I've been going here for longer than I can remember. The food is simply superb and the atmosphere is such that you could almost be in Spain! Not sure I understand the few bad reviews as the food is really tasty and I've not actually had anything so authentic outside Spain. The staff are friendly and there's always plenty of... More

I went here the other day as have passed it many times. It always looks busy so assumed it must be ok. Unfortunately not. The food came out two minutes after ordering, which is never a good sign, and was incredibly bland. It was edible and didn't need to be sent back but it was obviously pre-cooked, pre-prepared frozen food... More

Really, it was terrible. Food was just awful. Very slow service. Bland. Can't understand how restaurants like this survive.

It's about time I reviewed Don Fernando's, I eat here several times a year with one of my best friends and we always enjoy it immensely. Tasty, fresh, authentic tapas dishes, loads of choice and a particularly delicious dessert which these days is called lemon brulee on the menu and which we can never resist! I've never tried any of... More

There was 15 of us that went here for a friends birthday. All the meals came out correct and on time and were served by very friendly staff. The food was really nice and excellent value for money. would visit here again.

Went on a quiet sunday night, ordered four tapas to start with, all came out within minuites, and were ok but nothing special, not much flavour. We were still hungry as portions were small so ordered another two. The fried aubergine with cheese and honey was lovely, otherwise food, wine, service and atmosphere were all very average.

This was our second visit here. We visited one evening with friends. The restaurant was quite full when we arrived, but were found a table very quickly. The choice of food is good and we took a while to decide which of the numerous dishes we would choose. We were not rushed at all, and the staff were very friendly.... More

Was recommened by the guy at the hotel who was Spanish. Food was average I would say but was feeling great anyway. Not sure if its connected but just spent all night having hot and cold sweats, no sleep slumped over the loo if you know what I mean! On that basis, connected or not I would avoid in future... More

I come to this restaurant on a regular basis & it never fails to dissapoint. The staff are accommodating & attentive. The food is well presented & tastes amazing there is also great variety to choose from. It is not totally cheap but definately not expensive but you are in Richmond & I personally think the food is worth it.
