"After 10pm, when Adom becomes more of a wine bar and pick-up spot, a menu of tapas-style dishes and half-portions becomes available. The bar is excellent, as are desserts."

There are many toppings (don't miss the black-olive spread), and some tasty starters (try the fried mushrooms stuffed with goat's cheese or the fried calamari).
