I would highly recommend this restaurant for several reasons…read more 1. Location cannot be beat if you're in central London! It's a beautiful restaurant that's ideally situated next to the theatre district. 2. Menu is very interesting and full of unique items that are rare to find on traditional restaurant menus. It's also quite good for vegetarians (3 mains and 3 apps are fully vegetarian). 3. Service was quite good. Our server was quite attentive, helpful, and gave us excellent recommendations. The chef's assistant also came out a few times to say Hi and even brought us complimentary coffee at the end. 4. Price is incredibly good for the kind of food, experience, service, and location you're in. Two of us had two appetizers, two mains, 1 dessert, and a carafe of wine for £80 (incl. service)! 5. Finally -- the food. Explosions of flavor, unique textures, and interesting preparations all combine to make this a wonderful experience. I had memories of eating in San Sebastian at Michelin star restaurants...highly recommended for 1/5 of the price! Check out the pictures to see some of the things we got. I would highly recommend the "Traditional Talo" and "Arraultzak". The "Arroz de Setas" was also awesome, but a bit salty for my taste. We got an excellent Rioja to go with the food which was perfect. For dessert, the salted caramel is a no-brainer!

What arrived had a charred skin, but the meat underneath was red, cold, and raw in texture -- not pink, not rare, but genuinely undercooked. This was served to a child without any warning or explanation. My tuna was supposedly "seared," but it had clearly only been heated on one side and was cold throughout. This isn't about personal taste, adventurous cuisine, or "authentic style." It's about fundamental temperature control and food safety. There is a huge difference between rare and unsafe, and this crossed that line.

The service was at the doting level, I felt spoiled from the moment I was seated. There are two huge coolers. One full of aged meat and another filled with amazing wine. The dry aged, grass-fed, "Spanish version of Kobe" beef was so special. It was not an inexpensive dinner, so be prepared for £120 per kilo. Worth a splurge to experience the amazing staff here. Spoil yourself! And, try the creamed Swiss chard, I could have licked the bowl (except that would be embarrassing... )

The interior is mostly bar and small hightop seating, but it manages to create close and intimate sining areas for 2 very nicely. The food seems authentic. Mostly done tappas-style but much better than in the states. We got the Olives, Oxtail slider, Rice with seafod, Langustines, potatoes, cauliflower and Pluma Iberica. All were very good and the Oxtail, rice/seafood, and pluma Iberica were hauntingly scrumptious. Service was genuine, accommodating, caring and prompt. The best example of that was the timing and staging of dishes so we never got more than 2 at once and could enjoy each before the next plates arrived. Best service I have ever had at a tappas or small plates restaurant! If you are in London, you gotta go!!

In general, the Old Town area of Hastings is far more pleasant than Regular Town, sporting better pubs, better restaurants and (sometimes) better people! Harris' fits nicely into this scheme. Our trip to Harris' followed an afternoon of drinking which, I hear you say, should really end with a curry, not Tapas, however as we were feeling a little bit experimental, and I had never been, we decided to go for it. They have a pretty standard tapas menu with most dishes costing between £3.50 and £6. We opted for the 'Feast for two' for £25 which works out as quite a money saver. You get more than enough for two people and includes meat, fish and vegetable dishes. The service was good, in fact, we were there about twenty minutes before it opened, but they still let us in, thankfully, as it packed out very quickly. I would comment on the drinks selection, however due to excessive intoxication, i cannot remember any of it. Saying, 'Wine' repeatedly rings a bell, then hearing the word, 'White?', then nodding, is how that part of the meal went down. All in all, a very good experience.

First of all, the atmosphere here is fantastic, very warm and comforting. The service you receive is always with a smile and so attentive. Ordering from the main menu, you can't go wrong.

It is a family run business, and this is what makes it a cosy & welcoming place to have that special dinner.

My personal favourite has to be the Scampi meunier, cooked to order in a cream White wine sauce with cheese and mash potatoes. Defiantly old school classic provencal cooking which may be out of vogue but hugely satisfying none the less. Whitebait and the freshly prepared boozy deserts hark back to the days when going to a restaurant meant fresh food freshly cooked from scratch. An occasion to be savoured. Highly recommended, Agostino and his wife are very friendly and it is always a pleasure to enjoy their hospitality.

