Costa Dorada Spanish Bar & Restaurant

A dreadful experience has ensured I will never return.

Although I have have enjoyed this tapas restaurant in the past, we were there yesterday and it is not as before i remember kevin the manager and all the old staff more professional and friendly

-expensive

- microwave food

-unexperienced staff

Place to avoid.

Been to this resturant a few weeks ago food was great. Service not bad but thought salsa lessons going on when I am eating not good.

Great for Costa Dorada.. I was celebrating my birthday last week, I have 20 friends for dinner, we really have a splendid time there, food was incredible even for a Spanish standards ( I am from Madrid) the service was the best we could demand they even brought the cake to the table at the right time. the flamenco was marvelous and the Music is even better a bit of everything so we were able to dance all night .

for me the place deserves a 10/10

the food was really over priced and portions extremely small.

the flamenco show was of poor quality and only one show of about half an hour.

very disappointed in the value for money, the paella was extortionately priced and quantity very small.

i had in past years frequented this restaurant many times but i will not be going to this restaurant in the future, would not recommend it to anyone.

This place is not as it was before. I used to go out here a lot and i went last weekend, it was awful. They try to mix the club with the restaurant which will never work the way they do it. Apparently ownership or the management have changed and this is not the place it used to be, this is not spanish place anymore. It is full of south american kids and dodgy faces. At least food was ok, flamenco was the same but what's happening after it's just sad. Some very rude people were pushing my friends inside like they want it to start the fight or show off. I have asked the barman about this things and he told me that there's nothing they can do as they just work here and wait for the end of shift. I will avoid this place in the future.

I'm Spanish and this is the worst "Spanish restaurant" I've ever been... It's really expensive, the food is extremely small, it's not worth it at all. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. It annoyed me so much that I didn't stay to see the show. Furthermore they don't allow you to pay separately, all the table must pay at once, they have a minimum to pay with card, and they didn't tell us that they charge you an extra for the show from 9pm, in the menu they say that they will charge you 2. 50 pounds for the show plus a 12% extra on your bill for the service. Some friend of mine arrived at almost 9pm and they were told to pay 5 pounds for the entrance, and that they will charge us(without any notice) 5pounds each for just be there, and there was no show yet. The place decoration was awful, the lighting as well, there was no people at all, I couldn't even hear the music. I'm really disappointed.

Have been there a week ago, brilliant food, nice flamenco, the worst is the DJ that they had after! cumbia, bachata, merengue, salsa, NO SPANISH MUSIC!! he does not quite get that when the dance floor gets empty it is probably because the music is not that good!
