3.5 Picaderos Argentinian Grill & Spanish Restaurant 3.5 star review:
Went here lastnight, lovely atmosphere, really cosy. The girl who approached us asked if we had a table booked, we hadn't, and she just walked away leaving us standing there. Then a man came over and showed us a table. Had a lovely carafe of red house wine, himself had a beer. We had tapas, 5 or 6 of them. The prawns were very disappointing, thought the mixed platter wasn't great either, no mixed spicy olives, we were left short the crackers and grapes for another tapas dish. This is the second time we've been here and the food is just ok. Service not fantastic either. And the bill was €71.00, thought it was a bit steep. Would not be in a hurry to return here.

I really like this place. The atmosphere was really nice with candles and dim lighting. The majority of the staff were Spanish so it almost felt you were abroad, also the staff were friendly. They had a fantastic range of vegetarian dishes to choose from and it all tasted great. The only thing I am taking points off for is because they forgot to deliver one of our dishes (the place was extremely busy) but I would definitely go here again as you get what you pay for and they have a good range of wines to select from.

It was my second time here. Me and my partner love it. It does be packed at the weekends always a good sign and you would need to book a table for a Saturday night. The menu has plenty of choice.
I got the mixed platter everything was lovely on it , it was massive though it would do 3 people for a starter. I got the ribs and my partner got the steak for mains both were excellent. The chips are really good.
Deserts are good the first time we were there my partner got the creme brulee and it wasn't great but I got it on our return and it was lovely. We got the early bird menu which is great value for money the only draw back I find is that the drink is on the expensive side especially the cocktails.

My partner and I visited Picaderos for lunch and we were really pleased with our meals.
We both ordered a variation on the tapas platter, and everything we got was delicious. I especially liked the meatballs. The real highlight for us was our desserts (churros and ferrero rocher cheesecake), which were the best I've had in a long time.
At times the service was a little on the slow side, but we weren't kept waiting too long at any point.
Overall, a really enjoyable lunch where we weren't rushed and with nice ambience and decor, and we'll definitely return.

Four of us went in here on a Friday evening, place was full and great atmosphere. Guy playing guitar, great to have a bit of live music. We had a booking and the rest of the tables were full. Starters were delicious, nachos and a combination platter. Then I had the chicken Lanzarote, which was ok, chicken with a creamy sauce that had a hint of curry powder from it. Himself had lamb shank, said it was ok, but nothing special. One friend had paella, that was delicious. Other friend had a burritto and said it was alright. Desserts were awful, i had churros, very greasy and the sauce was tasteless. Two of the others had the creme brulee, and it was horrible, tasted like rice pudding. The two of these were left and when the waiter cleaned the table I was sure he would ask why they were not eaten but he didn't.Not great service.

You have got to try this place.... can't rave enough about it. Have been twice now and both have been great experiences. Menu is huge which can be a bit daunting at first, went for the monkfish which was sublime. Nearly didn't talk all the way through my mains as it was so good. Also went back for lunch with work one day and they do a great lunch menu, decent portions, very good value. Staff were lovely and well organised. Buzzing atmosphere and there was a spanish guitarist the night I was there. They do themed nights as well, so can't wait to try the Paella night. Can't wait to go back !!!

We went to this restaurant on Sunday for the all day early bird. When we arrives the staff were friendly and showed us to our seat and gave us our menus. There was a lot to choose from we ordered and the food arrived out hot and there was plenty of it. The food was gorgeous. The only down fall was when we had finished our meal we were left sitting for ages as a large group of 8 people came in and the staff seemed to be more worried about them than us! I had to go up to the counter to get my bill we would of ordered desert and coffees but we were waiting too long. Overall food was fab but service needs to improve!!!!

The fillet that wasn't!
Poor quality ingredients leading to poor quality food! Myself and my boyfriend went to this restaurant and got the mixed platter ,steak (two fillets)and chocolate cake. The mixed platter was poor, the so called fillets were grey with a layer of fat in the middle it did not look or taste like a fillet. All of the food looked and tasted like it had been frozen- not fresh! Also it was over priced for the quality.
