De Nada - Guildford

I 'll be completely honest, we went to this restaurant following glowing reviews and we were a little disappointed. I felt that the service we received wasn 't amazing and I wasn 't overly impressed with the food either. When we arrived, the waiter wasn 't very welcoming and told us to choose where we wanted to sit, he brought us menus and told us where to find the specials and then didn 't return for a while, when he did we ordered food and drink as we waited long enough that we had already decided our food order. For our whole stay we were not given table water like every other table and the waiter who served us wasn 't very polite. It was difficult to get his attention and honestly, he wasnt very approachable, we felt like he wasn 't in a very good mood! The food was ok and it did come out very quickly, which was great, but the scallops were cold and the battered squid was a little burnt. Once we had finished eating, the waiter took our plates away, we said we hadn 't received a dish to which he responded rudely and abruptly 'oh really, well that 's why I said are you done? '... surely they would know!! The kitchen confirmed our dishes were all sent, but when he came back over to confirm the dishes we ordered, there was one that definitely didn 't come out, so he organised that. This dish then of course came much later then all our others, but at least he apologised. It wasn 't removed from the bill or anything as a good will gesture, which to be honest is something I probably would have done. At this point we also asked if we could order another drink, given we had no water and hadn 't been offered another, we thought we would take this opportunity! When the waiter returned with a new drink, he took away my partner 's drink which was still a quarter full! Again, we didn 't quibble due to how the waiter was being. They offered us a dessert menu and when we decided not to have a dessert they looked annoyed... strange. We didn 't even get a thank you and goodbye when we left! I won 't be recommending this restaurant with the glowing reviews we had received about it and honestly very unlikely to go back.

What a stunning little place. Hidden away from the central high street. The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing and the selection of food on offer was epic. Definitely try the honey aubergine dish. Would go back again for sure.

Gorgeous venue! Tucked off the main hightreet, then tucked behind shops. Food was fab and very generous glass of sangria! Will defo be returning!

Very cute Spanish tapas place, kind of hard to find since its located behind the L’Occitane.

The restaurant is a lovely place, nice decor and atmosphere. The food was mostly good, in particular the patatas bravas and garlic prawns. The tempura prawns were pretty average, and the pibil pork shoulder wasn't slow cooked as expected, but actually a pork shoulder steak. The jug of sangria is very generous. The service was good and minimal, although they didn't mention the specials that they had. Overall a good experience.
