"the food was bland and the veggie lasagna was a mixture of hard and soft, this was a frozen meal reheated. the fish was in order, but the chips were soggy, altogether no good meal and would not go again. I also feel that their prices for the quality of food are far too high. there are better restaurants and are more competitive in liverpool."

"I'm always on the hunt for two things when choosing a restaurant in London. If it's not for a special occasion or random splurge then i always look for the underdog. That restaurant who goes relatively undiscovered and also one which represents great value for money. Antidote Wine Bar just off Carnaby Street ticks both boxes. I've been walking past this popular little restaurant for a couple of years now, always telling myself I'd pop in, but never did. Just as i decided to head down in February they'd closed for a refurbishment just my luck. But then i heard a rumour, and got a little excited. After a little research on the Internet i discovered that not only was the refurb revealing...read more"

"We found the food uninspired and very mediocre. Even without looking at the bill we commented that the tapas we ordered seemed bland and not as good as any other tapas restaurants we have been to in the U.K. or Spain. When we saw the bill it really hit home how it was overpriced for the quality of food. It felt very much like a chain restaurant with ore-prepared food that had just been reheated, and not like somewhere we would spend £90 for two. The service was ok; they were cheerful and smiling and explained everything well, but it took a long time to get the bill and pay."

"I came here with 2 girlfriends for dinner and drinks and we left the restaurant disappointed. I grew up in Spain and know enough about Spanish Cuisine to know that the tapas were not great but I would have overlooked this if I would not have felt harassed and under time pressure. My friend, who had booked the restaurant, had not been advised that there is a strict time set per guests/table. We wanted to spend our evening in the restaurant with plenty of food and drinks however after about an hour were told we don 't have much time left. From then I actually noticed how all the other guests, when shown to their table, were immediately told: here are the menus, you have 1h30m at the table ... not very welcoming if you ask me. I understand the restaurant needs to plan for the night and given the small space needs to have more strict times but sorry, that is not enough time for a comfortable dinner. We had wine, cocktails, numerous tapas dishes per head and wanted to enjoy some dessert/coffees, etc. instead our time was up... and you know what, we won 't be coming back. Growing up in Spain, even in very touristy hot spots I have never ever experienced such pressure when enjoying dinner. I worked in restaurants myself during uni and have never seen this before."

"We have lived in the area for years and I now wished we had discovered Boqueria earlier! We had the papatas bravas (so crunchy! and the tortilla (with creamy egg yolk inside for starters so simple but so perfectly executed! For mains, we ordered the chicken paella which was very generous but maybe a tad too salty and the pork, which was paired with an unusual lemon sorbet (it works! . For desserts, we had the cheesecakes (burnt and pistachio , which were a perfect way to finish off our meal. The meal was really fairly priced for the quality of the food. I have been to many tapas/Spanish restaurants in London and this one is definitely up there. We will come back!"

"I Loved this place! We arrived a little early for cocktails at the bar i had a Flat white martini something you must try if you like an espresso martini, well this is better! The service was fantastic and attentive. We shared a selection of Tapas as a group of four people to start with and it was amazing we just wanted more however the waiter was very good at helping us order as we had never been before, he suggested we share starters as we were wanting paella also. Good thing we did! The waiter suggested we ordered 1 paella per couple as it is a sharing dish. Wow amazing! They brought out 2 massive hot dishes of paella on a stand beside the table and the waiter served your 1st portion! We ordered one chicken and one sea food paella which was delicious ! we also ordered 1 bottle of wine for the table to go with the paella which was lovely also and i am not the biggest fan of wine but that was perfect to go with what we had to eat. Cannot wait to go back hopefully it will be soon as writing this has made me hungry haha."

