                                          Our part of 4 had a great time at Exchequer last night. There was a great buzz in the restaurant, which was full, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. A decent wine list with very good wine by the glass options, and overall, it was good value for money. The food was generally very tasty, with decent portions, and we shared 8 dishes plus a dessert each amongst 4 people. The only mediocre dish was the Potatas Bravas, which I felt was unimaginative and rather bland. It's my first visit, but I'd definitely go back again

                                          Foos was great, service was good - we had an issue with the wine tonight which was dealt with really well. Looking forward to getting back!!

                                          Only ordered a few dishes but we all (4) thought the food was bland. Meatballs were fine but the sauce not particularly nice or anything like a flavoured tomato based sauce you would not get in a good tapas restaurant. Pil pil prawns again pretty bland and lacked any flavour. Slow cooked beef cheeks cooked perfectly but again the sauce let it down. And some of the potato chunks in the patatas bravas were semi raw. Sorry to be so negative but just felt that flaps such an important part of tapas and I can’t in all honesty identify one from the dishes we were served. Service extremely friendly and genuine and love the ambiance
