"As a Spaniard myself, I wanted to take my friend to a Spanish restaurant, so after a visit to the V&A museum, we went to this place. We didn’t have a reservation, however we were quickly placed on a table inside. The service was fast, we were attended by 4 different members of the staff during our meal, but all of them were nice. We ordered some dishes to share, since I wanted her to try different things. Be aware that the portions are tiny. We literally got 3 croquetas, 4 prawns in garlic sauce, 2 small eggs with a bit of pisto, and some mussels. Except for the mussels, everything was delicious. The mussels on the other hand, were bland, just boiled, the sauce was tasteless and we didn’t like it. We got 4 small pieces of bread in total, priced at £4, so it was £1 per slice. As a dessert, we had some orange and chocolate cake, which was more like a tart. Apart from the orange on top, it didn’t taste like orange at all, which I didn’t mind, overall it was very nicely prepared. We also had a couple of pacharán. The bill came up to nearly £100, which we thought it was a lot for the amount of food we got. I understand this is London and the restaurant is in one of the poshest areas, but still…Be also aware that VAT is calculated later in the bill, and also service is included, which I’m not a fan of. I have also worked as a waitress when I was younger, so I appreciate the hard work, especially in a busy place like this, but I prefer to decide how much I tip I would like to leave, depending of how good or bad the service is. We both thought, as an experience, it was ok, but we wouldn’t be returning any time soon."

"Last night my man visited, sat down and the beautiful young lady who sat, gave us the menu and said someone will be with them and will explain how it works. we waited about before someone came by, the...young girl didn't know how the menu worked because she had only been there (I felt sorry for her because she was obviously not properly trained). the sides were wrong, they had to send back. the drinks came after we had eaten. we then sat and waited for the bill that led to us just getting up and going forward. the young girl who sat down, saw that she worked so hard during the time when we were sitting, that she had never stopped (she is a credit for the team). I managed to catch them and ask for the bill that they could not excuse that nobody was on the table. Obviously, because she led all who went through the restaurant, she politely asked another working mate to sort the bill for us, but then unfortunately he did not hesitate to abuse them for them orally. if this is the way the personal speaks to each other, then it does not surprise me that the service is bad. I felt so sorry for the young lady, she had only one million and one thing to do, and the young lady who asked her to see the bill for us was only at the bar and did not see very busy. while we sit during sitting and eating wrong sides, where you were put on the wrong table, people who complained did not receive their drinks. it is sad to say that we will never visit them again."
