Quite possibly the worse restaurant experience of my life. I went there for a friends birthday and they had taken advantage of the Evening Standard set menu which wouldn't have been my choice. When I arrived I realised it was the old Mezzo place - Mezzo's was bad enough and this place is worse. If you idea of a good meal out is a place where you can't hear yourself think for the music and to rub shoulders with a bunch of up their own arse coke sniffers then this is the place for you. Not only did we have to wait until 22:45 before sitting down (table was booked for 21:30) the food was appalling. I sat eating a cardboard getting bashed in the back of the head every 2 mins by a waiters arse as he took orders from the claustrophobically too close table next too us. To be fair to the manager when we complained, initially about how late the table was, gave us a round of cocktails for free. After the whole experience he didn't have much choice but to give us the whole meal free. Avoid like the plague if you have an ounce of taste.
4 of us paid £35 a pop for the New Year's Bar ticket expecting the country's best Jazz Band and some fantastic Cuban/Latin music. The band played alright - for an hour from 11 to midnight and promptly packed. And then it looked like someone threw a few run-on-the mill club style CDs into the deck and went home. No live DJ, no Latin music, and absolutely no interest in keeping the crowd entertained. Cant figure out what was Cuban about all this. Rip-off. Drinks prices - rip off again. 3 diet cokes, and a shot of JD cost £16!!
The only positive thing about the night was that they had promised a table reservation for the price we paid, did not have one when we arrived, we made a fuss, and they quickly found one.
overrated placedrinks very expensivepushy valet in the mens "lavatory"control freak door men and security staff.
i stood on the front steps for a matter of seconds waiting for a friend to come out and was told "i cant have you standing there, either go inside or stand on the footpath",
i was in no way in any ones way. another inside asked us to move away from the kitchen area as the so the waitesses could get through easier. this may have be a legitimiate request but the man lacked social skills.
rather than asking us to please move to the side we got "I CANT HAVE YOU STANDING HERE". these guys have earpieces and seem to think they are members of OBAMA's security team.
please enrol in a social skills class. dont waste your time.
Was at Floridita on sat 12th Sept 2009 and it was really disappointing!
It's lost the original charm it had of the Cuban flavour. The DJ was actually playing Blues...???????/
Really! In a Cuban club. I couldn't believe it.The club used to be a hot spot for salsa dancing where a good time was guaranteed - not anymore.
Sad - very sad - don't waste your time.
Near the dance floor theres a great atmosphere. Great music, and no territorial aggression you sometimes get in London clubs. BUT be warned the 'Mojito madness' is a con.
The barman actually warned us that although drinks are half price, its also a half measure! What a con!
I was also surprised that in such a pricey club they can't get decent air conditioning, but instead have huge fans on either side of the bar - a warning to girls not to wear fly away skirts!
A good night out for the music, but be prepared to pay for it at the bar.
The worst dining/bar experience I have had in London after 7 years of living here.
I would have given it 0 stars but that was not an option.
The bar/waiting staff have a terrible attitude towards customers and rather being there to serve you, constantly tell you off for not standing or sitting in the right place.
Atmosphere was very unfriendly and pretentious.
Although might be pleasant for a couple, this is definitely not a place of group of friends to gather for a special occasion.
Music was good, place looked nice. Food was average.
One recommendation for this place, DO NOT go here. You will only be disappointed.
Floridita is an amazing experience I would recommend to everyone!! Its cocktails (esp the mojitos!!) are to die for and the food is gorgeous!!
Nowhere I've been to in London is like this place! And the Cuban band?!!? - GENIUS!
I would like to point at the manager of the club and restaurant, who if attitude very personal with people and childish, there is a problem with him every time I go to this place.
he's not professional and blames customers for his mistakes and letting people going out without paying. and blame others for it.
bit cheeky and cheap also personal attacking other customers and blame them for the bill to get away with it, calling the bouncers for every occasion to show power, bit childish ans immature.
this massage has to go up to the director and owner of the club.Thanks
