El Prado Bar & Restaurant

Went here last night for a meal. there were five us. the food was excellent however the service was poor. when we initially got seated we were sat on a cramped table where the table legs were in between the legs of whoever was sat at the corners. we did then moved to another table. the female serving us forgot a glass for one of our cokes. didn’t say anything just walked off. i had to ask her for another and she brought a tiny glass over. she then served our food and seemed completely disinterested in serving us. the atmosphere in there was incredibly rushed and loud. my father was still eating his starter when a waiter came over asking if we were finished. for the price of the food there you would expect the service and atmosphere to be pleasant but it just wasn’t. really disappointed.

Had a fantastic first time meal at el prado... the service was sublime, the food incredible.. reasonably priced too... i'd thoroughly recommend!

Partner and i ordered rock oysters, 4 small plates to start and two mains with an additional fillet. goat’s cheese starter was excellent, though the mains weren’t remarkable. a pleasant atmosphere, however, my partner was understandably cautioned about wearing palm angels joggers which weren’t considered ‘smart casual’. this was not well taken as there were men wearing floral shorts, females in sandals, and children rolling toy pushchairs across the restaurant floor. we are of the opinion that the social regulations regarding smart dress code should not be selective, and should extend to other facets of the restaurant (e.g., staff should be skilled and abide by standard table setting etiquette).

Went for father's day lunch. it was busy but staff were superb 👌 i had calamari to start which was so tasty a day the lemon sole for main. i am dairy free so there was no specific dessert item for me but they offered me fresh fruit and sorbet which was gorgeous. the other 3 party members had the roast and they were beautiful (2×pork, 1xbeef) starters for them was 2x meatballs and 1 melon with serrano ham - all delicious. will be back

Stunning food, fresh fish huge steak and sitting out drinking cocktails after food topped it off. staff were excellent atmosphere wonderful. highly recommended **
