   A really wonderful place! Cool vibe and the interior design was beautiful! The food was great - our favorites were the tacos. We tried the shrimp, black bean and carnitas. Exceeded all expectations. Would recommend!

   Delicious food cooked on an open fire, great service and beautiful space. I think it's a tad high in price for some of the dishes. The service was brilliant. The only glitch was getting a coffee at the end and we had to wait a really long time for it. Then when it arrived it wasn't even hot. So that was a bad note to end the meal on. But the food is wonderful. The black cod in banana leaf, ceviche and tre leche for dessert were stand-outs for us.

   Appalling service. Waited 20 minutes to even be served water to eventually be served by an ambivalent waiter. Shame. I’ve been here before and it’s been excellent so quite disappointed.

   Lovely view. Cocktails ok. Service ok. Menu limited & quite boring. Food was ok but little sausages were served cold, the Spanish tortilla was only warm. Monkfish delicious but served on a side plate. Zero atmosphere.

   Total disappointment. From start to end! 15 mins to take our order despite our table was given to us later than the reservation time. After making the order, some time pass by, and we are told that two of the dishes we ordered are no longer available (INSTEAD of informing about it even before ordering. That what a restaurant charging 100£ per person would do) When main dishes arrived, they made again mistake with one of my guests: they said that what he ordered is no longer available either, when ALL GUESTS of the table received their dishes. How is this restaurant managed?!?!?!? They ruined a very special moment !!! The crockery is better at IKEA! In a restaurant charging such high rates, you expect very nice crockery and silver wear. Well, TOTALLY surprising to see the so cheap plates they use at this restaurant. Besides, never seen such a noisy restaurant in London. And people know restaurants can be noisy here. But I think even Amazonico is more quiet than this awful restaurant! The presentation of the guacamole, it was even embarrassing!!!!!! For the same price, in Coya, you get to guacamole to be done in front of you in a nice ceremony. The Standard should reconsider having the Management Team they have for this restaurant!!!!! I would definitely tell all my friends and clients to AVOID this place in London!!!!! What a waste of time and money for me!!! And the worse: making my guests have such a bad experience

   Last night, my friends flew in from Spain with high hopes for a memorable dining experience. Memorable it was, but for all the wrong reasons. From start to finish, the evening was an exercise in frustration. The food was uninspired at best, downright disappointing at worst. Bland, poorly executed, and utterly forgettable—it was as if the kitchen had actively conspired to remove joy from the dining experience. But the service? That was truly next-level bad. Three times, I had to leave my seat to hunt down our elusive waiter, who seemed to be perfecting the art of disappearing. We sat captive from 8 pm to 11:30 pm, paying dearly for the privilege of subpar food and abysmal service. And when the bill arrived—a staggering £600—I couldn’t help but feel we’d been conned. If this restaurant were aiming for a lesson in disappointment, they’ve succeeded spectacularly. Never again.

    We booked this restaurant as my son wanted to go here for his 21st Birthday celebrations. He was a bit disappointed the external lift to the 10th floor was not working but we thoroughly enjoyed our restaurant experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere great. It was a shame there were curtains over some of the windows as the views are fabulous. Best views are from the toilets which are an interesting experience in themselves. The vibe and decor is very 1970s and food Spanish / Mexican inspired. The food was delicious we all really enjoyed it. Only 4 stars for service as they forgot to bring our potatoes with the main course, so we had to ask for them and also were a bit slow topping up our water. But these were minor things which did not Marc’s loveseat to celebrate our so son’ birthday. Great place for a special occasion.
