Lovely restaraunt and great service. I had the pig shoulder for starter and their AMAZING steak for main. The waiters made sure that no one had an empty glass or wanted for anything (which is not an easy task with a table of 15). One slight negative would be that there is very little choice for vegatarians and no choice for vegans! Veggies beware!

Impressed by the friendliness of the staff considering we were not really dressed up enough for the venue. It is rather corporate looking and most of the customers looked like they worked in the city.
The wine list was good and I had a better than normal Albarino, and some delicious pedrons. Squid was a bit undercooked but still tasty.
Visually not my type of place.

What a find this restaurant is. The food style is Iberian, which covers Portugal, a part of France, Spain Andorra and Gibraltar. The service was absolutely outstanding - so friendly, and the waiter went to great depths to explain where all food had come from. He also did something I'd never seen before - he outright told us to avoid one of the dishes because it was poor - got to respect that kind of honesty.
So, food was great, service was great. It was slightly on the pricey side, but other than that, well worth it.

Eyre Brothers in London is oh-so-delicious with incredibly friendly and helpful staff, lovely dark-wood and pleasant-aroma atmosphere. A friend and I did tapas lunch in the lounge (can't get them with a table) and 5 items was perfect (goats cheese, jamon serrano, grilled peppers, steak sandwich, chorizo). A bit pricey but that's because it tastes so good!

Eyre Brothers hovers between a 3 and a 4.
Cons: Overpriced for what you get for most dishes, especially on the mains. The tiger prawn dish may serve up large prawns but you only get three and the seasoning is crude. Menu descriptions versus what you actually taste leave a lot to be desired. The fish dishes were all disappointing (go to Portal in Clerkenwell instead for bacalhau and other Portugese fish dishes). The only main worth eating again was the grilled ibérico fillet with the perfectly roasted, buttery garlic.
Pros: Extensive wine list. Friendly service. The starters: Jamón ibérico bellota and foie gras are excellent. This is a better tapas plus drinks venue than a sit-down restaurant.
