   Poor service made this a very disappointing first experience of Cadiz restaurant. Despite there being only four covers at any time while we were there, the service was unexplainably slow. The service staff/manager lacked any attentiveness and friendliness and an adjacent table also complained to us of the same thing having waited an age to get their drinks. Before even having time to look at the menu, we were offered bread and olives to which we said yes but found out afterwards come in at a price of £9!!! The olives arrived, but we didn’t see the bread for 15-20 minutes despite reminding the staff. We you even suggested cancelling it to replace it with something else from the menu, but was told it was already in the oven! However, a couple arrived after us short after they sat down and long before us. Throughout the evening we had to approach the waiter/manager to chase our orders while he sat at his laptop at the bar at the bar. From a food perspective, the food was generally okay and as others have mentioned the pork cheeks are very good and I enjoyed the patatas con huevos y jamon. The jamon croquetas, which are usually a favourite tapas of mine, however were disappointingly stodgy and dry/pasty. If the service had been better, we may have considered returning as we’re always looking for opportunities to support local restaurants. But based on this experience it’s unlikely I would recommend returning to Cadiz which is a real shame really as it doesn’t take much to be more attentive to your customers.

   went here with work collegues, was greated by very friendly staff and their very young helper (baby daughter ). Never pushed to order or rushed. The food was excellant, as was the service and as was the price. Another plus point there was no service charge added to the bill.

   Very good food as normal .....but just one thing .....when we ask for our Paella and main course to be served after we have FINISHED our tapas starter please take note. Yet again last night our main courses arrived as we were still eating our tapas . Please please serve it after .......not just take it back and keep warm ......this isn't the first time it has happened either. Apart from that everything was as good as it normally is

   No matter the size of the group the service is slow. Need more waiting staff. The main waiter runs around like a headless chicken. 4 of us booked in and had 8 smalll bowls of tapas and 2 drinks each in 2 hours 40 mins !!!!

   This is a lovely, cosy restaurant at the heart of Dartford which is family run. It serves an excellent selection of tapas, larger platters, and sweets to suit all tastes. Prices are very reasonable. Although quiet when we visited (2-4pm Sat) I have been here in the evenings when it is busy and full - booking ahead is essential for the evenings as it is very popular. My only slight criticism is that having arrived on time we had to wait a while for someone to appear. Other than that, the service is great and the food is outstanding. One of my local favourites!
