When visiting this venue on my own, in my haste I mistakenly ordered a taster platter designed for two people. It was all so delicious I couldn't do anything but make as good an attempt as physically possible to work my way through the majority of it :-) In my estimation, it would have comfortably satisfied two hungry adults. I'll have to return to sample their desserts and see if they are as good as the tapas mains.

hi been to this tapas bar several times great food and friendly staff.
I booked this restaurant for my birthday and was a little worried after reading some reviews on this site and with the fact I had messed them around with the number of people I had booked for the reservation. It was GREAT! I shouldn't have worried, the staff were lovely, great atmosphere for a Monday night. The food was delicious and authentic, we ordered off the set menu and it was plenty, we all ate until we could barely move and there were leftovers! I would love to go again with my group of friends and try it out at the weekend. Oh and to cap it off they had a happy hour on cocktails :o)
Went there with friends for some drinks on the 2/10/2010. No eating. We only ordered 3 bottles of wine. When we asked for the bill: 1. We had to wait for ages
2. We have been charged a 12.50% of service charge when it does say black on white on the bill: "12.50% service charge for 8 pax or more." We were 4 girls.
I was very disappointed with this charge and find it very sneaky, mainly when we were there just for drinks as we had to pay as well an entrance fee.
Be very careful if you go there and what they charge you for!!
Went to Costa Dorada a few weeks ago and will not be coming back. The food wasn't that bad but the portions were tiny. The worst thing was being charged 1.50 for a tray of bread. First of all, we did not order any bread and figured it was complimentary as it is in most restaurants. Second, the waiter who brought it never said it would be charged. And third, upon getting our bill we found it was 1.50, for a third of a simple french baguette? And on top, that 12.5 compulsory service charge I believe is also way out of place, being that the service is way below average: once our plates were cleared all of the staff disappeared and we had to wait ages for our bill, we finally noticed they were all at a little bar in the back of the restaurant and had to wave and even shout for them to notice we wanted our bill. I can get way better value for money and have a nicer evening if I do the tapas myself!
Service was extremely friendly, greeted by the owner on the way in and out. The food was average. If you're hungry, you would do good to stop by here and fill your stomach.
i have been on this place this weekend and i just love it we have some drinks at the bar cocktails was superb really tasty staff was friendly then we move to the table and i eat octopus on a galician stile follow by a seafood paella very nice bill was ok plus flamenco show a truly spanish experience we will come back 10 out of 10 thanks
I went to Costa for my friend's birthday and, hell was it the best birthday she has ever had. We all ordered the Tapas Menu and got stuffed up! Then we drank delicious red wine and got....lest say a bit "typsy"...and then we danced all night long!!!!!!!!! It was simply great.
The food, the service, the flamenco show (OLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) and even the other dinners who were all really friendly and into the dancing moves! My feet still hurt from all the salsa shaking and flamenco jumping!!!! Will celebrate my birthday there tooooooo!!!!!Thanks so much Costa people form making Amy's 21st the best!Emily
We went to this restaurant last Saturday for a joint celebration of my name day with my friend Nikki (it's a Greek thing...)Even though it was 14 of us the staff was attentive the moment we walked in, the food was served fast and it was delicious (try the cod it was melting in your mouth) and the live flamenco show and the live music was great.We ended up staying till late dancing away to latin sounds amongst ourselves and with follow guests we met on the night.
I even had a lady from Colombia teaching my to dance the salsa.The atmosphere was great. everyone was there to enjoy themselves and were very friendly.I highly recommend it, all my friends had a brilliant night and we will be definately going back. Very fun and different to your average restaurant and the bill was reasonable too.Nick 09/12/08
We went this restaurant recently for a joint name -day celebration with a friend.It was a wonderful evening. Even though it was 14 of us the staff was attentive the moment we walked in, the food was served fast and it was delicious (try the cod, it was melting in your mouth) and the flamenco show and the live music was great.We ended up staying till late dancing away to latin sounds dancing amongst ourselves and with fellow guests we met in the venue. I even had a lady from Colombia teaching me how to dance salsa.Great atmosphere and food. We'll be definately going back.
This has to be the most awful restaurant in London.The service is exceptionally slow, waiters are rude, and the tapas menu for £19.50 equated to about 2 mouthfuls of food per person.Rather stupidly, I though the 8 or so dishes on the menu were per person not to be shared by 4 people!!!We also were charged for replacement dishes for 2 of our table who were vegetarian! What we actually asked for was the meat dishes to be swapped for something else (ie. fish or vegetables)I would not return to this restaurant. EVER
