Tapa Tapa (The O2)

The food here is microwaved garbage. Service was poor - our drinks arrived after 20 minutes and 2 reminders and after 4/6 of our tapas dishes were eaten. Yet they brazenly add 12.5% serivice charge.

We only ate some of the food because we were ravenous, and Bill Bailey was coming on stage. The mushrooms were tinned. The signature dish of prawns were swimming in oil. I would go on, but it could bore you.

If the wine had been good/plentiful I may have forgotten about the terrible experience, but they serve tiny 'mum' sized measures in Esso 80's style glasses. So I'm sober and £40 quid lighter and STILL hungry.

Please don't waste your money here. Eat a M&S sarnie on the Jubilee Line instead.

I went with my boyfriend on Valentine´s and we had a fantastic time. I was greated with a beautiful fresh rose by our waiter. We had our drinks and food ordered and suddenly the restaurant lost power at the ground level. It was very funny and entertaining. We were brought 4 candles which made our table very intimate. The whole restaurant was filled with red candles, I loved it! We were approached by the manager who explained the problem and offered two glasses of Spanish Cava which made our night even more interesting. Food was a bit delayed but it was worth waiting for.

Eating a selection of freshly made tapas by candle light is an unforgetable experience!

Went here before a Keane concert. I found it to be a very nice place with good, friendly service and excellent food. The portions are reasonable and freshly cooked. You can actually see the chefs at work in the open plan kitchen.

Well recommended, compared to the other rip off establishments nearby.
