We sat on a table by the bar and the food and drinks were great but the service was very slow (didn’t really feel looked after). However, The servers were very polite and tried to be accommodating when they did make it over to our table. It was the perfect place to have drinks and small bites with friends.

The food was excellent and all of us enjoyed the meal immensely. The service was very courteous, efficient and good; we all had a most enjoyable family meal/celebration. The restaurant was slightly darker than I had anticipated but our table was well placed- enough room to sit comfortably and the noise levels were pretty good for a crowded dining area. I was very happy with my choice of venue for an important meal!

An ok place but over priced for what it is . Not bad but for the prices being charged the food and ambience should be special. Sadly it is not. The doors on the toilets bang every time someone uses them and can be heard very loudly in the dining area upstairs Maybe that’s why the background music is also to high? Wine very much overpriced If you are young and don’t have a lot of dining experience then you might think it’s ok.

Great upscale takes on traditional Spanish dishes. Good variety of starters besides ham. The pork and lamb entrees are as good as found in Espana. A bit trendy but it is Mayfair. Wine selection is pricey but good Spanish varietals.

We had amazing starters and some good cocktails but the actual main course was very poor. The grilled octopus was so chewy it was almost unbeatable and the lamb was mediocre. If this was a cheap restaurant you could understand but it isn’t and left us disappointed.

My husband and I wanted to have a special night last Friday. We decided to go to El Norte like 20 min before going out. They had only seats at the bar. But it was the best decision. We got to speak with Joao who is an amazing mixologist but as well knows a lot about food. The croquetas de jamón are the best we have tried, not even in Spain we have found better than these ones. The tuna with salmorejo was very good too. The wagyu burger was amazing. The cocktails made by Joao really good and the wine very good too. In all we had a great night at “El Norte”.

Lovely meal. Beautiful setting on a sunny day in Mayfair. Ordered the patatas bravas that never came and was charged to the bill apart from that and the slightly long wait to order it was a good experience.

Food was very good and of high quality. I thought the table service was poor and staff were somewhat surly, borderline unhelpful. The decor and ambiance was not in keeping with the cost of the experience. For £130 a head I would expect and have experienced better.
