We’ve eaten here a couple of times as we’ve always really enjoyed the chuletón steak. Unfortunately, it was a busy Saturday night and the tables were absolutely crammed in- difficult to get into seat and very challenging conditions for the waiting staff. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient. However, the chuletón was served blue (medium rare it was not!) a long time after the accompanying padrón peppers and patatas bravas. After sending the chuletón back, it came back marginally less bloody. We ordered another plate of padrón peppers and made do with the few now cold remaining patatas bravas so as not to have a plate of unaccompanied steak. The overall experience felt very rushed, chaotic and poor value for money. The final insult to injury is when one of the restaurant managers came round to prompt us we only had 10 mins remaining of hour 1 hour 30 slot as we were halfway through our main course (no starters or desserts ordered). She did this to an adjacent table to an equally bad reception. Despite the chuletón being of a good quality, I don’t think we’ll be back. If Lobos is intent on running this as a fast food restaurant, perhaps the prices should reflect this (over £100 for one sharing chuletón and a couple of beers did not represent value for money).

Staff friendly but had them just standing round the table, constantly trying to remove plates one at a time, spent more time with the staff than friends. Food was average and extremely small portions (even for tapas!) Overpriced and poor all round.

Pleasant, friendly service, just the right level of attentiveness; snug but comfortable table and seating, cosy but not cramped. Food was outstanding. We had charcuterie board and cheese board plus olives starter, a very meat-heavy selection of main tapas, everything was first class. Special mention for the chorizo which was sweet, tender and melt in the mouth and the meatballs. Both of these are often overdone and casings can be hard: not so at Lobos who obviously really know their food. Can’t comment on the vegetables or desserts, but our wine and sangrias were great. Overall the perfect dinner, much better than some more established London tapas places, Lobos highly recommended and we look forward to returning.

Food and service are good. However, the ambiance is a miss. The open kitchen on the top floor is not very welcoming as the place is already small with warm light decorations. It doesn’t go well with the kitchen’s bright white light. The kitchen open is too big for the place. Apart from the light, we came out smelled like food.

Took my head chef partner here for our anniversary and food was just great! Very impressed with the quality of the seafood and all the dishes we tried were 10/10. His favourite was the octopus, the prawns were also so good as well as the two steaks we got. Would definitely go back again to try more of the menu.

I am writing to bring to your attention a deeply unsettling and regrettable dining experience my party and I had at LOBOS last night. I feel it is my duty to address the issues we faced to ensure that no other customer encounters such a disappointing experience at your establishment. To begin with, the senior waitress who attended to us displayed extremely unprofessional and inexcusable behavior, which has left us with a very poor impression of LOBOS. When we were in the process of ordering our food, she not only mocked us but also rudely informed us that “we would not have the table forever” in an utmost sarcastic tone. This unprovoked behavior was not only uncalled for but also entirely inappropriate, considering we had no intention of overstaying, nor did we request to extend our time at the table. We would have welcomed a polite reminder to settle the bill if staying longer was not an option due to restaurant policies or reservations. Furthermore, her poor hospitality did not end there. While we were paying the bill, she approached us once more, this time expressing herself in an even ruder manner. We were all left shocked and appalled by her lack of basic courtesy and her failure to maintain a standard of professional decorum. I cannot stress enough how much this unpleasant encounter marred our entire dining experience. A restaurant’s reputation is profoundly impacted by the service provided, and unfortunately, our experience last night was a glaring example of how poor service can overshadow the overall dining experience, irrespective of the quality of the food. I demand immediate attention to this matter, and I expect a formal apology from the waitress involved and from LOBOS. I also believe that corrective actions, such as proper training in customer service, should be implemented to ensure such incidents do not reoccur in the future.