"We were really looking forward to eating here as my friend had booked a table inside the restaurant for us on Saturday 28th August. She politely asked the waitress if we could be seated outside seeing as it was a sunny day, and was promptly told there were no spaces even though we could clearly see there was. Literally within a few minutes of being seated at our table a couple walked in and asked another waitress if there were any tables outside and that they hadn't made a reservation. The waitress picked up some menus and took the couple outside and sat them at one of the empty tables! We asked our waitress why we weren't given the option to move as we had politely requested previously... she abruptly told us there had been a cancellation, which was strange as whilst we were seated at our table the phone didn't ring once. Maybe it was an online cancellation and she was probably having an off day but her attitude stank. I'm fully aware of the pressures on the hospitality industry the moment with staff shortages etc but the restaurant wasnt full. We had to ask a waiter if we could place an order for our food and drinks. The food was good but Ziques won't be my first choice when booking again!"

"While I expected a crazy busy motherday rush, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet and while I was busy it was nothing that the staff could not handle. our waiter, while slightly sticky was polite and very friendly. he may have been cute on my mother, it has proved more than anything. during the garlauchbrotstarter proved to be disappointing perhaps as a garlic bread lover my standards are quite high! when it came to the carbonara (with added hair naturally) I was blown away. I almost went into a food cosm to finish it. Maybe it was the best carbonara I ever had! Unfortunately, no discounts were taken due to Mother's Day. this is understandable from business, but if I am a seafarer and my mother works for the nhs, it was disappointing not to use any of these discounts. overall we recommend a visit! reasonably priced and not a meal that would break the bank, which is always helpful if they are on a family dinner!"

"One of our favorite restaurants: incredibly authentic Spanish tapas that rival a place I was taken to by locals in Barcelona. They offer a specially curated menu featuring only gluten-free dishes, and there are plenty to choose from, allowing you to enjoy a generous selection of tapas. If you order the trio of dips to start, they also provide oat cakes as an alternative to bread, which I highly recommend!"

"it matched my mood tired, thirsty and antisocial. One of the coworkers did that the thing not to see them in the eyes when they pass them their drink, and they say thank you for him (maybe I was too successful, my leave me look alone! . it should not annoy me, but that does it. after he said that the place has a nice mood to him. drinks prices seem appropriate for the venue. I didn't try to eat. I would probably come back if in brackish and wanted to chill on a Friday afternoon."

"One of the best Spanish restaurants in London. Have tried so many Spanish options in UK, Ibérica went way above my expectations, it strikes the right balance between quality of the food, variety of dishes, portion size, and service, without overwhelming expensive prices common on this area for a restaurant this quality. I’ve found many Spanish restaurants in London give you the basic tapas, with moderate-quality ingredients, or not cooked in the right way. Everything we had at Ibérica, was fresh and flavour-rich. From the bread with tomato, to the croquetas, meatballs, chorizo or patatas bravas. They also offer a good selection of wines. We had an excellent cava rose, tried alvarinio, and a very good blend of Cabernet Syrah for the red option. We didn’t make it to the dessert, just out of space, but plenty of good options. They also offer a set menu and a seasonal Christmas menu, but I believe it is available only some days. Will definitely come back!! Gracias."

"Been here many times and always been pleased hence returning many times. This time however we were left for 15-20 minutes without anyone even asking for a drinks order, in fairness once prompted we did get a free drink, but still pretty poor. After we ordered we did wait around 40 minutes for our food, and whilst I appreciate it takes time to prepare and serve, it did seem awfully long especially after the initial 15-20 minutes wait to order in the first place. In short great food at reasonable cost in a nice atmosphere, customer service shocking and needs sorted out before you lose customers."

"I would not recommend this restaurant. Despite having a reservation, we arrived 3 minutes early and were told to wait until our allotted time. After waiting for 25 minutes, we received no apology. The service was poor, as we were not offered a drink and when we tried to order, we were told to wait. The food was mediocre and not authentic Spanish cuisine. Our orders were incorrect, with missing items and unwanted substitutions. The waitstaff were indifferent and unapologetic. The tables were cramped, with customers having to crawl under them to leave. Overall, a disappointing and unwelcoming experience."

"Upon entering we were seated amongst tables full with family members shouting over each other so me and my partner were unable to talk much as we couldn’t hear. We were then given a menu which was only a small selection of food and no where on the website said it was going to be a set dinner. We then ordered our food which took forever to turn up and our drinks had been forgotten about. Our starters arrived after 20 mins and they were small but nice. I ordered a steak and my partner ordered the fish, we were given a bowl of veg and potatoes to share when it stated that our meals came with potatoes and veg not to share and then they charged us £162!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it!! The food was lovely but the overall experience and price was a massive let down for New Year’s Eve."

