The Little Basque in City of London

I took some time before I decide to leave this review, to understand if I was being grumpy or if the service wasn't worth it.I loved the food something that you will never forget. It was a Bday party (50 years - kind of a big one), we called and asked if we could bring a cake, the answer was to pay £4 per person ( is this a heist?) - defo not a great way to start, when I asked them why? The manager told me that we need to pay £4 for the plates, someone cutting the cake and the service. I told them that we could cut the cake and the manager replied: where you will eat it? (WOW - speechless).So we went there and try to forget about it, while we were hoping that might be an amazing place, but we were wrong! Terrible service and a lot of pushing on sales, if I’m not mistaken the name of the guy who served us was Leo.We paid with the service charge because we wouldn’t do that to the chefs, who let us have an incredible culinary experience, but we were close not to. After we paid we stayed a bit more and we have to ask tap water for 3 times and they just ignore our request. It was a great lack of attentiveness and a massive lack of customer service.The food in this place is unforgettable, but you might need a big improvement on the FOH. Do I want to come back? I don’t know, I don’t want risk to failing another bday or ruining one of my nights out.

Great service and great food.We had the baby squid, pork ribs and duck and they were all amazing!The wines and vermouth were simply beautiful.Planning my next visit.

Great food. Very professional yet friendly service. Good drinks. These people love what they do. Full respect. Keep up the good work. Highly recommended.

Definitely 5 stars because the cheesecake was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. I was pleasantly surprised.I also enjoyed the food and atmosphere of this place. Service wasn’t perfect. However the food makes up for it. Check out the pictures. Highly recommended venue for grassfed beef and amazing sheep cheesecake 😋😋😋💯👌🏾🤤

Sagardi has gone right to the top of my list of favourite London restaurants. We experienced great service as soon as we walked through the door and the staff were happy to answer all our questions.The premium steak was excellent and up there with some of the best I've had in London and the Basque Cheesecake was also a highlight. 5/5 can't wait to visit again.

We booked for the Sunday roast. We arrive to the place and we asked to have a look a la carte menu; when the waiter that was on service came back to ask us what we were going to choose for our lunch he started to laugh, cause we chose the Sunday roast, he laughed cause he was thinking that we couldn’t afford to pay for a la carte menu. The service was ridiculous, this guy was taking complaint from another 2 tables near to us, he didn’t care at all. First course arrive, the wine (bottle of 47 pounds ) arrive when we almost finish the food. The salad as you can see in my picture was 50% raisin, 50% all the rest. The was 1 walnut. Arrive the 2nd course, for me that I work as chef for about 12 years now I can tell you that what you call fish from Cornwall is the same the they use in the fish and chips around London, that size of cod and caratteristiche of the skin, make it clear.Meat was cold, I send it back, and the genius of the chef put all plate in the oven, my pudding was a tarte, crunchy not softy anymore. Third course? We neve received, 25 minutes waiting and we were unable to find staff around for 20 minutes. I had to stand up for ask the bill. We remove service charge and we ask to change the courses that we ordered as we never received dessert. Finally we spoke with someone that asked how the lunch was and we were able to give an explanation, an Italiano guy Alessandro that he apologised at least 100 times for how the service went, the guy know what is doing we were just unlucky that we have been served for a waiter that do not have any idea what he is doing. Probably the worst experience in London.

Wonderful lovely Sunday lunch coming to this unique Spanish restaurant with lots of good selection of beef and seafood. Ordered stuffed squid ink meal where the taste of the squid ink is amazing. Loving the grilled octopus dish which is so amazingly tender and fresh. As I couldn’t eat too big of the beef, I went with the Sunday roast beef sirloin instead. Cooked into perfection medium rare and really delicious! The only downside of the roast was some of the sides did not meet much of my expectation. The Yorkshire pudding wasn’t that brown or crispy and potatoes were not grilled or what I expected soft and tender. The courgettes were bit dry. Other than that I think overall, the service was excellent and would definitely recommend people to come here.

Great food - shame about the service.Food was good if pricey, but the service was poor. No one seemed to be in control of the dining room and I had to go and find staff 3 times, when we needed something. In my opinion, staff need to be better trained to keep an eye on the whole room and not just look straight ahead.

The steak was incredibly high quality. We also had sides including mushrooms, wedges and Swiss Chard. All were very delicious, and the staff were very warm and friendly. The wine they recommended was great too. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good steak.

Really great experience. We came for desserts and were not disappointed. The staff were super helpful. We started with the ratatouille side which was delicious, then moved straight on to dessert. The highlights were the torrija which is made with e5 sourdough and the cheesecake which was silky sheep's cheese. Everything was great.
