Costa Dorada

Do not eat here! We spent a good deal of money on the food and drink and I wish I hadn't wasted my time and money. The food was poor, the choice very limited but worse of all the service was absolutly appauling. It took us 15 minutes to get a drink after being seated, and the reseveration was mixed up so that 6 people were without seats and had to somehow squeese in - luckly we were with a large group as the restaurant remained unhelpful!!!

I would strongly recommend you choose somewhere else to eat, this place was very poor, the food discusting and the service even worse - I will not be going back!!

I like the new look. It's worth remembering this is a late night place. I met friends in the bar for tapas on a Wednesday night around 7pm at which point it was absolutely dead (though still a pleasant place).People started appearing after about 9.00, but it seemed to be getting busy as we left around midnight. So don't go early evening if you want somewhere with a lively atmosphere. The tapas were mostly good (calamares a bit stringy) though a little on the small side for the price. Really friendly helpful barmen, a total contrast to the grumpy stuff they used to have pre-refurbishment. I would definitely go back.

We were recommended by friends and very pleased that our experience outstripped expectations. Lots of jostling added to the atmosphere, really impressed by the show and the majority Spanish occupants of the bar and restaurant. Food truly excellent, and such a surprise after many Spanish disappointments elsewhere in London. Been to 'proper' Spain lots and this reflects our experiences in southern Andalucia. Good grub, nice people, great fun and not too much damage in the wallet!

Non-smokers/ people allergic to cigarette smoke be warned! Booked a table Sat night for dinner & flamenco show. Walked in to the dark dining room and was overwhelmed by how smokey it was. It was so bad that it was literally impossible to breathe. Spoke to the waiter who said they have no non-smoking section, and that we should have asked before booking. I nodded and faked a smile and ran out of there as quickly as I could. Went over to Hakkasan, luckily got a lovely table (without reservation on a Sat night- what luck!!) and had a fantastic meal.

Really impressed, service was very friendly, food was divine and the Flamenco show amazing! The music was a little bit load while dinning and it was a bit pricey but would definately go back for some more!!

We went on a Thursday night and at 8.30pm were the only ones in the restaurant although by 9pm another three tables were occupied. The service was excellent as was the food and wine. We were right next to the pullout stage where the flamenco dancers performed amazingly but after half an hour of intense dancing we were deafened! Great to watch but not ideal if you still want to hold a conversation with your friends. Overall it was a pleasant evening but it did lack a bit of a buzz.

We booked for 8.30 on a Friday night in Feb. Restaurant was busy and food not bad. Service was rushed ... and the downside? We were packed so close to the next table you almost knock elbows when eating. The idea of rmantic mood lighting is sound, but when it is so dark you cant read the menu it kind of looses its impact! As for the flamenco, well like other reviews it never arrived.
