A bit of Spain in Kings Cross??
After missing out on the opening night as I was on my hols I promised myself a trip to Camino as soon as possible. Last night I popped in for a glass of wine and some tapas, and have to say that unfortunately I came out a little disappointed. Positives: the wine was very tasty and the layout of the bar is great as it allows you to discover a quiet corner, or mingle at the bar. Down-sides: I was over-charged by a tenner which was refunded when I returned to the bar to complain. I had to chase the tortilla de patatas. It was lacking in atmosphere, which is probably not unusual for a Tuesday night but I do think its location means people are unlikely to simply stumble upon it and pop in for a quick drink.
All in all, the staff are very pleasant, there is a lovely fresh and new feeling to the place and the tapas is OK (bit too pricey in my opinion).