"Delicious food as always with some excellent daily specials as well as the main menu. My only complaint was that when we ordered a second round of dishes because the first was so yummy there was a misunderstanding with one dish, and then even the replacement was the wrong dish (but we didn’t have the heart to tell them it was wrong again so we ate what we were given instead of what we had ordered)."

"As for the rooms, ours was delightful with a really comfortable bed. The drink selection, especially the cider and real ale, was excellent. Breakfast was a highlight, offering a wonderful variety of cooked options. One morning, I had the Smoked Salmon with scrambled eggs, and the next day I enjoyed poached haddock with poached eggs. My husband tried the full English breakfast and loved it. Although we didn't dine in for dinner since we were out in the evening, we did have some sandwiches which were very nice. The food was really lovely, made even better by the friendly staff. All in all, we had a wonderful stay!"

"tapas dinner was quite impressive. faster service also. the cheapest red was an affordable £23 and quite pleasant and light. the three of us ordered 6 tapas, which was enough when none of us were ravenous. the waiter recommends 2 to 3 tapas per person. the salt-chid brand was the first plate to arrive, and was rich and thrown with some tart tomaten as well as a sous vide runny eigelb. accompanying crostina were delicately thin and brittle, which was a beautiful contrast in the texture. trüffelmac and cheese had arrived next door. very tasty, but the sauce was somewhat too liquid for my taste. pasta could also have been firmer. again a good idea to texture in this plate, as it contained crispy brothcrumbs, which actually contained truffles, not only truffle oil. the bark tars had arrived next door. quite fresh and even aggressive sour with picked enoki mushrooms and microcutters. after the rich mac and cheese, the sharp aromes gave a welcome contrast. I could've noticed the bad ones less. bavette steak was one of the star orders. brussel tops, sweet roast cauliflower and a opaque sauce as well as thin slices of seldom grilled steak, which is a good strategy for a cut that can be a bit hard. grilled chicken leg with salsify, sage and apricot was another excellent dish. I love greetings, but can not be harassed to cook it home because the cleaning is such a choir. very delicate grilled chicken. texture was added by the apricoses, which were added as thin dewatered shaves, chewiness. the jafit of the black bell was another satisfying court. fat, salty, with crispy skin and sitting on a stew of cockerbsen and pancetta. in general, eating was well done and well thought out. service was efficient. they were totally unfazed when we told them we had to pay with the card right now because our over arrived in a minute. in March 2019, all the restaurants of the salt yard group offer a 50% discount on the lunch and dinner on Sunday. check out the section offers of the hot dinner website to book instructions for the special deal."

"Now, I can only say positive things about this place! I and my wife went to our one-year anniversary! and what a tasty bite! I would highly recommend the mahou camp if they are a drinker of the lager! it was like the sky in a pint glass! the service was amazing, the waist / and other workers, where very helpful and seem really care we had a good time! the food was a taste sensation! Apart from that it was not on the miniburgers, but they came last and after the first 4 that we had already eaten, it was a harder act to follow! we will come back and have already spread the word of this amazing place!"

"Spoilt by a magnificent day, we were able to enjoy our coffee au-dehors and appreciate Howth in the far background and the bustling park in the foreground. Some observations: Accessibility: Steps up to the entrance of Fallon Byrne's have no handrail for the elderly. Sustainability: no recycling is done (at least it's not evident as everything ends up in a bin as pictured below). Food experience: just had a coffee that was hot and creamy. Would have liked a scone, but sadly all were sold out! Some interesting products sold in the shop: e.g., garlic and vinegar-flavoured crisps from Spain the flavour really tickled my taste buds! Place to visit again. Would be a real step forward if Fallon Byrne could at least begin to segregate e.g. their plastic waste, which is actually mushrooming for everyone since the onslaught of . Suggestion: start with some coloured bins (see Ireland's National Waste policy for more detail)."
