Morito

"I've been here before in 2020 and also the Exmouth location and have really enjoyed the food. However, I feel like the standard has dropped given there were lots of misses in the dishes and the service was also up and down. We came as a group of 7 for a friend's birthday. The waitress gave us suggestions on what to order which was helpful and we took her word for it. We shared the olives, padron peppers, cured trout (not bad), labneh with braised winter greens (really good), bitter leaf salad (nothing special), deep fried aubergines (delicious), patatas bravas (soggy and not great), cuttlefish and prawn black arroz (flavour was off), cauliflower and squash (not worth getting), slow braised pork with jerusalem artichoke and confit leeks (favourite dish - pork was tender and amazing flavour), duck breast with beetroot borani (not bad), lamb chops (good) and the chocolate and olive oil mousse with hazelnuts (it wasn't a mousse and really hard and drenched with olive oil so not great). We also ordered 4 bottles of wine. The waitress was slightly over the top and intense especially when we were trying to make our wine selections but as she was helpful, we left it. However, when we were paying the bill, she made an off hand comment about tipping extra - we didn't tip extra given we were paying the 12.5% discretionary service charge anyway. When we were leaving, I said thanks and goodbye but she blatantly ignored me (probably as we didn't tip the extra) which was rude and this left a really bitter and sour taste in our mouths. I definitely won't be rushing back."

"This place likely needs no introduction, being part of the London restaurant scene so long it may as well be part of the furniture. A very popular spot, the place is always busy, but they provide ac wonderful stay off plates and have a great wine list which will keep even the most discerning client happy. For a decent, casual, if not cheap meal. Morito is definitely worth a visit."

"This is an old favourite and you can’t go wrong. The flavours are just so delicious, fresh and contrasting. The wines are available by carafe and bottle. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend this spot for a night with friends or a date night!"

"Stopped by here for a light lunch and was really impressed at the level of craftsmanship that went into some of these dishes. Not to be overlooked, the fried aubergine was superb and showed a high level of creativity. Would love to come back and try some of their other dishes"