The waiter was very polite and friendly and we were quickly seated out on the patio, the decor has a rural feel which looks slightly out of place in such a modern building. But it is the food that is the star here and they have a good selection of tapas, main dishes , deserts , wine and beer. We chose a main dish, pork T-bone (which was huge)with twice cooked chips, onion & pepper cooked in paprika and herbs and it was lovely. The pork cooked with garlic and herbs was so succulent and the pepper and onion had a pleasing delicate flavour finished with some great tasting chips. Highly recommend this place!

The Donostia Social Club, hidden in the POP Brixton Container complex, is a lovely homely little venue that serves great tapas (although definitely not at the prices you'll get in Spain), that is pretty authentic - even down to the little squat bread sticks you get with everything in Spain. It's a very intimate restaurant, although there is limited outdoor seating if you're claustrophobic, but I love what they've done with the place. The white tile wall reminds me of restaurants I've visited in Spain, although the tiles are much bigger, so it's an interesting English take on this. The Patatas Bravas are particularly lovely and come with salt flakes, chilli and tomato sauce. The meat platter is nice, (It was okay for the UK, but nothing like the standard you'd get in Spain) but the bread is a little too thick cut, it really needs to be thinner, it's hard to take a bite, so I'd suggest if you order this you ask for them to thinly cut this. Absolutely yummy!

This tapas place has a little upstairs outdoor seating (lovely for a summers day however when I was there it was waaaaay too cold) which provides a great view of the rest of Pop Brixton down below as well as inside where there is long wooden bar with stools where you are seated and served from behind the bar. The place has a cool vibe and an amazing looking menu! I only tried a taster given our during an event - a huge creamy wedge of goats cheese, a little leaf with a strawberry and balsamic glaze on top - which was really really good and will mean I definitely return for a proper meal. The menu ranges from £3.50 (for a scallop) to £7.50 (lamb rump) and everything sounds incredible. What a great find!

What a gem of restaurant!!…read more My salsa friend Hilary has been helping me in my Yelp quest to find new places to eat before salsa on Friday evenings. We have fairly much eaten out Epsom and Ewell and are having to travel further afield to find new restaurants It was thanks to that policy that we uncovered El Rincon at Tattenham Corner. First bonus mark was when we arrived 20 minutes before they opened and the owner welcomed us in and said they would open the kitchens early as we had to get to salsa From conversing with the owner, we found out that El Rincon has been there for 17 years and their chef is authentically Spanish. He was able to make some recommendations between the main menu and the tapas menu. Being piggy, ooops I mean, in trying to get some energy for the some energetic salsa to come, we opted for paella as well as 2 tapas dishes. Second bonus mark was a complementary bowl of manzanilla olives, which had a wonderful mild and sweet/nutty flavour. No over-salty cheap olives here and the owner gave us a bowl of free ones purely because he was proud of them and wanted us to sample them. Some lovely white and brown bread also appeared on the table at the same time Hilary chose probably the best dish of the evening - mejillones, mussels cooked in Pernod, cream and tarragon with walnuts. The mussels were nice and plump and the sauce divine with the tarragon lending just enough aniseed flavour to bring the whole dish together. The bread was heavenly when dipped in the sauce We also had albondigas (meatballs) in tomato sauce. Nice but we would have enjoyed a little more kick to it. Then the paella arrived, cooked in a proper paella pan and having taken an appropriate amount of time to cook for us to know that it was cooked fresh. The waiter brought it out on a trolley and dished it onto our plates The sign of a good paella is meant to be the soccarat (means lightly toasted in Catalan) , the golden brown crust on the bottom of the pan and you need a proper paella pan to produce it. Well, there was soccarat; there was chicken, shellfish and saffron-infused rice cooked to al dente perfection. Perfect paella Time and 2 full tummies meant that we couldn't indulge in dessert tonight but as we said on leaving tonight,"Hasta luego!" (See you soon!) Best Spanish food and service in town
