2 /5 Audrey Fernandes: Second visit to Reinata, this time for Fatherās Day, was a major letdown. Despite having a reservation, we were left standing at the door for a while before being seated; took 20 mins from arrival to receive menus (and place not full). Starters were mixedāpotato bravas and oxtail empanadas were good, but the chefās tacos (Ā£13.95 for two small chips with meat) were poor value.
Mains were worse. My beef cheeks were a single small piece on mash with minimal veg. The lamb lacked the promised rosemary and garlic flavours and was just plain roasted. Yorkshire puddings were inconsistentāone missing, others barely had gravy. When gravy was requested, a salty, Bovril-like sauce was given which was not gravy! It became clear food was being sent from their sister restaurant, Rayuela, which likely caused delays and poor quality.
At Ā£150, the meal was overpriced, underwhelming, and lacked flavour. After a great first visit, this experience was a disappointment. Poor service, bland mains, and bad valueāwonāt be returning. A free coffee card as compensation just added insult to injury.
