Carmen Tapas - London

I ordered a steak, but it was served raw and I was unable to eat it. Despite having two waiters, neither of them inquired about the issue or how I prefer my steak cooked. I received no inquiry from either of the two waiters about what was wrong with the steak I couldn’t eat. If I could rate this restaurant with a negative score, I would give it a minus 5.

This charming restaurant has a great atmosphere that is perfect for conversation. We shared the squid ink and prawn paella, which was both delicious and filling. The olives were exceptional and a must-try.

I suggest that the chef should visit Spain and taste authentic Spanish cuisine, as our experience at this restaurant was a disappointment to the Spanish people and their culinary traditions. The waiter neglected to inquire about our preferences for how we wanted our meat cooked, resulting in us leaving most of our meal untouched. Furthermore, the waiter failed to inquire if there were any issues with our meal.

After a long time we decided to visit this restaurant; Did not have a reservation, so my husband and I was pleased that there was a table available. We was served quickly and so was the food. Food was unfortunately bland, no taste, no flavouring. The sea bass was incredibly tasteless. The so called pasta was rubbery. Jug of sangria was decent enough!!! Price £75.00 (including service charge). Very unlikely, we will be coming back again!!!

TL:DR If you not booked you give a old iPad and expected to fill in your person detail, email telphone number before you can sit down. When asked why they say will send you a link to review site where we like you to review the food you not eaten, there no mention of how long the hold your data or GDPR. The food is ok not a lot of flaour. but you have to be paitent when ordering your food, I had to repeat my order muliple time. I would advice to order a few tapas as the paella can take 40 mins to cook and arrive. The portion size smaller than what you would get in Spain/ Balearics. I asked if the Seafood paella had **** mean in it as I am alleric and the waitor could not tell me. I object to having to fill in my contact deatils on an ipad in order to get a table in an empty restaurant. A review is ment to be helpful and independent not an requipment to get a seat. They should check withthe ICO about the way in which you require consent for public data.
