he seemed to finally grasp the situation. Most restaurants manage to take my allergy seriously without asking the severity. We were seated near the bar, which resulted in a cold draft every time someone came in and out of the door. Something worth considering if you are sensitive to temperatures. There was a large party coming in, so we chose to leave quickly as there really wasn't anything else tempting on the menu, and between the drafts and the noise, we felt it best to just get on our way. There was another room, a few steps up, near the front of the building, where many walk-ins were directed, but I have no idea what the ambiance was like since I never went to look.
