About

It’s like Back to the Future at this addition to the El Vino wine bar chain, such is the contrast between the contemporary looks of the Mason Avenue branch and the ye olde tavern-style interiors of its elder siblings. This place echoes a modern hotel bar, with a backlit display of wines behind the mosaic-patterned bar, and nude-wood floors, flattering lighting and pops of colour from marine-blue leather chairs brightening up the laid-back dining area. The extensive wine list brings together good-quality bottles from all over the world, with a particular focus on Spanish, Portuguese and South American styles; it offers enough variety - from cavas and sherries by the glass, to big-hitting bottles of premium Riesling and premier cru Bordeax - to satisfy most levels of wine buff. Don’t miss the tapas menu, featuring highlights such as flavoursome lamb and serrano ham meatballs, and tender octopus braised with chorizo, tomatoes and basil.

Ok but needs to improve!

I met a friend here for lunch. Not a good start as they didn't have my booking through Square Meal, though it didn't matter as we were the only ones there on arrival! Luckily a few more people arrived, though it could hardly be described as buzzy! At 12.30, they were still scraping chairs on the floor to reconfigure the tables, rather annoying and a lot of unpleasant noise! I had to ask to be served and order drinks, though after that, the service did get better, and we had quite a nice server. The food was quite good and we shared a number of tapas dishes, followed by a cappucino. I was rather surprised when I order a second coffee to be asked if I would prefer an expresso, or a coffee with soya milk! It turned out they didn't have any more regular milk, however they did go round the corner and buy some more for me!!! But the impressions weren't great, and not sure I will rush back!
