COYA City Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Absolutely loved the food here, I’ve been told it’s better than Mayfair."
• "The yellow fin tuna and prawn was beautiful."
• "The guacamole experience is great."
• "Great taste, EXTREMELY OVERPRICED for the EXTREMELY SMALL quantities."
• "The food is authentic. I enjoyed all the dishes."
• "The shared platters came in stages - a variety of seafood and meat which were super tasty and filling."
• "Food was tasty and served in good portions."
• "Varied menu. Fresh and refined dishes."

Cons:

• "The guacamole was lovely but a bit too salty."
• "The spinach salad (Espinacas con Manchego) was tasty but had too much dressing, making it overpowering."
• "The main dish (Trigo en Wok) consisted of spelt, squash, cauliflower, and fresh truffle, but it was essentially a spelt side dish with very little flavour."
• "The three starters included a corn salad, a spinach, walnut, and goji salad, and portobello mushrooms on skewers. The corn salad (Trio de Maiz) was delicious but quite large for a starter."
• "The portobello mushrooms were not particularly interesting."
• "My partner ordered the salmon, which he found bland as well."
• "The quantities were tiny, not even for one person, a lot of decoration and a lot of presentation, but they were not dishes to satisfy our hunger."
• "The beef skewers were also very tender, melt in your mouth."

Service

Pros:

• "Manager and staff were great and kindly arranged a wonderful display of dessert for us which was stunning both in site and taste."
• "The service is good."
• "The waiter suggested starting with guacamole and corn tortillas, which I thought was a good idea."
• "The service was too pushy trying too hard to continue selling us stuff - had to repeatedly say no to more cocktails, repeatedly no to more food."
• "The treatment of the waiter who served us was not adequate."
• "Very friendly waiters and bartenders that make some of the best cocktails."
• "The staff were so lovely and attentive - will definitely be back!"
• "Service was friendly and attentive."

Cons:

• "I found the service to be one-dimensional, making it forgettable."
• "When one of the waiters brought the salmon dish, she mistakenly called it tuna. This indicates a need for improved staff training."
• "Service was too pushy trying too hard to continue selling us stuff - had to repeatedly say no to more cocktails, repeatedly no to more food."
• "When we asked them to remove these additional charges the manager was very upset and came quickly to get us to pay and leave."
• "We waited for the main dish for about 25-30 minutes, and when it arrived, I was left surprised."
• "Would I go back? Probably not. Food was nice, I mean really nice but plenty of other places in London to try."
• "Service was a bit slow, but that may have been their intent."
• "The food came out really slow also but it the restaurant was very busy."
