Support Aqua Nueva during COVID-19
Attentive service and a lovely menu. The food was lovely as was the Albariño on the wine menu - we were at a business lunch in December- but a rather down beat atmosphere- probably due to Covid - however the staff were attentive and food amazing.
Food was top notch

After attending their sibling Japanese restaurant prior to the lockdown, I decided to try out the Spanish cuisine they offer. Due to various traffic issues and road closures I was running late and contacted the restaurant to let them know. They were very helpful and told me not to worry and that they would hold onto my table for me till I was able to arrive. When I arrived I was surprised to find it was busy and yet they were still able and willing to keep my reservation. We were seated and promptly had the menu explained to us by the waitress. We went for the set brunch menu. The food and drinks we ordered arrived promptly. The food was all excellent and the service attentive.

Our meal at Aqua Nueva was a wonderful surprise - it was so much more than we'd anticipated, made even better by the friendly and professional service (Jose was very helpful with our wine choices). The sunset menu was fantastic value for money and not only were the flavours complex and exciting, but the presentation was high-end, making each dish's arrival really intriguing. We will certainly return.

My wife and I booked a table early, 15:45 on a Wednesday, so the restaurant was very quiet as we expected. The meal was absolutely delicious, crab tostadas, great croquettes, suckling pig and short rib beef. Very good indeed.

First to mention is Laura, who was an impeccable server. Warm, polite and a pleasure to be around. We felt sohappy around her - which doesn’t always happen.
The food was delicious. Black seafood croquettes and scallops ceviche were a revelation! Really glad we came and they are well set up for COVID-precautions.
Thank you!

The food was too expensive for the portion it serve.

Nice food and a nice setting in a central location. The food tasted as good as it looked and was served quickly and politely. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive. The small plates were nice and sufficient, the desert, like many great performers left us wanting more.
Really cant fault our experience here. The room is very sleek, quite dim lighting but it wasnt a problem for reading the menu (as others have mentioned), and nice ambience.
We used the Open Table offer that was choosing 3 dishes each and you get a cocktail (you dont get to choose, it, but it was very nice) for £29pp. There are 6 dishes to choose from and the waiter recommended that we choose 1 of each and have 2 of the short ribs (as there were 2 of us, so 6 dishes total). We were going to order something extra from the a la carte too, but the waiter advised that the 6 would be plenty and it definitely was! Service was helpful, prompt and friendly
There wasnt one dish that i didnt like or that was sub-par, it was hard to choose a favourite, but it would probably have been the black croquettes with aioli.
We went for a drink in the bar afterward, the terrace was really nice, views of london eye and regent street. Overall, fantastic, great value, great food, great service
A sincere thanks to you for sharing such lovely feedback of your recent experience at our restaurant. We were delighted to read that you enjoyed the set menu. Your kind comments have been shared with our senior management team. We do hope you’ll come visit us again soon!
Outstanding Spanish Tapas served in a large dining room atop Regents street. Service was excellent and complimented the food.
The squid with hummus was a firm family favourite as were the croquettes.
Not the cheapest in town but for quality service and ambience certainly one of the best Tapas in town. We will be back :-)

After booking online and having to secure the table with a card which we were told would be charged in the event we cancelled we went even though my partner was ill. The restaurant was not even half full. We asked for the special menu but weren’t even given a cocktail menu so ordered a la carte. Food was ok but over priced in my opinion
Wouldn’t go back

Friday night bliss! Cracking venue in a superb location. Atmosphere was perfect for a Friday evening meal. Broad menu catering for a Vegan friend and three meat eaters. Ordered multiple dishes and none of them disappointed! Stunning stylish take on traditional tapas, well balanced and textured. Couldn't recommend more, just watch out for the wine menu! Unless you like 14% wines!!

Had dinner with my partner. Very enjoyable. The ambience is very good and the food and service are excellent.
This is the second time I came here. I really love the ambiance, the people, music and foood. The food is really lovely for sharing. I do find it a bit pricy but the wine (Malbec) was great.
We arrived early for a pre-theatre dinner, so the place was quite quiet. The food arrived very promptly and was very good, whilst the service was very attentive

This restaurant has been my bedrock of reliability, with quality service and excellent food, for 15 years. I hadn’t visited in over a year because every time I tried to book they were closed for a private event. When the stars finally aligned... WHAT a disappointment!! The menu is now VERY limited - usually a sign of a freshly prepared and constantly changing menu, but in this case the dishes were tiny, quite underwhelming, and very overpriced. I have been to this restaurant at least 20 times, and I honestly wanted to cry seeing what it has become. It was the emptiest I have ever seen it, so I’m not the only person who has noticed. So sad. I will not be returning to Aqua Nueva. It feels like the end of an era. I can only pray that the renovation of Aqua Kyoto doesn’t ruin it, too.

Our senior management are looking into this matter Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your comments.
Excellent food and attentive service in stylish surroundings. The atmospherics, though, do make it hard to hear your waiter properly, which was to our cost. If you have a big appetite you will need to order several dishes as portions are rather dainty, as you might expect from a tapas menu.
