   The best tapas I have eaten. Lamb chops succulent, pork belly scrumptious, delicious potato bravas, and to start exquisite pickles. The food was a just brilliant. Well worth a visit...

   Great food in good location. Service a little slow is only small comment, could have been offered a drink order earlier than having it taken with food order.

   Food was great but I think they’re understaffed so the service was pretty slow especially on getting drinks - it was a super hot day and we waited over half an hour for water

   Our waitress was extremely rude and the service was poor. I booked this as our last family meal before flying home today and it was very disappointing. Won’t be returning.

   This is my favourite place to dine in London. Seafood is always fantastically cooked. The octopus and gambas are always highlights. Also the pan con tomate is the unsung hero. So simple and full of flavour. Beautiful setting and great service, can’t fault it!

   We had a really lovely meal at Bravas Tapas last night. We didn’t feel rushed even though it was very busy. Service was great and once I’d chosen a wine the waitress told us a bit about the grape. She also had some good recommendations of the food. The menu wasn’t extensive but there’s enough to select a variety of dishes to share. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return on another occasion.

   The food was spectacular and the view/set up was amazing. The food came out quick so the service was good but I felt extremely rushed and on edge as they wanted us gone by 9 pm as their outdoor area closes then.

   I am American and travel to the UK every couple months on business for the past 15 years. I love coming to Tapas Bravas because the food is fresh, and always well executed…it’s consistent. This makes it the ideal spot to book for business guests for a casual dinner/drinking session with a great view of the docks. When I have hosted Catalan guests, I have heard comments that the menu is not super authentic…but I also spend a lot of time in Barcelona and it is close enough IMO. The Iberico and cheese tapas are legit. The Pan Catalan /Pan de Tomate is not a traditional make your own at the table, but it is still delicious…could eat all day. The patatas bravas are good, but the star of the dish is the salsa brava as the potato cubes are not as large/crispy as I would like. The protein tapas that I have had are all excellent and executed beautifully: Pork Belly, lamb chops, and Octopus. My female guest last night is somewhat picky but loves salmon. The salmon tapas that were ordered were amazing and they looked beautiful, almost like a decorative sashimi appetizer that you could find in a Japanese restaurant.

    Amazing food, poor service, as always. After the first round of drink/food service, it’s so difficult to order the second round of food/drink as it’s so difficult to gain attention. You’d better order as much as you wish at the first round of order. We always come back for their food, but service was NEVER been great over years, so we will not bring our guests here nor we recommend to.

    Nasty dried out inedible food on an extremely limited menu. Not tethered to anything Spanish. The staff barely speaks English. The wine comes in a bottle, is imported, and safe to drink. Sorry, won’t be back.

    Food was tasty - we started w artisanal pickles and the assortment of cheese - loved the blue cheese! Spinach croquettas and the ribs were other notables. The desserts we had were on point as well; finished w a nice dessert wine. The crushed ice machine was broken so some cocktails were not an option. There was a fair amount of seating available when we were there from 9-10:30pm on a Saturday. Setting by St Katherine’s was pretty.

    Loved it and the food was great and hope to come back if I’m ever in the area. The only thing I would say that the sangria was lovely and refreshing but needs more flavour! I’ve had many sangrias but this did not taste like a real sangria!

    A nice restaurant in a lovely setting at St Katherine's dock but inflated price because of said lovely location. You could definitely find nicer food for cheaper elsewhere in London but a nice enough indulgence every once in a while.

    Lovely food. Like so many places seemed understaffed or overbooked. Food was lovely but service was very mixed - asked 4 times for water and finally arrived as we finished our mains.

    Food was great. Obviously very small portions so order a good amount. The oysters and the lamb were our favorites.
