  Not so GREAT

  Not so GREAT!
  This was our first time being in this restaurant in Putney and also for "very" sure the Last! Coming to order the traditional spanish meal was Paella. As we were 6 of us we ordered 2x the dish so we can shear between us. It arrived with 3 large prawns, mussels, clam, fish and (frozen) peas. The taste was awful shellfish- empty I mean the meat in the shell was dryed up like a spider web. I asked to speak to the manager about the shellfish being in very poor state and he replied to me that the shellfish is not in season at the moment. The shellfish was there because it is how the traditional paella looks like and I have replied to him "so the shellfish is there for a dacoration?" YES- his reply. The price of the small portion and decoratings- sea food- costs £13. We spent £160 for something that did not have a taste not even chorizo was nice. If I may suggest to you all wanting to spend that amount of money on "such" food like here in this restaurant please go to Spain or go for Thai istead- lovely food, service and "fresh sea food".
  Thank you for taking time to read this.
  Disappointed Customer :(

  Never disappoints

  Current

  This is our local restaurant we like to go to when we want to make sure we will not be disappointed with our meal. Ole is on three floors and can sometimes struggle to fill the tables, which can make it seem a bit desserted but don't let this put you off.
  
  The main courses as well as the tapas are of excellent quality. Our favourite dish used to be the duck which is unfortunately no longer part of the menu, there are however still lots of other interesting things to try such as the rack of lamb, the sea bream or the top quality paella.
  
  The wine list is filled with decently priced spanish reds, mostly Riojas. Service is great and the restaurant - despite its modern interior - gives you a neighbourly charming feeling.
  
  If you are lucky the potatoes of the day will be the gratin which is delicious.
