Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Awful. When the manager argues with you when asking where our olives are for the second time you know this isn’t a good place. As for the octopus…..Deep fried, frozen and not good. Come on….you have rockpool (and amazing fish mongers) opposite. Get your fish...and seafood there and support another local business. As for the melanzane…..not good either. However, their garlic breads seem to be pretty good (only things actually edible). Thanks for a great date night. Never ever again.More

The food is really good but the service, not so. They seemed short staffed; they took ages to take the order and then even longer for any food to arrive and then 30 mins or more between dishes. Once we had the food, it was...undoubtably really great, I just wish it could have arrived sooner. We decided not to bother to order any more dishes and they seem to be running out of the favourites. A shame really. The food was so good that we would go again, maybe in a smaller group and sit nearer the front where it'll no doubt be easier to get the staff's attention.More

Amazing service and food. We came here for my boyfriends birthday and as there was a large group of us they put us in a separate room upstairs and let us connect a phone to a speaker and play our own music. From start to...finish the service was amazing, servers really attentive. Food was great, had lots of different tapas dishes and food came out really promptly despite how many of us there were. Would definitely return.More

Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful experience. They had space for our buggy which was great and the atmosphere was really nice. We particularly enjoyed the croquettes as they were always out of them the previous times we came, as well as the carbonara...pasta. Truly authentic Italian and Spanish food. Staff were really friendly and checked in on us at several points of the night and overall was a really good place to visit. Will defo be back!More

Having pre-booked Sunday lunch for three people we were initially rather sceptical to find we were the only diners! (another couple arrived shortly after us).However our concerns were soon allayed as the pasta dishes we each ordered were absolutely wonderful. The service was also fabulous...and we won’t hesitate to return some other time.More

Was looking forward to trying Tziganos but overall it was very uninspiring. Food was mediocre, you can definitely get better tapas with more choices & better value in many other places. Service was slow & one waitress actually came across as rude, as if she...really didn't want to be there. Most disappointing, especially in this day & age, was the total lack of accessibility of tables or facilities for those with disabilities. I have both a best friend in a wheelchair & a father with mobility issues. All the tables are high with tall chairs so not appropriate. Not sure how families with small children would fare either. Overall, we won't be going again & would recommend many better places in Blackheath to eat.More

Greeted by enthusiastic staff, the menu looked decent enough and ultimately all the dishes tasted great. Drinks were quite decent too. However, it took over 90 minutes from being seated until the main course arrived. Clearly an error in the kitchen and we were given...first drinks on the house. Staff are professional but it's hard to rate a place higher when your stomach is rumbling. Price was fair enough.More

I had a really good experience. Staff and the manager were so friendly and gave us plenty of recommendations as it was our first time trying out tapas. Their recommendations were spot on both for the food and in terms of portions. the cocktails were...so nice and the happy hour definitely came in hard! I would strongly recommend the salted caramel espresso martini because that was gorgeous! overall great experience and would definitely go again!More

We booked here as we were going to see a show at the halls. It was a glorious Saturday so the front windows were open. We arrived at 445 so it was still acceptable then to have them open but by the time we left...they should have been shut I wasn’t the warmest and it is late October. The staff (only one man on first arrival) was super friendly and worked hard to tend to every table. Sadly our only issue was the time for the food to arrive. But when it did it was very nice and fresh. We were going to have a second round of tapas but had churros instead - suggestion don’t drizzle with chocolate sauce. Perhaps put on the side - that wasn’t for me but that’s personal choice. All in all the meal was a great price and most of the food was delicious. We would go back - hoping it was a blip with the wait time and perhaps they were short staffed in the kitchen as most places struggle post covid to hire and maintain staff.More

There are so many nice places to eat in Blackheath, this is not one of them. Ordered sangria and a meat and cheese platter. The sangria came out of a jug that had been sitting on the side and just topped up with lots of...lemonade. It could have done with actually having some red wine in it. The platter was awful. Mostly salad, about 4 pieces of cheese and meat that was cheap and processed that I have never seen on any type of tapas before. I’m just relieved we only ordered that. We were able to leave and go somewhere decent for our dinner instead such as the Everest Inn. We won’t be returning.More

An interesting tapas bar & grill which we booked on their special tapas evening I like to support local restaurants but isn’t it becoming plain that many restaurants don’t have a chef in the kitchen with skills that turn out delicious food to eat &...enjoy, what they have been replaced by is someone in the kitchen that heats up something prepared many miles away possibly on the Slough trading estate! If we don’t do something about this soon London will become the heated up food capital of Europe! This isn’t a bad eating experience the staff are friendly but what goes on in the kitchen?More
