Went for afternoon tea with the family. The food is excellent and the quality and range of green tea's are superb. The service is not very good though. I kept asking for water and after asking for the forth time I went and got it myself from the bar. It is a mystery to me how varied the service can be when the food is so great and actually pretty reasonable priced.

Salvador & Amanda - review by martinsmac

Dull food, with the taste of cheap ingredients. The Bravas was a thin tomato sauce with nothing brave about it.

There are so many better Tapas bars in London. This is probably great for groups to drink large amounts of Sangria, but is not recommended for anyone who thinks a Spanish restaurant should serve Manchego rather than unspecified 'cheese.'

Hakkasan - review by missynm

Yes its pretty pricey, but i'd say you definitely get what you pay for! An usual setting, Hakkasan is to be found down a side street of tottenham court road, very discreet. You are greeted at the door and make your way directly down steps into the basement of the building. Service is equally discreet but friendly and attentive. The way the restaurant is set out with decorative wooden screens separating the dining and bar areas work really well and even though the place is noisy (seating a couple of hundred people) the low lighting and choice of music creates a sense of privacy at your table. And the food completely matches up to the setting. The dim sum platters are great as is the clay pot poussin. I guess its possible some customers are pretentious types but if you pay attention to the environment that has been created rather than those sat at other tables i dont see why you wouldnt have a fabulous time. Perfect for a special occasion.

I found Salvador & Amanda through an offer on After Work Deals - we got a free jug of Sangria between a group of four of us whilst having dinner, it definitely made a great start to the night.

My first impression was surprise, I'd walked past S&A loads of times before and I had no idea that there was such a large venue underground. It's well decorated in a fairly typical tapas restaurant style, and there's a real buzz about the place.

Service was really fast and friendly, and they made some great recommendations from their tapas menu. On the whole, the food was very good although it was a bit on the expensive side and I certainly couldn't describe the portions as generous! And the After Work Deals offer certainly helped manage the cost. Nonetheless, for the overall atmosphere I would still recommend Salvador & Amanda.
