Salt Yard - London

One of the best restaurant in London! Very good service and perfect food. If i Came black again in London, the first restaurant i ll reserved is this!

My wife and I have been here a few times over the years and always had a good experience, but sadly not this time. We decided to have lunch here on Sunday, 15 October. Although the food was good the service was very poor. One member of staff appeared to have a lot that he wanted to say to his colleagues. As they were stood within earshot of our table we couldn't help but overhear everything that was being said, which is not conducive to a pleasant dining experience. We have no interest in hearing about his latest staff appraisal, or anything else that was on his mind. We were offered the menu to choose a dessert, but even though we waited for a considerable amount of time the waiter did not return to take our order. In the end we had to interrupt the chat that was going on behind the bar to request the bill. We removed the 12.5% service charge from our bill as the service was so poor. Disappointing, as we had previously enjoyed coming here on previous visits. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. Also, the hand dryer in the gents WC wasn't working so I would suggest leaving some paper towels out until you get it working again.

The food is pricy and quality is not up to standard. Service is slow . Not recommended. Total bill £62 a small glass of wine 125 ml £7.70) 4 tapas

The tapas which I ordered were really awful. The ham croquettas were minuscule and not heated properly they were tepid (we ended up with stomach upsets later that night). The grilled cuttlefish did not show many signs of being grilled it was also barely warm. The lamb was as tough as old boots, chewy and sinewy. Having said this the patatas bravas were fine, as were the churros, and the vegetarian options my wife had were OK. The prices are excessive for the size and quality of the food. I left feeling extremely disappointed as I had read lots of good reviews for the food. We have a tapas restaurant near our home which knocks this one into a cocked hat. Don't bother unless you have deep pockets and don't mind under heated food.

A friend organised for a group of us to come here. I had never heard of it before, but I’m glad he chose it. I had a really enjoyable time catching up with old friends and eating and drinking tasty food and wine.
