Tapas Brindisa Richmond Reviews Summary

Authenticity of Cuisine

Pros:

• "Every single dish was to die for and the service was impeccable."
• "The chefs take relatively ordinary ingredients combining flavours and techniques to surprise the palate with their Spanish influenced creations."
• "The food is absolute, without any doubt delicious, honestly, better than we ever tasted in Spain."

Cons:

• "One pointer is that when I was in Madrid, the tortilla was not cooked through like it was in this restaurant- therefore I believe this dish is overcooked."
• "I'm not convinced. I get that everything is pricey these days, but this just felt a bit off! £12 for Chorizo, which was one regular sized sausage on some bean paste."
• "Unfortunately the one meal I wanted was unavailable at 1pm already."

Atmosphere and Location

Pros:

• "The view is very peaceful and there’s plenty of shade to sit beneath."
• "Location is picturesque - it's by the river and very pretty."
• "The setting, overlooking the Thames and Richmond Bridge, bathed in the glow of streetlights on this Saturday evening was utterly captivating - reminiscent of a scene from a movie."

Cons:

• "It's hard to justify going back, as nice as things taste, just because value for money isn't great and there are a lot of options out there."
• "Major downside though was the food. Ordered a cheeseboard which was £14 but it came with 3 small slices of cheese and one cracker, very overpriced for what you get."
• "The restaurant is great with a beautiful view. They have also been very welcoming for my little dog, the brought water and treats for the dog."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly and responsive."
• "Staffs were really professional and provided a detail allergic menu since I am allergic to prawn."
• "The service was impeccable. We loved the new food menu and found things everyone liked."

Cons:

• "The food is very good but last time I went, they brought all the dishes at once and just a few minutes after ordering, which really impacted the overall experience."
• "The food was tasty and good quality when it eventually arrived. First few dishes came out promptly, but then there were periods of 20-30 minutes between finishing some dishes and waiting for others to arrive."
• "Food is good but the service wasn’t great unfortunately! Got seated as a group of 5 but waited 20 minutes to even receive menus."
