Salt Yard

Food was good ..However little effort was made to ensure we had a great time.. quite annoying when you order a bottle of wine and are told by the waitress to wait to be moved to the bar by her and then rudely told by an arrogant Manager to move to the side because the bar is full and the table is booked later. Bad organisation and arrogance always leaves a bad taste in your mouth.. makes you want to forget the whole experience.

Came on a weekday evening and sat at the bar. Place was packed and buzzing with conversation. Was served by friendly waitress. Enjoyed an excellent glass of Italian wine that was on the specials board. The food was really delicious. I ordered the courgette flowers, grilled chorizo and a wonderful mackerel tartare which was surprisingly good and the equal of dishes in far fancier eateries.

Good place for a casual bite although it's very cramped and noisy.

I used to eat at Salt Yard - or The Yard as I like to call it - all the time, but hadn't had the chance to go in a while. So it was very nice to return last week and find things just as good as I remembered them. And that is very very good indeed. It's just a brilliant spot all round. Seriously good food (I'm obsessed with the croquetas), great wine and a lovely unpretentious feel which is buzzy at the same time. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I had a wonderful time at Salt Yard last week, having heard great things about it but never having gone before. My friends have all raved about it being their favourite tapas restaurant in London, so I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype.

It totally lived up to it, and exceeded my expectations in the food stakes. The stuffed courgette flowers were simply outstanding, as were the morthia (sp?) croquettes which were unusual and superbly tasty.

The atmosphere was buzzy and the service was really efficient and friendly, and the waitress gave great advice on the wine (which sadly i can't remeber to recommned but it was the perfect compliment to the food on a hot day).

All in all a superb meal and can't wait to go back - am already planning to return next week. Thoroughly recommend it - amazing food, great service and wonderful atmos.
