I've been trying to talk myself out of a 3-star review because the food is definitely worth more…read more But there were a couple of small things, that together, made this less than exceptional. I was alone so booked a hightop at the bar so I didn't take a table. It was a pre-theater reservation, but had plenty of time so there was no rush. Ordered a cocktail, then a second and a glass of wine with dinner, but they brought the cocktail and wine at the same time. btw, the glass of wine that was supposed to be 175ml was definitely NOT close to that amount. I ordered three plates (it's tapas-style). All the food was amazing, but the pacing was just off. They brought two of the plates right away but the third didn't come until I had finished the first two. But the thing that really left a bad taste in my mouth was getting the check and the waiter trying to bully me into having another drink. I politely said no but he wouldn't give up, saying "c'mon the night is young" and "c'mon you know you want another" etc. Dude, I said no multiple times and I just spent $150 (£110) on a solo dinner, do you really think it's a good idea to try to push me into ordering another drink? The other little complaints wouldn't have even registered with me, and this could easily be 4, and maybe 5 stars. But at these prices, I don't expect to be bullied/shamed when trying to pay my check and makes me think the other problems with pacing and size of the pour might be normal here too.

We were seeing a matinee and this was around the corner from the theater. We slipped in for a…read morequick bite and was pleasantly surprised. Spanish & Italian tapas & wine are served in a chic setting with warm ambience. Tiger prawns came 6 to the order, grilled in a cast iron pan with a perfect garlic butter sauce for dipping. Octopus was tender and served on top of black rice cooked in squid sauce...excellent Nice find across from the Royal theater.

I am staying at the Radisson and was originally planning to hit some of my favorites in London but…read morenoticed the new hotel restaurant and read the reviews so decided to try it. The food was incredible. It is described as Peruvian/Mexican small plates, everything seems to be small plates in London these days but I'm not complaining, I like trying a few things. My first course was a crispy duck and pomegranate salad. Fantastic. The duck wasn't particularly crispy but it was plentiful and a little healthier without having a lot of skin. Pomegranates were plentiful and it definitely had some spice to it, which made me forget it was a salad. My favorite dish was short rib soft tacos. I can't describe the flavor, just a lot of wonderful flavor and beautiful short rib meat. I then had Mexican style asparagus. Also great, served on a stick (I am partial to food on a stick). Nicely grilled and with a strong but tasty sauce. Last dish was pisco-glazed smoked paprika ribs. Nice sized portion, tasty ribs. Had to try dessert and that is what put this meal over the top. I had Esfera de Chocolate, described as warm chocolate doughnuts served with dulce de leche ice cream and caramelized pistachios. Incredible. The doughnuts were actually fried pastries with a warm chocolate interior. Loved the pistachios and the ice cream went well with the warm chocolate. Food was great but almost took a star away because when I checked in, was given a Set Menu flyer for the restaurant. When I asked to have the set menu, was told it was not offered at this time. Checked the flyer again and it does not show any time or other limitations. I found it very much bait and switch but the awesome food allows me to forgive them this time. Still not a classy move.

What website accepted payment for a recommendation for this place... Londonist? Secret London?…read moreWhatever..stay away from here - the portions are ant sized (see pictures) and the overall vibe pretentious and personality-less. I can't believe how much I paid to still walk out hungry! They are also way overstaffed - so service was frequent, on the up side?
