We booked a table at Espanol for a Christmas get together with some friends last week but we were very disappointed with the service. Our table had been booked for two months but when we arrived we were told, without any apology, that we would have to wait at least 30 mins to be seated. We were asked to leave a number and 'go to the pub for a drink' and they would ring when our table was ready. After 40 mins we still hadn't heard anything so we went back to see what was happening. After another 10 mins of waiting in a cramped corner of the restaurant we were finally seated - still with no apology for the inconvenience. The waiter then came over and said we would have to make do with only one menu between seven of us - still with no apology! So we decided to just leave. Some people seem to have had a really positive experience here but I am sorry to say that I have never experienced such a poor level of service and downright rudeness from a restaurant and I won't be going again.
