First time, visited Canary Wharf branch. Arrived with no bookings and as there was space available it was easy to accommodate; although I wouldn't have minded waiting a bit in the bar with some jamon.
Service was extremely friendly. At some point we could have said that it was a bit slowish. But (and a big one), that is actually the whole point of going to this place, sitting, chatting with the waiters, asking questions about the menu and so on. So, for us no complain about it, however it you are on the rush said would say lower your expectations.
Food was outstanding, had half cheese half meat board, delicious and very tasty. We've ordered three tapas to share both of us and it was the right amount of it. Flavours again were outstanding. Last but not least, ordered one dessert each (rice pudding and Tarta de la abuela) and I do not have enough words to describe it. Simply exhuberant!
Just a comment, we had some jerez as appetizer and helped bringing the flavours together, would highly recommend it. The waitress was very helpful about finding the right one for our taste and I would say, do not hesitate to ask for advice, the team would go places to make you feel at ease.
Last but not least, I am giving 4 stars only because I think the place is about 5 to 10 % overpriced. Yes food is outstanding and the quality of ingredients is great, still it could be slightly lower prices on the food side.
Give it a try! Will not regret it!
It's good, actually very good. Probably one of the best tapas I've ever had. That said I've only been to Spain once. I was in London for business and was glad to go solo dining here. I had the following:
Octopus Gallega (Good) - very fresh octopus, though I think smoking it takes away some of it's purist qualities.
Grilled white asparagus and artichokes with aioli (Fantastic) - freshness, subtleness, and oomph of aioli makes perfect balance
Chorizo lollypops (Good) - great chorizo, and folks that liked the food battered and fried will not be disappointed
Black with Cuttlefish, Prawns, and aioli (Good) - though I feel it could have used some lemon or some other acid for better balance.
Overall great tapas.
