Attended for dinner one Friday evening. A little quiet. Good food but a little expensive. Nice surroundings and the location is central. Overall it was okay

The food was very Spanish and tasty, the wines were excellent with some rarities difficult to find in London and the staff was very kind.

Have been to Bilbao Berria quite a few times over the last 2 years. Unfortunately the menu has been dramatically reduced and so has the quality and service. Shame!

Friendly and excellent service, interesting and very good wine list and genuine kitchen in a rustique but trendy and peaceful setting - exactly what we wanted a chilly October Saturday in a crowded London.

Taste was good and the atmosphere is too perfect for only four men to spend time. Risotto might be a bit too salty for British people.

Great staff great food and great experience! Just be aware that apparently when you make a reservation it's for the downstairs a la carte not the upstairs tapas dining. Would definitely recommend.

Never. Ever. Go. Here. The food here is the worst example of Spanish tapas I have ever eaten. The wine selection is terrible. The waiters are reasonably nice but generally service was hard to attract and not good when it arrived. It took 15 minutes for a glass of wine to arrive by which time the kitchen had delivered two plates. We went when the place was only about 20% full.

Beautiful and unusual decor, warm welcome, very friendly staff. The jamón serrano is cut on demand and it melted in the mouth...The dishes we shared were all delicious. Very good wine menu.

A pleasant meal with good service. Unfortunately steaks were overdone. Medium was well done and dry. They were replaced. Service was a little slow but the waitress was very helpful.

The restaurant was empty apart from us. The food was good. The waitress was on her second day. It was an odd experience. I wondered whether we had entered a parallel universe.

I don't like the changes in the menu. The old was better. Also, everyday is less quantity in the portions for the money that the food cost. Quality still good.

Some really nice dishes but some were FAR too salty, especially the pan con tomate, and the service was very patchy - they forgot to bring a few things.

Good atmosphere complimented excellent food and service. The food had a regional bias towards the cooking of Northern Spain and it was presented in great style. A good but rather expensive wine list.

The food was nice and a little different from the usual tapas (though definitely nothing like Bilbao) but over priced. Service was fine but a little pretentious.

The atmosphere and service left a little to be desired. We came early before theatre when it was quite empty but we're able to sit on a bigger comfier table which remained empty throughout our meal. The food and wine were very good, particularly the steak.

I love Spanish food and Bilbao Beria has the ultimate ambiance and decor that makes the food experience all the more pleasant. On top of it the location is ideal for a quick meal before the theatre

Lovely atmosphere and friendly service - tapas dishes were good but we ordered one of the specials (Hake Tempura) which was just pure salt and spoilt the experience a little. Management however did not charge for this dish, and we came away with an overall good experience.

Great food and kind staff although slow. They accommodated a gluten free version of a dish for me which I very much appreciated. However, they were clearly understaffed and my food didn't come at the same time as the rest. After waiting several minutes in which I had to encourage my party to start eating without me, I ended up asking what happened with my order. They apologised and brought it fairly quickly after I asked, but it was cold, it had clearly been waiting for long time to be picked up.

Great Spanish foo experience, with a minor Asian influence. Proportionate selection of Spanish wines. Quiet atmosphere downstairs on a Monday night. Attentive service. Kitchen in sight but no noise/fumes.
