Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the tapas, with the 3 for £12 selection and the mushroom bao, Korean prawns, and squid earning repeated praise for taste and variety. Close behind, the birthday churros and chilli beef tapas are highlighted as standout dishes, while cocktails are frequently described as spot on. Several note the welcoming service, with one server arranging a special request and another manager securing a custom dish from the kitchen. The atmosphere is repeatedly called quirky, vintage, and relaxed, with dog-friendly touches like treats and bowls also mentioned. A few reviews cite noise levels as loud, and one vegan order was initially incorrect but quickly refunded and replaced.

“First visit to this particular Lounge, while in the area today. The usual high standard of food from the kitchen we've come to expect from this brand. Not quite the atmosphere or vibe of some others recrntly visited. Seems a little smaller/less tables. Service was quick and friendly. Would return when next around.”
- Emma McNally
“The staff was lovey and welcoming , the noise was quite loud with people enjoying themselves, the food was very beautifully messy. Also there was a cabinet with things for dogs including varies dog treats , blankets and dog bowls. The toilets are upstairs as far as I’m aware . The atmosphere was very quirky and vintage looking but it just didn’t feel like a place to eat dinner , more like a lunch place or a place to gather and meet up with friends . This place is very good to visit as for someone visiting the area as a tourist , the artwork is just beautiful.”

“We recently visited the Capppello Lounge for our Kwanzaa Collective UK social. Booking a table and making adjustments to the booking was super easy. We had the Tapas and drinks deal which is available on a Tuesday. I have the mushroom bao, Korean prawns and squid. All were amazing! Service was amazing. Atmosphere was magical. The decor was lovely. Thank you for looking after us and we shall hopefully be back soon. Alliyah (Kwanzaa Collective UK CIC).”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
