Really enjoyed the Fever Brunch at Salvador and Amanda. For £37, you get bottomless of either Cava, Sangria or Bellinis. The team were super generous with bottomless drinks and arrived at the table really quickly. The Spanish guitar live music was really lovely. Indoor decor was very pretty, with tables set up in little cottages with windows and roses. The food was fine, not world class tapas but absolutely great for the price. Would definitely recommend for a group brunch and would absolutely go back. Thanks Salvador and Amanda!!

First time I have visited this place. It is a fun and nice place, cool decoration. The DJ playing was not the best on the night I went and the service at the bar was a little bit slow. All the staff was nice don't get me wrong. And I had a nice night. When it comes to the prices, I know it is central London, but for the type of place that it is I probably can find 3 or 4 similar places just around the corner with more reasonable prices. Anyway, do you want a fun night out? You can consider this place if you are around.

We went there to have dinner and we were hungry after finishing because the dishes are very small and, besides, they forgot to bring us some dishes. With that high prices we thought we would get something better.
However, we stayed there when the disco time started and it was really enjoyable. We loved all the songs and atmosphere.
In conclusion, we would recommend this place if you want to dance but not for having dinner.

Visited with my mum last week. Tried a wide selection of dishes and was very happy with all of them. The Chorizo lollipops were an interesting take and were perfectly seasoned. Calamari was perfectly cooked. Lamb skewers were supremely tasty. Oh, and the Sangria was very nicely balanced, great taste. Literally the only improvement is that we would have liked the fruit to be in bigger pieces.

Visit 21st Aug 2021: So this was supposed to be a 3 course meal with a welcome drink for 5 of us. We booked it through Fever app since we had to use a voucher and the deal seemed attractive. I’ll probably give 5 star for the location but not for the live music nor the food.
Be prepared for the drinks in fun size glasses. The only picture I took was for the starter which was sharing and more to add that the dessert was shared too!! The bread to start with was extremely dry and possibly from frozen. Be mindful of the olive stones!! If I could I would skip describing the mains, absolutely not served

Let me just say hell yes!!!! I'm from Miami so obviously Latin roots in this blood!
I was craving Hispanic music my whole stay while in London and let me just say yes!!!! This place was so fun great music and nice people there. They played Salsa, regatón and top music. (The only down side is they replayed the same songs a few times but whatever!)
The security was so nice and welcoming I honestly just noticed this spot because I saw people going in or should I say down as it's a stairway down when you enter and I got curious. So I stopped and asked the bouncer what kind of music they

This is by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to.
The service was awful, took forever to serve the food, and the bartender was rude and unhelpful when asking about drinks or the dishes. We ordered paella and bartender somehow misconstrued that to mean Tuna Empanadas, so we respectfully told our waiter. The manager started glaring at us, the bartender screamed at us that we did order Tuna Empanadas and reluctantly put in our order for paella. Then they only brought one out. At this point, its been over an hour and we have had 0 food. We asked for the 2nd Paella and the waitress proceeds

A solid tapas place, better than average but nothing special in terms of food.
The space is quite quircky and good for groups.
We tried a bit of everything, like gambas rojo, pulpo galician, croquetas, patatas bravas, meatballs.
It can go on your list if you re looking for a tapas place that is not a massive chain!
I wouldnt mind going back but not dying to.

S&A is very cool space, well-decorated with interesting elements in a subterranean space of Covent Garden. Mosaicas on the walls of Spanish inspired geometric figures and winding vines encircling the gazebo in the center of the room really create a ethnic feel. I liked the fairy lights dangling from the roof of the 'chalet' which is a log cabin and the 'carousel' booth area as well. Impeccable decorations with large red columns, old-style framed pictures, vintage mirrors fixed upon a rough exposed brick gives it a rustic feel of sipping sangria in Spain.

I came here on a recommendation, and as I hadn't heard of it I was a little dubious.
When I arrived I was very pleasantly surprised! It has a dark and smokey atmosphere inside with lots of cool lighting. We arrived at 7pm which meant we had an hour to make the most of the happy hour (£10 for a bottle of rose, YES PLEASE)
There is a great selection on the menu - we got 7 dishes between us which was more than enough. Everything I ate was excellent, especially the cod balls.
Worth noting: I am writing this review based on 50% off food with a Taste Card, I suppose I may not have been quite

It was the first sunny Saturday eve of the year this weekend - so naturally we had a pre-dinner drink in the darkest basement bar in central London. Once my eyes had adjusted to the gloom - which took a good while after the brightness outside - I saw that several others had done the same thing, with most of the tables in the bar area either full of eaters/drinkers or with a reserved sign.
The place itself reminded me of something out of the medieval zone on the Crystal Maze with rough stone walls, flickering candles and red drapes. There was a distinctly fishy smell when we first walked up to

Had a great night at Salvador & Amanda, great music, reasonably-priced drinks (especially for the central location) and they keep serving food til late! That last part is a real win in my book, as I tend to be a massive grazer while drinking, and I'd much prefer to buy some small plates at the bar than have to sneak out for a cheeseburger.
We went as a group and booked an area for 15. I had to put down a £50 deposit as it was a Saturday night, but that was ok. I didn't like having to put my card behind the bar in order to get the £50 back though, that is way too dangerous on a

I'm not sure who or what this place is trying to be. I think it's a Spanish restaurant bar but there was a loud Dj while people were eating so perhaps it's a Spanish eating club?
The music was very good, so much so I had to go over and compliment the Dj on his choice of tunes. I'm not really sure what I think f this place but i wouldn't write it off. I love that it is light mostly by candlelight and I enjoyed the use of space - lots a alcoves a raised areas.
The Sangria comes by the jug, but it wasn't Sangria as I know it, this one was (I was later enlighten) Hollywood
