The restaurant appreared HUGE to me, that said, the service was absolutely impeccable. Very attentive. We chose a selection of the Tapas, again, 10/10. There's some almighty talent in those kitchens! Not only beautifully presented, it was definitely a treat for the taste buds. Only downfall, for me? The music, whilst great selection, was just too loud for the dining area. Fabulous location, so lucky for a clear, mild evening for the roof garden!
Me and my partner celebrated our anniversary here. Our table was initially cancelled minutes before the booking which shocked us but the staff listened to us and put back our booking after confirming it wasn't us who they just talked to about cancelling the table(?).
We were shown to our seats which I requested to be near a window and was granted so that was a plus. We were greeted by our server but the music in the restaurant was so loud almost worst than a pub that I couldn't hear him. It was very dark inside as well so we almost couldn't see the menu.
After ordering, service was fast and food was delicious. Maybe a bit too overpriced because of the serving? We ordered
1 still water : Costs £4.5!
2 Bellinis: Very good and strong alcohol
Souffle omelette: Mediocre lukewarm omelette
Croquettes: Good serving and tasty
Crab tostados: Delicious but 2 pcs of tostados for £14 seems like overkill
Beef short ribs were amazing. Definitely recommended.
Goat's milk flan with ice cream and candy floss: Was a treat to the tastebuds
We were surprised with a "felicidades" micro cake which was a plus.
In total we spent around >£100 including the 12.5% service charge.
Aqua Nueva: A Tapestry of Flavors and Elegance
Located in the heart of London, Aqua Nueva is a culinary gem that takes your taste buds on an enchanting journey through Spanish cuisine. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the sophisticated ambience and warm hospitality.
The culinary adventure commenced with a delightful selection of tapas. The Rustic Tomato Bread was a divine introduction, boasting a crusty exterior that gave way to a soft and flavorful centre. The Padrón Peppers, grilled to perfection, provided a delightful zing, while the Truffle Croquette was a heavenly symphony of earthy aromas and velvety textures.
The Black Seafood Croquette was a true revelation, filled with succulent treasures from the sea. Every bite unveiled a medley of flavours that danced upon our palates. As the tapas continued, we were treated to the Roasted Delica Pumpkin with Artichoke Mayo, a harmonious blend of sweet and savoury notes. The Pearl Barley Risotto with White & Green Asparagus showcased a delectable combination of tender grains and crisp asparagus, leaving us craving for more.
The main course was a celebration of seafood mastery. The Creamy Mackerel Escabeche, delicately marinated in a tangy sauce, perfectly complemented the tender baby carrots and delicate herring caviar. The Cod Tempura, with its light and crispy batter, showcased the impeccable freshness of the fish, harmonizing flawlessly with the basil and red pepper sauce.
Dessert was a grand finale that left us in awe. The Seasonal Fruit Salad, adorned with vibrant sorbet and luscious mango-passion fruit sauce, provided a refreshing and invigorating conclusion to the meal. The Pistachio Churros, accompanied by a velvety dark chocolate sauce, were an indulgent delight, each bite revealing a tantalizing crunch followed by a burst of nutty sweetness.
To accompany our feast, we savoured the enticing mocktails. The Pink Paradise, with its refreshing blend of watermelon, pink grapefruit juice, and invigorating mint, was an oasis of flavours. The Lychee Lemonade, tingling with the tanginess of lychee juice and infused with ginger and lemongrass cordial, was a rejuvenating elixir. The Apple Mojito, with its crisp apple juice, zesty lime, and effervescence of Fever-Tree soda water, added a lively twist to our culinary experience.
The service was excellent. Magdalena and Ciprian were both fantastic. Magdalena made some great recommendations.
In conclusion, Aqua Nueva is a haven for food enthusiasts seeking a refined and vibrant dining experience. With their impeccable attention to detail, masterful execution of flavours, and ambience that transports you to the heart of Spain, Aqua Nueva has truly earned its place among London's culinary elite.
We are surprised that there were only three tables having dinner in this magnificiently tasty restaurant. The reason could be that the address of the place is wrong, it is not on Regent’s Street.
The food was exquisite, the service was great also and very friendly. I would definitely recommend and I would go back again.
Great style and decor. We were welcomed on arrival and then after drinks on the terrace shown to our table. As we were there for our wedding anniversary it was nice to be made to feel special. The waitress was excellent and explained some of the dishes. Food was very tasty.
The staff are friendly and provide excellent service.It was a very quiet lunchtime so there wasnt the restaurant buzz to feel that comfortable congenial atmosphere .Sadly the food did not measure up .The tomato bread was disappointing as not anything out of the ordinary .The paella was flavoursome but we were advised there would be enough for 3 as it was very rich .The portion each amounted to 3 mouthfuls .
This was to be a special birthday treat so am sad it was not to expectations .
Our experience was first class. We were celebrating our son's 40th birthday. The staff were professional friendly knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely afternoon
The food was delicious and well presented . The Manager on the night was very pleasant and accommodating. Recommend
An absolutely beautiful meal in a stunning setting; on the roof top in the sunshine. The food is high quality and original without being pretentious. It really is Spanish with a difference. We had the ‘menu experience’, which- for the standard- is good value. Great service from all, especially the bar staff. I will definitely be returning to Aqua Nueva.
Our server Patrice was excellent.
We had the pre theatre tasting menu and every dish was delicious! The cocktails were excellent too. Loved the whole experience
What more can I say, fantastic food , service and ambience. Really can’t fault this lovely restaurant. Will return
Amazing service, expected more taste in the plates but overall it was good.
It was quite loud in the dining area due to gatherings at the drinks section and later the dining area became loud too because of the music...
What an amazing experience we had here last night! Service and food was exceptional, will definitely be back!
