Great fun ....like stepping into a bar in old Seville just much better food! The sherry was fun, the red wine was a poor choice. Quite expensive as we had just 4 plates but nice staff.

It was quite quiet but then again it was a Monday. Didn't really affect the atmosphere, otherwise excellent food, service, and of course, sherry. Reasonable for a tapas place too.

Drake's continues to be my favourite tapas bar, a great atmosphere, fantastic food and brilliant staff! I have also converted a friend who has said it is some of the best food he's ever tasted.

Friendly personnel, willing to answer all our queries regarding food ingredients and way of cooking. Must try the goat cheese with truffle dish. However, it is slightly more expensive than expected considering the small portions that a tapas bar must have.

Beautiful, great and quaint little hidden Tapas bar in the heart of Fitzrovia with a nice vibe and rather friendly staff. Very Authentic but a little pricey

Wonderful service- warm but excellent. The food was a cut above top tapas in London - more experimental without compromising the classics. Loved it.

Very quiet on a Monday night and service was oddly disinterested compared to last time I was there, but food and sherry were excellent. Would definitely go back.

Really nice atmosphere and lovely staff. We didn't really enjoy the sherry we had with our starter but that was probably just us - the jamon and bread was excellent and the tapas were too. Some dishes slightly better than others - pig cheeks and roasted squash in particular were really tasty. It's a more interesting tapas menu than most places. Nice Spanish red as well.

Superb selection of extremely tasty tapas! So much so it was difficult not to order one of everything (which we very nearly did). Service was exceptional - overall cannot recommend enough. I went with 3 Japanese visitors and they loved it.

Food was great, some unusual dishes like deep fried cauliflower were a surprise hit. The sherry and wine we tried were also very good - the best was the mencia red. Service and ambience were also very nice, we will visit again.

This was my second visit in as many months. The food and service are fantastic. We ordered three dishes twice they were that good... As a Spanish wine snob, the wine list needs some work.

As a regular visitor to Spain, I love tapas, and have a few favourite tapas bars in London. I have to say though, I have never tasted such amazing food as I have at Drakes, it is definitely my new favourite place! The ambience is great too and so are the staff.

this was a great Tapas bar - very authentic. We shared 5 tapas which was fine for us but it would not have been enough food for my husband! Not the place to go if expecting large meal. The service was attentive but not intrusive and the food was glorious!
