La Tasca (Canary Wharf) review by Rebecca

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed such a sudden decline in La Tasca? La Tasca used to be one of my favourite places to eat, I loved the atmosphere, the vast menu, the prices and the service.

About a year ago I noticed that the prices had been hiked yet the portion sizes and menu had got smaller. They had removed some 'classic favourites' which was extremely disappointing! Because I loved it so much I gave it 4 more chances, hoping each time they would prove me wrong.

Last night however, was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak! I will NOT be going back! Evening started well with a lovely glass of white riocha, service was friendly and efficient, then food came!

My friend ordered prawns which were white! and not cooked! She also ordered the chorizo which used to be double the size, she had about 6 bits of sausage which didn't even fill half of the plate! I ordered mushrooms which had obviously been sitting around for a while and tasted like they had been regheated and a rather dry tortilla that tasted bland.

We sent the prawns back and they returned bubbling but the oil had turned to gloop! Completely inedible! We sent them back again! and declined a further dish! When the bill came they had the cheek to try and charge us for the inedible gloop! Which of course I refused to pay for.

One positive is that they had a sax player playing live and two couples actually got up to dance! Old guys, very energetic! Hilarious!!!!

So disappointed in the decline of this restaurant!
